“People that know me think I’m crazy.”

Want a cold beer? I’ve got just the place for you: The Ice Hole Bar on Lake Lida, Minnesota (population 697). That’s right—on Lake Lida. The lake, which is covered in 23 inches of ice this time of year, is home to more than 100 ice fishing houses. Chris Haugen took the idea one step further and opened an ice fishing bar. The Ice Hole Bar offers seating for 20, satellite TV, and an ice fishing hole. The Otter Tail County sheriff has some concerns about mixing alcohol, ice and driving but says he’ll keep an eye on the place, like he does with all bars in his county. Mr. Haugen has plans to expand his ice fishing bar idea to additional lakes next year. He certainly lives in the right place for it: Otter Tail County has 1,048 lakes and an average winter temperature of 11 degrees.
