Nightlife with Diana - Iron Range

Valentini's on the main street of Chisholm is a special place for me. My grandparents opened Valentini's in 1934. Whenever I walk through the door, I am flooded with memories of my father behind the bar serving up drinks & jokes for everyone. Valentini's is known throughout the Range for their authentic, home-made Italian food and lively bar. There are so many fun places on the Iron Range, it was difficult to narrow my favorites down to four. No matter where you go, you see people of all ages enjoying themselves. You will never find more friendly, fun loving people! Once you step inside the Whistling Bird on the main street of Eveleth you will be instantly transported to Jamaica! The owners are your tour guides as you enjoy tropical drinks and authentic Jamaican food that is just delicious! Everything about this place is fun! In the Sturgeon Lakes area is a popular place called Bimbo's, known for its famous pizza and secret recipe chicken wings. It is always busy; especially in the summer when everyone is "out at the lake". Zimmy's, on the main street of Hibbing, is named for Hibbing native Bob Zimmerman better known as the famous singer & song writer Bob Dylan. In the summer you can sit outside or year round in the atrium patio. Day or night, Zimmy's is an entertaining place to stop to meet friends.
