Our Story

Built for the
Long Night

Penny's Slots opened its doors on Sheridan Road with one simple idea: a place where Zion can come together without pretense. No dress code. No attitude. Just cold drinks, loud sports, and the kind of music that makes you stay past midnight.

What started as a neighborhood sports bar has grown into something the whole community claims as its own — live bands on weekends, trivia Tuesdays, game-day crowds that fill every seat, and a kitchen that serves until the last call.

Live Entertainment

Local bands, DJs, and open mic nights every weekend — free admission, no cover charge.

Open Late

Kitchen stays hot and the bar stays full until the early hours. This isn't a place you leave at 11.

Community First

Charity events, local sponsorships, and a front row for every big game in town.
