We are always having fun at Nickels. Had a hard day? Stop by Nickels for some gaming fun
and libations!
We have also added a "Lotto" machine located conveniently at our
Sidecar Liquors counter. Think you know the winning numbers?
Just fill out the slip and give it to one of our helpful employees
(along with the appropriate amount).
Nickels has a fun answer for all your gaming desires. We have the Montana limit of 20 Keno-Poker machines; many of which can only be found in Helena at Nickels. We even have a GREEN MACHINE!, that pays you for active playing.
We have a multi-table Live Poker Room . We play 7 card Texas Hold-em nightly at 6pm and weekends at 1pm. Wednesday nights we play a no-limit game (Montana State law has a $300 pot maximum).
Bob Gilbert strives to make Nickels Gaming Parlour a place where his customers come to relax, meet new people, and enjoy old friends. “People don't socialize enough anymore,” Gilbert says. Gilbert made Nickels a place many people enjoy returning to. “This is like a Cheers bar,” Gilbert says. It's a friendly atmosphere where people talk to one another. Being a locally owned business means the staff at Nickels really get to know customers well.
Some of our customers call Nickels a museum because of our historic back-bar, the commemorative rifles on display, the antique slot machines, the signed guitar used by the rock group FLEETWOOD MAC, the collection of Lionstone and Jim Beam bottles and other bar related Memorabilia and we won't disagree.
We serve finger steaks, halibut, cod, shrimp, chicken strips, chicken dinners, egg rolls and more!
Late night snacking is available until close (unlike other Helena eating places that close at 9:00pm).
Nickels is a great place to stop late at night when you want a bite
to eat!
Sidecar Liquor Store is in between Nickels Machine Gaming area and the Poker room. It is a well stocked liquor store. Sidecar Liquor will specially order any of your favorite brands that we do not carry. We have only a minimal mark up on our liquor for sale. And, if you need ice after purchasing your liquor, we will even comp you a bag of ICE.
See what what great events we have planned, or just visit to relive some of the great events we have been a part of. There's always something exiting happening at Nickels! It's an offer of fun you can't refuse!
