Champions Sports Saloon has been some sort of bar on the main drag in downtown Gilbert since the 1940s. It’s a roomy place, with a bar, tables and chairs, twinkling pinball machines lined along the right-hand wall, and an enclosed patio out back. The “sports” in the name takes the form of lots of games on the TVs, poker and dart leagues, and an abundance of Arizona sports team posters on the walls. They also have snacks cooked in a deep fryer and a pizza over, though you’re welcome to bring in food from nearby restaurants.The pennies underneath epoxy on the bar (once a fixture of the décor here) may be gone, but the stiff drinks the bartenders slide over them remain.
