Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
We heard earlier this morning that the Penalty Box Bar & Grill, 1862 South Wadsworth Boulevard, was slated to close its doors later this month.
But now we're wondering if "later this month" was code for "immediately."
Since yesterday, the phone number at the Lakewood sports bar has been disconnected and the website has gone down. The only indication of recent life is the spot's Facebook page, which called patrons to the bar for a birthday celebration on December 3.
If it looks like a closed restaurant, talks like a closed restaurant and walks like a closed restaurant... it's probably a closed restaurant.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
