12 Hawks Wednesday Specials: What's on the Menu

Wednesday at the bar means wing specials, a burger deal, and happy hour pricing that runs 2 to 4pm. If you're deciding where to eat midweek in Ephrata, here's exactly what's on offer and what it costs.

The Wednesday Lineup

Wednesday is the first day back after the Tuesday closure, so the kitchen runs a full menu plus a few midweek add-ons. Expect these standing items:

• Wing special: discounted wings by the dozen, tossed in your choice of sauce. Good for splitting at a table of four.

• Burger of the week: a rotating build, usually $2 to $3 off the regular price.

• Happy hour, 2 to 4pm: the same discounted drinks and appetizers you'd get any weekday, including Wednesday.

Specials can shift week to week depending on what's fresh and what's moving through the kitchen, so the safest bet is to check the full food and drink menu before you head out, or call ahead if you're driving in from Soap Lake or Moses Lake.

Why Wednesday Works for Families

Wednesday isn't a late-night crowd. It's families finishing up midweek errands, kids with early bedtimes, and folks who want a sit-down meal without a wait. Portions are sized for sharing, the dining room stays under control until later in the evening, and the kids' menu runs the same prices all week, not just weekends.

If you're new to town or just haven't been in, Wednesday is a low-pressure night to try the place out. You'll get full service, a full kitchen, and none of the weekend rush.

Happy Hour Details

Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 2 to 4pm, so Wednesday is no exception. Drink prices drop, a handful of appetizers get cheaper, and it's a solid window if you're getting off an early shift or just want a quiet drink before the dinner rush. For a breakdown of what's included and why locals keep coming back for it, there's a full writeup on why locals choose this happy hour.

One tradeoff worth knowing: happy hour pricing doesn't apply to the full menu, just select items. If you're planning a big group order, ask what's covered before you sit down.

Game Day on a Wednesday

Wednesday isn't peak sports night, but there's usually something on. Weeknight baseball in season, midweek college matchups, and whatever's airing gets put up on the screens. If you're specifically chasing a game, it helps to call ahead and confirm the channel lineup, especially for less common matchups. Weekends and Monday nights are still the busier viewing nights, but Wednesday works fine if you want a table and a clear view without fighting for seats.

What It Costs

Wing specials typically run a few dollars cheaper per dozen than the regular price. The featured burger drops into the $10 to $13 range depending on the build. Happy hour drinks are usually $1 to $2 off standard pricing, with a short list of discounted appetizers. None of this is complicated pricing, no hidden minimums, no coupon codes. You show up, you order, the discount is already built into the price on the board.

Planning a Wednesday Visit

A few practical notes if you're planning ahead:

• Wednesday is a normal business day, not a holiday or reduced-hours day, so standard hours apply.

• Groups of 6 or more should call ahead, especially if you want a table set up before you arrive.

• If you're coming from out of town for the specials, double-check timing since the wing and burger deals are tied to the day, not a specific hour window like happy hour is.

Wednesday sits right after the weekly closure, so it's worth knowing why that closure happens in the first place if you're planning a weekly routine around this place. There's more detail on that schedule in why the bar is closed on Tuesdays.

Bottom Line

Wednesday gets you wing specials, a discounted burger, and the same happy hour pricing you'd find any weekday. It's a solid pick if you want a full meal, a decent drink, and a game on the screen without weekend crowds. 12 Hawks runs this lineup most weeks, but specials can shift, so a quick check of the menu or a phone call before you head out will save you a surprise at the table.
