Where to Watch NFL Sunday Ticket in Ephrata, WA

The Short Answer

There is one bar and grill in Ephrata that puts on every NFL Sunday Ticket game at once, not just the one your local network picks. If you want to see your out-of-market team without driving to Wenatchee or Moses Lake, this is the spot. Doors open for breakfast, so you can grab a seat before kickoff and stay through the late window.

How the Games Actually Get Shown

NFL Sunday Ticket covers every out-of-market game on Sundays. A single TV can only show so much, so the trick is screen count and sound zones. Multiple screens means multiple games running at the same time, with the sound tuned to whichever one has the crowd's attention that hour. Early games start around 10am Pacific, the afternoon slate runs 1:05 and 1:25pm starts, and the late window kicks off around 4:25pm. Sunday Night Football closes it out.

Screens and Seating

Count on more than a dozen screens spread across the main room and bar area, so no matter where you sit, you can see at least two or three games. Bar seating fills up fastest, especially for a 1pm slate with three or four marquee matchups. If you're coming with a group of six or more, call ahead. Tables near the bar go first, and waiting until 12:45pm on game day is cutting it close.

What to Order While You Watch

Full menu runs the whole time, not a shortened game-day version. Wings, burgers, and a loaded nacho plate are the common orders during the early window. If you're settling in for all three windows, the menu has enough variety that you're not eating the same thing at noon and 6pm. Craft cocktails are on the menu too, not just domestic beer. If you don't know what to order, ask the bartender what's popular that week. It changes.

Bringing the Family

This is a family-friendly place, so kids are welcome for the early and afternoon games. The later 4:25pm and Sunday night slots skew more toward the adult crowd, just based on who's still there by dinner. If you're bringing kids, the early window is the easiest for everyone, including finding a table without a wait.

Happy Hour Timing

Happy hour runs Monday to Friday, 2 to 4pm, so it doesn't overlap with Sunday football. If you're watching Monday Night Football, though, you can catch the tail end of that happy hour before the game starts. Worth planning around if drink pricing matters to your budget.

Booking a Group for Game Day

If you've got a group of ten or more, or you want a section reserved for a specific team's away game, call ahead. Walk-ins are fine for most Sundays, but the playoffs and any game involving Seattle draw a bigger crowd. Reserving a table means you're not stuck standing during the 1:25pm kickoff.

What About Other Game Days

The bar is closed Tuesdays, so if there's a Tuesday night game on a short week, you'll need to catch it elsewhere or wait for the replay. Thursday Night Football, Sunday, and Monday Night Football are all covered on the regular schedule. Breakfast service means you can also catch early international games or a Saturday college slate if you're in before noon.

Patio and Takeout

The patio gets used in warmer months and has at least one screen visible from the tables, though the main viewing experience is indoors. If you'd rather watch at home, takeout is available, but you'll lose the multi-screen setup that's the whole point of watching Sunday Ticket out. Best for wing orders or if you're just grabbing food between games.

Bottom Line

For Ephrata and Grant County fans who don't have Sunday Ticket at home or just want to watch with other people, 12 Hawks is the local answer. Show up early for a table, plan around the 1pm crowd, and check the happy hour window if you're coming in on a weekday game night instead.
