Where to Watch Football in Lamorinda This Fall 🏈 📺

Football season is a good excuse to gather a few friends, order something to share, and spend an afternoon close to home. Whether you’re following the Niners, keeping up with college football, or joining someone who takes both very seriously, here are six local spots to consider.

Before heading out, confirm your specific game. Broadcast availability, sound, and special opening hours can vary, especially for out-of-market NFL games and college matchups.

For plenty of screens and a choice of indoor or patio seating

The Fourth Bore makes a strong starting point for game day, with 11 large-screen TVs inside and on the patio near the fire pit. Add craft beer, cocktails, and a menu with pizza, pulled pork nachos, and cheese curds, and there’s plenty to work with for an afternoon with friends.

Weekend opening time: 10 a.m., making it an option for early Sunday kickoffs.

For a classic neighborhood-bar afternoon

If your ideal football outing starts with a seat at the bar, put the Roundup on your list. This longtime downtown gathering spot has TVs and a covered back patio, with an old-school atmosphere that suits a casual afternoon watching the game.

Its posted opening time is 10 a.m. daily. Call to confirm your matchup and any food options before settling in.

For brunch with the game

For a group that cares as much about lunch as the score, Batch & Brine is an appealing option. There are burgers, shareable plates, a kids’ menu, and weekend brunch, with Saturday and Sunday opening at 10 a.m.

Ask for a table with a clear view of a screen when you arrive, and confirm your matchup if it’s the main reason for the visit.

For locally brewed beer and tacos

Western Flyer adds another option to the Lafayette lineup, with beer brewed on-site and a menu featuring tacos, quesadillas, and shareable bites. It’s an easy choice for a group looking to make lunch part of the outing.

Posted Sunday hours begin at 11 a.m. Check which game will be showing and whether there are special hours for early kickoffs. There’s also free underground parking, with an elevator up to the brewery.

For a relaxed brewery outing with the family

Canyon Club’s Moraga brewpub brings together house-brewed beer, food, and a casual outdoor setting that welcomes families and dogs. It’s a local option for watching football while making a meal of the afternoon.

Posted Sunday hours begin at 11 a.m., so check for special hours if you’re hoping to catch a 10 a.m. kickoff. Ask where your game will be showing before choosing a table.

For an afternoon game and a beer-garden catch-up

Headlands offers indoor seating, outdoor tables, an in-house food menu, and beer, wine, and cider near the Lafayette–Moraga Trail. Dogs are welcome, too.

The brewery has hosted football viewing at its Lafayette taproom in previous seasons. Its posted weekend opening time is noon, making it a better fit for afternoon games than early kickoffs. Check the current lineup before heading over for a particular game.

For a 10 a.m. Sunday kickoff, start with The Fourth Bore, Batch & Brine, or Roundup based on their posted opening times. For a later game, Western Flyer, Canyon Club, and Headlands add brewery options to the mix.

When you check ahead, ask three things: Will you have my game? Will the sound be on? Where can I sit to see it?Then send the group text and pick a meeting time.

Hours and menus can change throughout the season.
