Where to watch football in East Alton

Start with a plan that works for your group

When somebody asks where to watch football in East Alton, the next question is usually about the people coming along. Is it a couple of friends, a team getting together, or a bigger group that wants to eat before settling in? At Penalty Box Bar & Grill, we think the useful answer starts with the basics: where we are, when we open, and what food makes sense for your head count.

You’ll find Penalty Box at 17 Eastgate Plaza, East Alton, IL 62024. Football and playoff baseball on every TV. If your visit depends on a particular game, call (618) 216-2346 before making plans. That conversation is a better starting point than assuming a time, a space, or a food package will fit everyone.

Check the day before picking the time

Our hours are Sunday 11am–10pm, Monday 4–9:30pm, Tuesday and Wednesday 11am–9:30pm, Thursday 11am–10:30pm, Friday 11am–11pm, and Saturday 11:30am–11pm. Monday starts later, and Saturday opens at 11:30am. Those differences matter when one person is coordinating the whole group. Put the correct opening time in the group message so nobody is working from a guess.

Keep the food plan just as straightforward. Start with a rough head count, then decide whether you want pizza, wings, or a package. You don’t need to turn a football get-together into a complicated event. Knowing how many people you’re feeding gives you something concrete to discuss when you call.

Pizza and wings without the guesswork

The Power Play Pack is $89.99 and feeds 10: 3 specialty pizzas + two 12-wing orders. The Hat Trick Pack is $179.99 and feeds 20. For another pizza option, the Variety Pizza Package is $74.99. These are different choices, so use the package names when asking about your order rather than assuming their contents are interchangeable.

Wing trays are 25 for $34.99, 50 for $69.99, or 100 for $139.99. A tray count is an easy detail to share with the person handling the order. Think about your group’s food preferences as well as its size, and check the menu and catering page before choosing. There’s no need to guess what everybody wants if you can ask them first.

Make the next step clear

Event space is available if you’re planning more than an informal meet-up. Call to discuss what you have in mind rather than treating a group message as a booking.

Whether you’re watching football or arranging food for a group, one clear plan beats several half-finished conversations: choose your day, count your people, and make the call or place the order.
