Where to watch the 49ers in Nevada City? Sherwood, the old brick tavern at Pine and Commercial, shows Niners games on five HD screens with sound at the bar. Three of the games left this season kick off in the evening here, right at dinner time, and a crew of 4 to 15 can book a booth with one screen kept on the Niners.
Niners fans in the foothills have a long drive to Levi's Stadium. Most Sundays, the game comes to you instead. This post is for the fans who want to see it with a crowd, a plate of wings and a few people who will yell at the same calls.
Where can you watch the 49ers in Nevada City with a crowd?
At the bar, in a booth, or in a room of your own. It depends on how many of you there are.
- The bar: best for one or two fans. The sound is on, and you will hear every snap count and every groan.
- A booth: best for four or more. A crew of four to fifteen can hold a booth with one screen tuned to the game.
- The Forest Room: best for a full crew. It is our private room, built around an oak tree, and it holds 4 to 70 guests for events.
Red and gold is welcome in all three. So is the odd Cowboys fan, as long as they are polite about it.
When do the 49ers play the rest of this season?
Here is the schedule from the 49ers schedule page, from Week 9 on, with times in Pacific time. Home games are at Levi's Stadium. Times and TV can move. The NFL uses flex scheduling, per its schedule release, so check the team page the week of the game.

The three evening games are the easy ones. They kick off at 5:20 PM, or 5:15 PM on the Thursday, right when dinner service gets going. The rest kick off in the morning or early afternoon. The bar's posted start time is 4 PM, so phone us at (530) 265-9093 and ask about Sunday hours before you plan one of those with us. You can also check current hours on the visit page.
Do you need Sunday Ticket to see the Niners?
Not often. Here is why. NFL Sunday Ticket fills in the Sunday games that the CBS and FOX channels in our area leave out. If the Niners are on local TV here, they are not on Sunday Ticket. If they are not, Sunday Ticket has them. Google's Sunday Ticket help page lays out that rule. The Niners games in the table air on CBS, FOX, NBC and Prime Video.
We carry Sunday Ticket and the big cable sports channels. Ask the bartender which screen has the Niners. The Thursday game at the Chargers is the one to check. It streams on Prime Video, so call that week to ask whether it will be on.
How do you book a booth for the crew?
Phone us, or fill out the request form on the contact page. Then tell us three things.
- The date and the game, so we know it is a Niners crowd.
- How many are coming. Four to fifteen is the sweet spot for a booth with its own screen.
- Whether you want to eat at kickoff or graze through the game.
Then wait for us to confirm. A booth is yours once we say so, not before. For the big games, like Mexico City on a Sunday night or the Eagles on Jan. 3, ask early.
What should a Niners table order?
Whenever we are open, there are two menus in play: game day food and the full dinner list. For a booth full of fans, it is hard to beat wings, sliders and nachos in the middle of the table. The French Dip is a good pick if you want one plate that is all yours.
If the night game lines up with dinner, go bigger. Start with the house onion bread. Add The Outlaw French Onion Soup when it is cold out. Our visit page lists 12 craft taps, and there are mocktails for whoever has the car keys. See it all on the menus page.
Questions people ask
Do I need NFL Sunday Ticket to watch the 49ers here?
Not for the night games. Those air on NBC and Prime Video. For Sunday afternoon games, Sunday Ticket carries any game your local CBS or FOX station does not show.
Will the Thursday game at the Chargers be on?
That game streams on Prime Video on Dec. 17. Call us that week to ask if it will be on a screen before you plan around it.
Can we book a booth for a 49ers game?
Yes. Bring 4 to 15 people and ask for a booth with one screen kept on the game. Give us a ring at (530) 265-9093 to set it up. It is yours once we confirm it.
Can a big group of Niners fans take over a room?
For a private event, the Forest Room holds 4 to 70 guests. Ask about it on the banquets page or when you call.
Faithful, find a seat
Some seasons are fun. Some are long. Both go down easier with friends, warm wings and a room that has seen a few things. Wear the red. Bring the crew. Get home safe after the final whistle.
