When I say that I could have eaten another one immediately after finishing, is an understatement. The sandwich was incredible. The bread was toasted to perfection, the meat melted in your mouth and the dip was incredibly rich and full of flavors. We did share the crispy potatoes lived up to their name and were a good compliment to the sandwich. This is a MUST have when you are in downtown Denver.

When it was originally explained as a French dip restaurant, I'll admit I was skeptical but I'm very happy to say that I was wrong. This place is truly great. I ordered the alameda street and I feel confident saying I've never had a better French dip. The bread was perfectly fluffy and the flavors were seriously surprising. We also ordered the crispy potatoes and just thinking about them again is making my mouth water. The interior of the space was super vibey with disco balls and fun art. Def downtown vibes. Parking was not ideal, but it never is downtown. I ended up at a meter a couple blocks down which was totally fine. I love how meters allow you to pay by phone now and text you when your time is almost up.

Elevated Hospitality: A Masterclass in Event Execution at Tom's Watch Bar…read more I recently organized an event for 120 guests at Tom's Watch Bar in Denver, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the initial contract phase to the final onsite execution, the team proved they are true masters of high-stakes hospitality. The Vision & Planning Working with Joanna during the planning phase was a dream. She is a consummate professional with a sharp eye for detail. She understood exactly how to translate our brand into the space, creating a custom Denver-themed digital design featuring our logo that played across every large screen. The energy it brought to the room was palpable--our Immediate Past President was so impressed she's already requested the same "wow factor" for all our future events. The Spread The catering exceeded all expectations. We opted for a diverse package that catered beautifully to everyone, including our vegetarian and vegan guests. The Savory: The mac & cheese was a crowd favorite, and the chicken tenders were perfectly crispy and moist. The loaded sliders and tater tot bar also kept the energy high throughout the evening. The Sweet: Do not miss the dessert bar. Specifically, there is a peanut butter bar with an incredible internal crunch that is absolutely addictive. The Atmosphere & Entertainment The venue layout is genius. We had a mix of indoor seating for both small and large group discussions, plus an incredible outdoor space with stunning stadium views. We brought in a third-party karaoke vendor, and the staff--Joanna, Zach and Matt--coordinated with them so seamlessly behind the scenes that I didn't have to worry about a single technical detail. Between the karaoke, Jenga, and cornhole, there was never a dull moment. The Service What truly sets this venue apart is the personal touch. Zach and Matt are absolute stars. Knowing I was busy managing the entrance and welcoming guests, they went out of their way to check in on me personally, ensuring I had food and a drink in hand. That level of care for an event organizer is rare and deeply appreciated. If you are looking for a venue that combines a high-energy atmosphere with white-glove professional service, Tom's Watch Bar is the place. Request Joanna, Zach, and Matt--you'll be in the best hands in Denver.

I was unimpressed with the quality & quantity of the food, especially based on the Mile high prices. My burger was very flat, almost like a cheap hamburger patty from a fast food restaurant.

Either the waiter didn't communicate it properly or their menu didn't clearly list it. Either way I was made to feel like I was to blame for ordering a "non- well" cocktail that qualifies for a cocktail. I guess that's one way to win the battle but lose the war. I won't come back.

If you are looking for a sports bar to watch a game while enjoying a drink and bite to eat this may be the spot for you. Maybe due to being no major sporting event it was extremely dead on Sunday around dinner time. Which was fine with me cause it was nice not dealing with an overly loud crowd. They had a large amount of drink options including some good beer options with tons of cocktails/full bar available as you'd expect from a sports bar. The bartender was friendly after some conversation but at first seemed in an off mood. I suppose possibly due to the fact work was so dead may be why. Thankfully the best part was the Philly Cheesesteak and fries we split. Both were tasty, even more so than I honestly expected. Like I said if you're looking for a sports bar experience with friends this could be the spot for you. Just was so so in my opinion for our visit.

The server was polite and didn't mind helping me learn the best way to eat the array of foods. A couple of minor negatives in my view is the multicultural feast had to be washed down with a coke instead of some exotic teas or juices.
