Not only did the food raise the bar for other places in the area, the fries were some of the best we've ever had period. lol Staff was amazing and super accommodating not only to us but other patrons! I'm very observant and definitely noticed how friendly they were with a customer with special needs. I realize this is a chain so I want to not only commend the Denver team, but the entire company. Can't wait to eat here again!

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.

If you're very hungry, get the regular which is a double pattie. Fries are fresh and crispy. They looked like they were double fried which make them extra crunchy, but tender in the middle. The dipping sauces are a spicy ketchup or what might be their version of ketchup mayo. We grabbed some burgers after a comedy show. It was Thursday night, and only a few customers. Although a few groups came in after we got our food. The space is railroad style with the kitchen at the very back. You've got to ride an elevator down a level to get to the bathroom. The service is quick and friendly. Order at the counter and pick up at the front too. Enjoy!

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. Besides being thin, my burger was undercooked. How does that happen to a sliver of a burger? My experience at Tom's Watch was fun, but too expensive.

The fry's were nasty and on top of that the sides aren't included in the cost of the $18 burger. We brought up the raw burger to the waiter and he was very dismissive and when we told him it was too pink he just said "oh, so you don't want a box?" Then snatched the plate from the table. Will not be back here and as someone who works at one of the hotels next to it. I will not be recommending it.

While the Tikka Masala portion felt a bit smaller than other spots, the taste was spot on. * The Honey Pizza: This was a standout for me! It's unique and really tasty, though it was a bit polarizing for the rest of the table. * The Service: The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. The Chicken Tikka Masala Cheesesteak was supposed to come with tzatziki, but I didn't see or taste any on mine. The Veggie Tikka Masala Burger was also a bit of a letdown--it's essentially a standard burger with a side of masala sauce for dipping. We were hoping the burger itself would be infused with those Indian flavors rather than just relying on the extra sauce.
