    Came late lunch hour/early afternoon on a week day so understood why the place was empty. Looks like an amazing place to watch some games. Very long bar with high tops and wall-to-wall big TVs. Good draft line. Menu looked like standard sports bar food. Not the friendliest of bartenders but seems like a great place to watch a game with a decent size crowd.

    2.13.26 hadn't been here before, was going for a party on a friday night fron 7-9. The place is Huge inside. Tons of a TVs. I can see how this would be agame watch heaven. It was incredibly empty when we got there (?!) Our party was in a side back room, also plenty of tables and space. Our server Lexani was awesome, friendly and great with drink and food orders. (This was a pay your own night among the group.) On her recommendation, I tried the prime rib sandwich and tater tots. It was good. Not phenomenal, but good. It came with horseradish sauce and au jus both on the side, which was great. It was a decent size, too. Some of the other dishes saw going to other people looked great as well Here is where I bounce between 3 or 4 stars: I had a club soda ($4.5), one cocktail (14.99, a spicy margarita, kind of on the small side), and my sandwich (24.99). That, with tax, service fees and tip, came to $60. Sixty bucks, just for that! So for what it is and the sports bar atmosphere, it is just over priced. #ReviewsByRL

    Beautiful bar full of tv's, beer and drinks! We sat at the bar and had great service! Best place to catch a game and a drink!

    I've been here a couple times. And I still have mixed feelings. But there are allllooottttt of tvs and a great place to watch sports. Just so loud sometimes you can't hear them.. the drinks are expensive but the servers are fast.

    Cool place, but ridiculously expensive... We stopped into Tom's Watch Bar for a few drinks with friends after dinner at St. Elmo's. We really liked the atmosphere (it would be a great place to catch a game), good service, decent looking menu, and clean restaurant/bar, but insanely overpriced... $175 (without out tip) for 10 drinks - That's customer price gouging at its finest and it's not remotely debatable... This kind of crap has got to stop, as customers will not return.

    It's always a good time at Tom's. Attentive service and the food comes out hot and delicious. Perfect before a game. Love the number of TVs and the cool vibe.

    It's your quintessential sports bar and sports you will get. We went to watch one of the Dodgers Vs Blue Jays World Series games on a Monday, the same time as Monday Night Football. The place was more and more packed throughout the night, but the staff were really impressive with their ability to serve everyone. We sat in the back room and though we ordered at the bar, we still had our food brought to us. We got jerk wings, cheese curds, and fried pickles. None were too greasy and were good perfectly. The drinks were also really good. It's noisy in the main area but that's what you'd expect, it's very lively.

    This took 30 minutes to make.

    I'm so disappointed to write this review. After attending a great premiere event here, I was excited to come back. Finally got the chance today and it was awful! We were seated at 1:21pm. Despite literally half the restaurant being empty, it took until 1:30pm for anyone to even come ask us about drinks. By then we were very much ready to order. We each got a burger and fries. Easy orders. Our food didn't arrive until 2pm! And it wasn't even right. My burger said it came with lettuce, onion, and tomato. The tomato was missing. It was also plated dry, but there were no condiments on the table. My son had ordered regular fries, but had received loaded fries. They conceded that we ordered regular and took it off the bill, so that could have been ok. But the loaded fries were cold and congealed. Our drinks were never refilled either--just a water and diet soda. Nothing fancy. Again, the place was half empty. This wasn't a rush. They should have been able to easily get a decent burger and fries out to us.

    A bunch of us are in town for a conference and were here on Sunday and Monday afternoon. The place is awesome. Great place to watch games with TV's outside and inside. If the food was better I would have given 5 Star. We tried the fried dill pickles, which were soggy. We also had the potstickers which had good flavor. The nachos were the best of the three. It was packed on Sunday with the NCAA basketball tourney in town and the service was slow, but to be expected since it was almost standing room only.

    Korean wings
    Liza G.

    This place is like a candy store for sports fans--130+ TVs?! That's insane. But honestly, I love this place. I'm all about a good bar packed with passionate sports fans. If you come on a big game night, expect it to be pretty busy. That said, the staff is always super quick and really friendly. Order the korean wings--you won't be disappointed. This is definitely a more upscale sports bar, so don't expect typical sports bar prices. The menu is a bit more elevated (think prime rib sandwiches), so as long as you're not expecting $3 shots, you'll be just fine!

    Let me tell you, Tom's Watchbar is TRULY the place to be. With over 50 tv's ready to showcase the big 5 major sports and more there is room for every sports fan. This bar is intentional on their locations and the audience they attract. Now...on to the food. The ahi tuna tower and the crispy chicken &cornbread pancake personally stole the show for me. Both were packed with flavor and presentation was beautiful. Bevies that Bev had-lavender lemon drop & peach bourbon smash. The lavender was a personal fav but I'm also a little bias because lavender ANYTHING will always be ordered. This YELP event will be one to remember and I can't wait to go back to Tom's for a game.

    Seafood Mac & Cheese
    Jill R.

    Tom's Watch Bar really impressed! Large TVs literally everywhere you look. Not a bad seat in the place. Beers on tap plus cocktails give plenty of choices. Food options are elevated bar food. Deep Dish Nachos were a great start, tri color chips with shredded beef, and a big portion. Seafood Mac & Cheese was delicious but do recommend adding dash (or lots) of hot sauce for a kick. Can't wait to come back...Fever opener can't come quick enough!

    Food was beyond average. Our server was nice but nothing to write home about. Food was like warm at best. My prime rib sandwich was 90% fat that i had to remove. Fries were horrible, no flavor. Just tasted like cardboard to be honest. Vibes were fun, atmosphere was great. Would i come in for a drink before a game? Absolutely. Would i come here to eat a meal? Probably not.

I also love that they allow you to mix & match on the sliders (filet, fried shrimp, or wagyu beef with Brie). I went with 1 filet and 1 wagyu beef, which was also perfect! Would love to try the fried shrimp at some point. The accompanying aiolis perfectly complemented the sliders! I completed my meal with a lemon drop martini. Service was friendly & attentive. Will definitely keep this spot in mind the next time I return to Indy & would highly recommend to others. In fact, I found it superior to my experience @ Harry & Izzy's--much more my vibe!

Even though they were busy the wait was not very long and the host was so nice and I wish I could remember his name. Our server was so nice and kind and made great recommendations. I had the mocktail Nohito and it was sooo cute and delicious! The others had cocktails and a bottle of coke (yes glass bottle)- cute right?! Now we had the Karange tofu and I need that recipe! The crispiest most flavorful tofu outside and nice and soft inside. Couldn't tell it wasn't chicken! We also had oysters. For dinner I had the Katsu Curry and it was on point! And the leftovers were just as delicious. My sister had the Tantanmen and it was sooo good!! I could drink that broth. They do give you options for rice instead of noodles and broth if you like options. We also shared the Glazed tofu and yall it will change your LIFE!!!

The drinks, the ramen, the dessert...we love it all, and we love spending our money at a local business. For years now, the kitchen has substituted rice for ramen for me because I have gluten intolerance. I have always asked respectfully, explained why, and said thank you, every single time. Tonight my husband and I walked down to Strangebird for dinner, ordered drinks and dinner, and I had *just* said to my husband that Strangebird has come to feel like a second home. Then the server came out and told us that the chef has decided they will no longer permit any modifications, including those that meet dietary needs. We were out on the quiet patio surrounded by other customers, so on top of being totally blindsided, it was actually pretty embarrassing, too. Folks, let me tell you how much I wish I could just eat the ramen noodles like everybody else. So much food that I love (and in some cases spent years learning to make myself) went out the window forever when my body stopped being able to handle wheat. But at Strangebird, I could still go in and enjoy the depth of flavor in every other component of a bowl of ramen. And that meant the absolute world to me. I'm heartbroken.

Keagan Fife (Manager) - A team player, receptive to feedback and conscientious. We had a issue while there and he was able to step in and problem solve with me and come up with a solution that really won us over. We had a moment where it was feeling a bit "why did we come here" but his customer service exceeded expectation. That's good management. (He's the gentleman in the video below.) Let's get the negative out the way 1st. The first waitress asked if we wanted anything to drink. I told her we hadn't received menus. She came back sat them down and walked away. We never saw her again. A new waitress came and she seemed pleasant enough. Once we were all seated she began to take our orders. She made a point to say she needed to write it all down or she was get it mixed up. She then did not write anything down. Our food came out extremely slow but that wasn't a huge deal because we all were mingling. A lot of her team had to step in and deliver our food, give drinks, check on us etc. She was pretty non existent. Two of the ladies never received food. This was after we had been there for 2 hours and everyone else had received their items. At the end when we asked for our check they were all mixed up and confused. The waitress then blamed us for adding things and moving around. We never moved once and she only came around the one time when she originally took our orders. We never got a chance to add things. (it was quite comical that she tried to say that) I ended up asking for manager because she seemed overwhelmed and a bit bias about our group. Assuming that we wouldn't want one check and splitting them because she figured we would want it that way and then blaming us because she did it when we never asked for split. There rule is parties over 8 have to have 1 bill and we never asked for an exception. There was just her assumption that a group of black women wouldn't want to do that. (I digress) There were a few more things but I will end it there. That was the big negative. Now the positive!!! Ambiance 10/10 - great views, great music, great location, umbrellas on roof were great although a but wobbly and scary. Also, they come around with complimentary sunglasses while dining. I thought this was a nice and luxurious touch! Food 8/10 - most food received was delicious Service 9/10 - everyone except for our server was great! Everyone who pitched in to help was awesome! Ended up tipping a different server who basically helped us the whole time. Bless his heart because I know he was super busy. As stated above management handle the situation well. I would definitely go back! I try to give people a chance. I think our server may have been overwhelmed and had a past experience that left her bias against our group but hopefully she can grow and get better. Her actions don't reflect the restaurant as a whole! Go and enjoy the vibes and views!
