This review is only on the nachos and the TVs. Great spot for a game to watch. Anywhere you turn your head you have a tv to look at. I'm wondering if the restrooms had TVs too now haha Lots of TVs all over the place and we saw the NBA Finals game where the Knicks won and the energy was electric inside. We just had nachos and they were excellent. Queso was really good and filled with toppings and chips. Service was good considering it was a big busy game day too. read more

We had a reservation at Blanco, but since we arrived downtown early, our table wasn't ready yet. We were downtown for a concert at the Mortgage Matchup Center and wanted to stay close by, so we decided to walk around and see if we could find somewhere that could seat our group of six sooner than waiting another half hour for reservation. We walked into Tom's Watch Bar and lucky for us they had a table available and were able to seat us right away! Tom's is a big sports bar with tons of TVs everywhere. We sat in the back just below the large TV. The menu reminded me a lot of Yard House or Thirsty Lion, with a variety of options. One thing I noticed is that they don't have a kids menu. I asked if they had any options for kids, and we were told they could make kids mac & cheese, chicken tenders, or grilled cheese. We actually ran into another group of friends with kids who were also going to the concert, and they were eating there too. They were never told about the kids options and ended up ordering adult-size meals for their kids, which they were disappointed about, can't take left overs into a concert. I'm sure Tom's gets a lot of families dining there before Suns or D-backs games and events, so it might be helpful to have a small paper listing the kids options to hand out with the regular menus. We started with the poke nachos, which were pretty good. They were a little smaller than the portion you get at Yard House, but still tasty. My son ordered the kids mac & cheese with fries, and my daughter got the chicken Caesar salad. Our friends ordered the bacon avocado cheeseburger and a grilled cheese, while I went with the Mediterranean bowl salad. My Mediterranean salad looked absolutely delicious and had so many yummy ingredients, lettuce, quinoa, kale, edamame, tomatoes, artichokes, garbanzo beans, feta, and olives...but unfortunately it was completely saturated with the white balsamic dressing. I definitely should have asked for the dressing on the side because there was SO much on it, it was almost soggy. It was a bummer because I think I would have really enjoyed the salad if it hadn't been so heavily dressed. Hopefully it was just a one off and someone in the kitchen was a little heavy handed that day. My son loved his mac & cheese and ate every bite. I was happy to see they used cavatappi noodles rather than the basic Kraft-style mac & cheese you sometimes get at restaurants. The chicken caesar salad had really good cornbread croutons, but unfortunately, most of the romaine was the yellow bottom part of the stalk. It gave the salad a nice crunch, but my daughter would have preferred a little more green romaine lettuce. The croutons though were an awesome treat and she loved that addition with the chicken. Our food came out quickly, and our server was nice and attentive. The bill was definitely on the pricey side for what we ordered, but I guess that's to be expected for a downtown restaurant so close to the stadium. Overall, Tom's was a convenient find when we needed somewhere to eat before the concert. The quick seating, fast food, huge number of TVs, and sports-bar atmosphere made it a good option with the kids. I'd give it another try, especially to see if my salad was just a one-time dressing mishap! read more

Came here before a concert at mortgage mashup arena. It's a great location close to both the Suns and Dbacks. With both a concert and a Dbacks game the same night the place was packed and we had a 30 month wait. Went to the bar and got a drink, servers were pretty on top of paying attention to customers who walked up to the bar. Once the place started clearing out, we still were #4 on the waitlist. I went to ask the hostess on wait and we were sat quickly after that. There were 10 open tables at this point. Our server Gabe was nice and took our order quickly. We split the French dip which was very good (would order again) and the crispy club sandwich. That ok, probably would not order again. This is a place I would go back to when I have other events downtown. read more

Came here during the dodgers pre-game on august 8th. This place was packed and so but we found a corner outside under the shade. The server was super nice and quickly took out order. We all ordered the all American and the orders were all messed up, but we didn't really care cause I'm sure the kitchen was very busy. The burgers were good according to my kids as well as the wings we ordered. We left the game on the top of the 8the inning and we returned here and ordered wings and desert. We found a spot inside and watched the rest of the game. This place is a true sports bar, every section of the wall was a TV. The only negative is the service charge they tack on to your bill which I think is stupid and it takes the tips away from the servers instead of the owner just raising the prices on the menu. read more

VIP $20 reservations totally NOT worth it!!! AVOID!!! Paid influencers have obviously never watched a game here. Were to begin outlining the total disappointment. But first, the only positives: The staff is amazing! From the hosts to the servers and managers, all are extremely pleasant and accommodating! They're just working in a crappy bar. If it wasn't for the location, and the captive audience of sports patrons and tourists walking by, I doubt they would survive anywhere else. Our experience: we were given a 5:00 pm time to show up for our VIP reservations and arrived promptly - to an already long line. We were nicely checked in and informed that they were not ready yet for reservations and pointed to the already overcrowded bar to wait at (the fire inspector would have a field day with that crowd!). We were offered to check back as often as needed to see if the table was ready. We did a few times and were asked to keep waiting. Staff was very pleasant and apologetic. We were finally directed to some short tables in the middle of the restaurant. This seemed like an ideal "VIP" setting to take advantage of the TVs surrounding us. Big mistake. Huge. As other folks were sat around us, we promptly realized that the surrounding high tops would eventually block our expected great view, except for a few side TVs. The restaurant was unusually hot and keeping the front doors open didn't help. You know it's hot inside when you look around and grown men are fanning themselves with the menu! At least we can order a cold drink! Unfortunately, the 40 oz beer arrived in a large warm plastic mug, not a frozen glass mug, sure to boil the beer in no time flat. Hard pass in the future. That explains why they don't make an effort to offer great craft beers, just the run of the mill you can find anywhere. While advertising themselves as the "World Soccer Cup Headquarters" on about 1/3 of the available TVs, with another 1/3 on different sports or video goofs (SMH), the sound NEVER came on as the opening ceremonies started! It was well after kickoff that we finally got sound. But then you had to hunt a TV to watch as the main large 4-screen TV was not evenly mounted! From the little you could see above the people in front of you, players were distorted at the missed connecting point of the four TVs. Major Fail! Nobody in management noticed this earlier?!?!? Now it makes sense why the men's room soon ran out of paper towels, which were not replenished for the duration of the game. I know since I checked at each dehydration break. While the staff is nice, nobody seems to really care. The Prime Rib Sandwiches were decent, but the Au Jus was served a tepid warm and soon turned to a thickened slab of dark butter on a dish. Gross to dip in. The Mediterranean Salad was the only highlight - though skip the overcooked and dry salmon! The game itself was a nail biter!! Final quarter to go and.. what???? The "World Soccer Cup Headquarters" switched the sound to UFC!!! I KID YOU NOT!!!! At least we had our $20 VIP bags, advertised online as "FIFA World Cup VIP Gift Bag," to entertain us. It was a plain black plastic bag. You can't make this up!! Inside we found the Panini Official Sticker Collection FIFA World Cup 2026 sticker album. Which is totally worthless without any, uhmm, stickers!!! At least they served as coasters since the servers do not provide any cocktail napkins for your dripping beverage. Along with the coaster, err, sticker book, were some throwaway vendor swags; a plastic Modelo boot cup we'll never use, space-taking cheapo sunglasses to donate to the homeless next door, and a $10 Tom's voucher - good on your next visit and only one per party. As if. For the following games we will take our business to a place that actually serves some cold beers and cheeseburgers! read more

Went to Tom's for the first time this past weekend to watch the Cowboys game. The service was great, and the atmosphere was really nice--overall, I enjoyed the experience. The one thing that caught me off guard was being asked for a card for the table as soon as we were seated and then seeing a $25 temporary charge placed on my card before I had even ordered any food. I'm not sure if this is their normal procedure, especially during game days, but I have to admit that it felt a little uncomfortable and honestly a bit offensive to be charged before even having the opportunity to order. I would have appreciated being informed upfront that there would be a temporary $25 authorization and why it was required. Other than that, the service was great and the atmosphere was enjoyable. read more

Great place to grab a bite and have a drink, with almost every game on a TV to be watched. Generous pour on my mixed drink and the burger with tots were great. The only knock would be that they were out of their French dip, which is what they say they are known for. Appreciated the quick and friendly service, server made sure I had my drink refreshed when needed. Would be ideal for a group looking for a night out to watch whatever sporting event you're looking for read more

Outstanding and I highly recommend Tom's Watch Bar. We were there early on a Sunday and most of the downtown was waking up or closed. Tom's was welcoming and the water hit the table as soon as the wait staff said welcome. Beer was delivered to our table in a New York minute! They checked in and made sure as soon as we wanted to order that they were there. The food came out fast. It was hot and it was good. Now the games were all around us and it was the perfect day to hang out and have a good time. Give it a shoot. read more

This place blew our minds. It was late. We were starving. They had about three guests inside so we were skeptical. The reviews said 4.7 and it's a solid 5/5! The service was excellent. The ambiance was neat and clean with tv's and noise levels that were perfect enough that allowed us to hear one another. The food was great! Tuna taco, buffalo chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, burgers and the beverages. It was all great! This is a spot you don't want to miss. Enjoy! read more

Fist time at Tom's watch Bar. It's a really cool spot. The have TV's everywhere so any seat is a good seat! Located in the downtown Phoenix area . Parking is so so.. if you find a spot on the street grab it quickly!! The are parking garages all around so it's not an issue, you just have to pay for parking! The service was good, had to ask for water a few times.. but I get it it was busy. Had some tasty chicken fingers ... like 9 out of 10. The restroom was ehh,... if your that busy that's one area that needs to be checked often,.. I did have a great time.. it appeared everyone was having a great time. Definitely sports bar vibe!! read more

My friends and I visited here after a Mercury game. Let's start at the fact there were essentially 15 people in the restaurant and they were seating everyone in the bar area. They had 1 bartender, 1 server, 1 hostess and a manager. Clearly they were slow and sent people home for labor costs (understandable), but it took over 20 minutes to get our loaded French friends, which the manager made a point to compensate when he sat the on the table COLD! It took an additional 25 minutes for our wings to come out, which we only received because we reminded the server we ordered and we watched her go and put them in. The wings came out and were good. Let's talk about the final bill, $135!! They charged my friend $60 for a margarita that he had to remind the server to bring out the floater, only for her to say that the $60 drink he ordered did not come with it. Wrapping this up, there are MUCH better places in downtown Phoenix to go and enjoy a cocktail and get a bite. This is my 3rd time visiting and I am just NOT impressed with the service, food or cost of dining. I am providing 3 stars because my previous visits were ok. But that's strike 3!! read more

This was unfortunately one of the worst game-watching experiences I've had. Our group came to watch the Women's Final (South Carolina vs. UCLA), and the air conditioning was not working. We were told it had been down for several days. In Phoenix heat, this is not a small inconvenience -- it makes the environment genuinely uncomfortable for customers trying to enjoy a meal and a major sporting event. What was most disappointing was the lack of preparation or response from management. With advance notice of the issue, simple steps like portable cooling units, additional fans, signage explaining the situation, or even small goodwill gestures (discounts, appetizers, or drink accommodations beyond water) would have shown concern for customers. Instead, alcohol continued to be served in a very hot environment with no meaningful acknowledgment of the inconvenience beyond offering water. No apology signage, no proactive communication, and no visible management presence to address concerns. Customer experience matters most when things go wrong. This felt like a missed opportunity to show professionalism and care. The only positive was being there with good friends. Otherwise, this visit would have been a complete disappointment. What stood out most was that no manager was visible addressing guests or acknowledging the situation. read more

Absolute disaster. Sat there forever just trying to get acknowledged like we were invisible. Finally get a server -- cool, progress -- then we order drinks and... nothing. Time just starts disappearing. I'm looking around like, did the bartender leave the country? Waitress finally comes back and hits us with, "the bar is backed up." Backed up?? For drinks?? This ain't a five-course tasting menu -- it's liquid in a glass. So we say, "you know what, cancel it." Simple. Easy. Let's move on with life. 30 minutes later... still nothing. At that point it's not even bad service -- it's a full system failure. Like the whole place is running on Windows 95 and nobody knows how to reboot it. If you've got time to waste and enjoy being ignored, this is your spot. Otherwise... run. read more

I recently went to Tom's Watch Bar for the first time for an event that rented out the bar, and it was a great location with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and tasty food and drinks. There was a very large open area in the middle of the bar with upstairs and downstairs areas. The event was about five hours long, and I enjoyed some food and drinks while also watching the large-screen televisions, meeting plenty of other people including special guests, and taking part in a silent auction and raffle. There was also a pre-event gathering that took place for a small number of people in the middle of the open area (though I didn't participate in this but heard it through the sound system outside). Some new friends of mine and I found an open table just before the start of our event near the back corner of the bar though still easily accessible to the other areas of the bar. Several servers stopped by regularly to offer food and drinks and to pick up empty plates and cups. I ordered a signature cocktail called a Strawberry Lemonade, made with New Amsterdam Vodka, strawberry puree, refreshing lemonade, lemon, and sugar rim. I then ordered 8 jumbo wings served with fresh carrots, celery, ranch dressing, and Tom's sweet and smokey honey BBQ sauce for the wings. The wings and the cocktail were both tasty and exactly what I wanted to pass the time during the event. The service was good! The atmosphere was fun. There are 19 locations of Tom's Watch Bar including the Phoenix location in Chase Field, which serves 50+ beers and 50+ specialty cocktails and has 80+ screens. Their website (https://tomswatchbar.com/phoenix) features upcoming professional and college sporting events, an event guide, a large menu (complete with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options), and more. When the Suns hit the road, Tom's Watch Bar becomes Phoenix's official away-game headquarters. Their hours are Monday through Thursday from 4 PM to 11 PM, Friday and Saturday from 11 AM to 12 Midnight, and Sunday from 11 AM to 11 PM. If you park in the Collier Parking Garage, Tom's Watch Bar can validate you for up to two hours of parking. You can also join the Tom's Fan Club at https://tomswatchbar.com/phoenix/fan-club and receive 2 for 1 drinks during certain hours and if you sign up at least one day in advance, you can get your first drink for only $1. By signing up, you can receive news, announcements, promotions, offers, and more from Tom's Watch Bar. I was able to get a second cocktail of the same for no additional charge for someone else at my table. My new friends and I had fun at Tom's Watch Bar, and I hope to make it to future events there. I certainly recommend it for a fun bar atmosphere! read more

food was great, and very quick got us to the concert on time and there was 12 of us. The wings were amazing! And Sam was the best! read more

I had been seeing this place heavily promoted all over Instagram by local "influencers," so we decided to give it a try for a World Cup match and made a reservation. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill almost immediately. Despite having a reservation and arriving very early, they initially tried to seat us in one of the worst spots in the restaurant with almost no view of the TVs. On top of that, most of the screens were discolored, so the only decent one to watch was the large center screen. The bathrooms were another huge disappointment. They were already filthy when we arrived (before the place was even busy) and looked exactly the same when we left. I even mentioned it to an employee in the restroom, and he just looked at me like, "What do you want me to do?" The food was just okay. The wings were massive, which was great, but they arrived disappointingly soggy. The one bright spot was our server- she was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and honestly made up for a lot of the other issues we experienced. The final straw, though, is why I won't be coming back. We had plenty of empty seats at our table, so we invited a friend to join us. Almost immediately, the hostess came over and rudely demanded that we pay an additional fee just for him to sit with us, even though we were already ordering plenty of food and drinks and planned to spend even more. The way it was handled completely rubbed our group the wrong way and left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. There are plenty of places to watch sports that value their customers. Sadly, this won't be one we'll return to. read more

The food was horrible! Bro I have never had soggy chicken wings and flavorless pot stickers. Ask the waitress if they could give me all flats or atleast half flats on the wings and make them extra crispy. They gave me six drums and two flats. Wings were so soggy I was checking to make sure they were cooked all the way through. Bottom line best part about the Tom's watch bar experience was the waitress staff. They were nice attentive and even asked us if we wanted them remade. I hate remakes! Plus we didn't have time because we were catching a Mercury game. Sadly the $2 concessions were better at the game! Go to Tom's for the drinks and the severs and tip them well. read more

I really enjoyed this place. I came here before a Diamondbacks game and the place was pretty busy. It is a bit pricey, but the food was very good. I got the calamari appetizer and then prime rib sandwich, and they were both great. The service was also really good, she was constantly checking on us! If you're into sports bars with lots of TVs, this is the place to go. read more

Tom's Watch Bar - Prime Rib Sandwich - Tacos Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

So right off the bat this place gave me a bad taste in my mouth. 4% fee in small print on last page of menu. So are they 1. To embarrassed to add the price to current menu prices 2. Too lazy to update the menu prices 3. Or bein sneeky to try to get an extra 4% hoping you don't notice. This should be illegal Food was good, we split a humus appetizer and grilled chicken bacon sandwich. And a beer. service was excellent, tipped on entire amount including the BS 4%. Sorry but because of the chicken shit 4% will probably never go back. read more

Waited for table even tho half full. Tried to sit us in blazing sun since window coverings inadequate. Potstickers cold, complained, waiter said sorry only. No prices on drink menu, tables too close together. Will not be back!!! read more

This is a great spot to watch a game. They have so many TVs and an open seating layout that lets you watch multiple at once. I went once for a watch party in the middle of a Saturday and it wasn't too busy, but then also tried to visit inadvertently during a World Series game and it was packed with no available seats, so you may want to plan ahead if there's a big event on. The drinks were also good and the service was quick on the refills. The food is ok. I tried the potstickers and spinach artichoke dip. Both were ok, but I'd probably rate the dip better. read more

Terrible! Got there when they opened at 4pm before Diamondbacks game on a Monday! They had one server for the whole restaurant. We had a group of 6 so they recommended we sit in the bar area. No service there either. Had to get our own drinks at the bar which also had terrible service. We couldn't even order food because there was no server or way to know how long it would take. This was for a 65th birthday and this place came close to ruining it. We will never go back and suggest others find other options which are plentiful in that area read more

We called days ahead of time to make reservations and were told to do it online. We then attempted to make reservations and the site was unable to complete the reservations, so we called back and requested to make reservations over the phone and they explained that they hold half for reservations and half for walking. The day prior we called back to verify if there were any reservations available and they instructed us to just walk in. When we got there at 2 pm b there were plenty of vacant tables. But they told us that we can have a seat but we needed to leave by 3 pm. Very unprofessional especially after we've attempted to make reservations a week prior and followed up the day prior. read more

Journey was a fantastic server!! Very attentive and knowledgeable. I got an angry orchard cider and an appetizer.

Very slow service. Even after being there for an hour, we still had to request silverware AFTER our food arrived. Too many teenagers working there with no apparent supervision. Food and alcohol way overpriced. $26.24 for a salad at a sports bar?! read more

Son and I went. Never been. Way over priced. Resort prices. The server was so quiet and disinterested. I had to ask 'what' each time after she spoke. My son got the wings and I ordered a poke bowl and drinks. Son's wings came out but mine didn't. She never came to check. 10 minutes later she won't make eye contact but I wave her over. And she asks what's up. I said I'd love my dinner. She's laughs and says she was just in the kitchen and it will be up in just a second. 15 minutes later, no food. I eat the other half of my son's wings. I wave her over again. She says the same thing and I stop her. Cancel my order and tell the manager to take a % off the bill. The manager does the right thing, comes over, comps the food, but, and here's the big point to this story, he says to me: the food is frozen and the kitchen was just taking a while to unthaw it. He just admitted that their high priced food was frozen. Poke? Won't be going back. read more

Drinks and vibes are good! Prices weren't bad, and they were doing giveaways to anyone filling along with the MC. Entertaining for sure. The Nashville hot wings I had were insanely spicy, like ridiculous. I have a high tolerance for spice usually but MAN these got me. So good though. The service was honestly a bit slow, it took a long time to get our check and receive our food. That can just be growing pains as I know it's a newer spot. Will come back! read more

This might be the worst experience I've ever seen, I have 12 year of restaurant management. They had a completely empty restaurant with a 40 min wait cuz they were understaffed severely. While the manger/GM did nothing to help the staff. Staff was great but the GM/manger (short haired girl) literally did nothing while staff was dying. The planning and execution of the shift was embarrassing. Could be fixed in 10 mins but the people in charge had no care in the world. Honestly embarrassing how this is ran. The supervising staff made no effort to help and everyone on the staff I asked why it's so bad is "she's new" whoever is running this place or "new" is killing you're entire staff. She did nothing to help or solve issues. Absolutely embarrassing. Granted I've worked 15 years in much better bar and noticed the problems instantly. But yet I've also applied previously and never even got a reply. This place is an absolute nightmare the turnover rate is insane and it obvious why. The most poorly ran established place I've ever seen. And for once it not the employees it's the management. Absolutely embarrassing read more

Went on a Friday, believe the mercury were playing across the street, order the friend pickles and they were decent nothing to rave about, the buffalo chk pasta was delicious! The service was a bit strange, our server at first very attentive but out of the blue once our food arrived (someone else bought it out) our server just disappeared at some point my group and I were the only ones left in the restaurant and all for another employee to tell us that our server was "sent" home. All of us thought it very odd but overall decent place. read more
