    Outside of restaurant!

    Our crew was visiting from out of town for a hockey tournament. We were able to find street parking very easy on a Saturday. It appeared there was a pregame event for the Steelers game (which was the next day), so I was surprised parking was so easy. We were seated at a high top and our server was excellent! Attentive, checked in frequently and friendly. We had the typical "bar food." Burgers, fries, wings, wrap. Everything was good and hot the spot for a late lunch. TVs are everywhere, every angle. Patio! Clean restrooms All in all, it was a great lunch and great service. Lots of beer options too. ;)

    I had the Poké bowl for dinner at Tom's Watch Bar and honestly, I wouldn't order it again or recommend it. I understand the concept of serving cold rice with Poké, but this rice was refrigerator hard cold, which really threw off the entire dish. The fish, avocado, and other toppings were fresh, but the temperature of the rice made the whole meal less enjoyable. I should've gone with the burger and fries instead of trying to be healthy late at night. On the positive side, the ambience was great -- lively and fun with plenty of beer options. It's in a convenient location too; I was staying at the hotel across the street, so it was an easy walk over. Great spot for drinks and atmosphere, but I'd skip the Poké bowl.

    While, we was in Pittsburgh We had the pleasure of stopping by Tom's watch bar to have a Saturday evening dinner. The atmosphere was great. TVs were everywhere fun, sports bar. We got to watch SummerSlam on a giant TV with you. I really truly appreciated and loved. The food was fantastic. I got a giant beer the largest beer I've ever seen and it was awesome. Our waitress was very friendly and everything was perfect. Definitely recommend this place and I will be back the next time. We are in Pittsburgh.

    Food was delicious! But service was not amazing. The bartender was too focused on the game (which I understand) but it took us 20 minutes sitting at the bar to get our beer and it wasn't super packed. Besides that the bartender was nice and the food was good! Definetely best place to watch the game! Lots of tvs

    Went here during Picklesburgh, and it was super good. I ordered the Birria Nachos which was really good and well portioned out. I do wish however, they gave more meat as that was a little sparse but the flavor was good. After the nachos were finished since my boyfriend and j shared we ordered the Adobo Chicken tacos and they were supposed to be corn but came out flour. That was the only issue we experienced being there. They give the big cans of High Noons too for a decent price. If I am ever back to the north shore, I would definitely go back! Plenty of seating and a great atmosphere. Also the service was super friendly!

    Food was ok but the service was awesome and the ambiance was as expected for a sports bar. Prices were a little steep. For my husband and I to get two drinks (Tom's mar-great, topo-Chico--also great) and one app (pot-stickers -eh) it was $50 with tip.

    More TV's

    What a great place to watch a game and have a great time. Tons of TVs and got to meet the owner who was very nice. White staff is tentative and very helpful when deciding what you want to eat. You will not be disappointed if you make your way down here.

    The ultimate destination for watching all your favorite sports!! I checked out Tom's recently after 1 other not so great visit- I had been to Tom's one other time previously, right after they opened, and didn't have the best experience (it was mobbed and we didn't order any food- so couldn't judge on that) but it took forever to get a drink wnd the prices were outrageous- this time it was awesome- still an expensive spot but very cool and service improved. The food is elevated bar food. Everything was great! My favorite was the lobster & shrimp mac & cheese- unreal. Tasted better than what half of the fancy steak places around PGH serve. I also loved their prime rib dip sandwich and the nachos! Everything was delicious and I was very impressed For drinks I stuck with a glass of wine and also tried a fun shot. The wine pour was very generous! I will definitely be back after this experience

    Tom's Famous Prime Rib Dip
    Brianna G.

    Writing this review mainly to highlight the Prime Rib sandwich. It is so consistently delicious every time, and I'll never stop recommending it. The meat is perfectly cooked, the bread is soft but sturdy, the cheese is mild, and the demi glace just takes it to the next level in terms of flavor. I get mine with fries, which I find to be really well seasoned, thin, and crispy! I tried the fried pickles on my most recent trip, they were alright, dipping in ranch helped enhance the flavor for sure! They were a bit oily for my liking.

    My cocktail is tasty!

    starting with the host, they were really friendly, our group can be a bit much, but Mackenzie is and was very patient with us she very knowledgeable with the menu with really picky people like us, the cocktail I order was really good & Im very excited to try the food! Thank you for your service !

    Fun sports bar, but they give out free swag to people who leave 5-Star reviews (there's a sign at the front door for it) so don't believe the skewed high ratings. It feels a little sleazy that they do that. Service is quite slow & drinks are very expensive - deserving of an average sports bar rating but not 5 stars.

    Poké bowl
    Sarah G.

    I know what we're all going to say... it's a sports bar and we don't expect it to be amazing, BUT with that said, I expect to get what I am paying for. The food was fine, portions were skimpy in regard to the poke bowl and the nachos. For the birria nachos, and considering the price point, I would hope to get more than a half scoop of birria. This is a prime location for a drink before a sports game, or to watch the game considering the overstimulating amount of tvs, but for what you're paying for I would just hope for a little more bang for your buck. Positive note! Shout out to our waiter, it was a busy night and it was only his second day and he was delightful and knowledgeable of the menu!

    This is a perfect place to go before or after a game or even an event at AE. They have an open concept with a lot of TVs showing almost every game being televised. I will say it is rather loud. But, it is a sports bar. This was my second time here. And the food and service are great. With a nice selection of drinks, you can't go wrong. I may have been a party of two, but, I observed many larger parties around us. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. With good food, good drinks, good music and wall to wall sports, Tom's is a great place to go and meet up with your friends and family.

    I wish I had a picture from my 21st birthday on April 8th 2013. One of my best friends, Roman, took…read moreme here to drink. I remember the shock of seeing the beer menu, ordering a chocolate stout, and not being prepared for it! It was a great place to drink and enjoy the atmosphere of the sports on the TV's and sitting next to the windows. I will have to come back here soon, as I haven't been back since... This is a great place to make wonderful memories with special people. You don't want to pass this place up.

    We stopped into Sidelines because we'd heard good things about the wings. I'm here to tell you that…read moreyou may want to skip this spot. We stopped in on a Tuesday night and opted to sit at the bar since it wasn't busy. Something important to note is that when we arrived, the music was playing softly in the background. While the prices were decent, the service was not. Our waitress came over to us after our appetizers arrived, I asked for a refill, we made eye contact, she ignored me, and turned around. It took another ten minutes before I was able to get a refill, and she never asked again for the rest of the time we were there. The people sitting beside us arrived later and ordered similar food to us, and they somehow received their food quite some time before ours came out. I am almost certain the bartender forgot to put in our order. Halfway through our meal (which was okay at best), someone turned the music up so loud that we couldn't hear each other speak. I'm pretty sure "Brandy, You're A Fine Girl" played three times in a 30-minute window. It felt like we were intruding on a private party despite there being maybe seven other people at the bar. Despite clearly being done with our food, it took us another 30 minutes to get our checks. If you're looking for cheap bar food and don't mind repetitive music at varying levels of volume and being ignored by your bartender, give Sidelines a try.
