    We came upon this restaurant while looking for another restaurant. I'm So happy we stayed and ate . The food was great . The service was friendly. It's called Watch Bar because there are sports games on all the TVs . You can eat and watch the games in a great ambiance. Check them out

    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!!

    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!

    Water is part of the instant meet and greet!

    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.

    Prime Rib Sandwich

    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.

    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!!

    Margarita

    Nice vibe, great for a quick drink before going to a concert/ game ! A lot of large screen TVs Service was good, this restaurant is cashless so be prepared

    Ok, well can't just give this place 5 stars simply because this is where we saw the U.S. Men's soccer score a goal in the first 3 minutes of their World Cup match vs Turkey!! Service was great, food was tasty and ambiance was fun! Thanks, Leslie & Journey for taking good care of us!!! We'll be back to another Tom's thanks to this good crew!

    Rosanna was our server. We ordered the wings extra crispy and they were super good! My go to drink was the Anjo Old Fashion and she killed it. With big the playoffs was super solid here! We will be returning

    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.

Every time I come here it gets more packed, which is both annoying and completely understandable because the food is ridiculously good. The tacos are fantastic, the fries are life-changing, and the hongos fries specifically deserve their own national holiday. This place made the Top 100 food spots in America list, and honestly? Deserved. It's the best taco spot in the country in my opinion and makes places like Torchy's feel like they're competing in junior varsity. The vibe is also way above average for a taco joint; lively, clean, and full of people who look like they just took their first bite and immediately started planning their next visit. The taco crew is always friendly too, even while dealing with lines longer than a DMV on a Monday. If you don't know what to order, here's the move: Get one taco or an especial if you're a cheese enthusiast, a medium fry with your topping of choice, and guac with chips. That's the kind of meal that makes you sit in your car afterward thinking about your life choices in a positive way. Enjoy. And maybe stretch beforehand because you're going to want to fight someone over the last hongos fry.

I recommend the asada, the hazz, the Lorenza, and anything with the beans. Order at the counter, they'll call your name when your order is ready, and the seating is casual and open. They have a selection of aguas frescos, but I usually like a classic bottled coke for the perfect beverage pairing.

This location is a standalone with a decent patio. Parking is minimal but seemed like there were enough people coming and going. I got a spot right away. Note when leaving you'll have to go right - heading North on 43rd. The staff here were really nice! It was very busy and after ordering, I was standing with others waiting for my food when the other cashier called me up to check on me, thinking I hadn't figured out the process. He was very nice! The place was packed people finished quickly so getting a table wasn't hard. They also had someone cleaning up tables quickly. I got a carne asada caramelito and a carne asada taco. The caramelito continues to be my favorite of the two. Love the roasted salsa on the salsa bar though the hot red one is really good too! I do wish their guac salsa had more tang and salt. I find it bland. These are among my fave tacos but not my absolute so thus the 4 stars.

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.
