    Truly the only perk of this place is that there are so many TVs. The service is never the best and it's usually dirty. Giving 3/5 stars because it's close to the stadiums and the rivers.

    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.

    Best place for pregames, loved our server and hosts... the beer is cold and served on glasses. The food is delicious and atmosphere can't be beat before the big game.

    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.

    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

    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.

The pastrami and cheese is very solid, especially for $10, where you get a fair amount of meat and fries. Of course, most of it is coleslaw, but again for the price, I'm not surprised.

You have to try one of the signature sandwiches (various meats topped with coleslaw and fries and amazing, thick bread). Something to note is that this isn't a creamy coleslaw. In fact, on its own it doesn't have much flavor (mostly just pepper) but it somehow pairs well with the sandwich. The downside to this location is that they aren't exactly the best at table turnover/cleaning tables and the restaurant itself doesn't feel spotless (like some other locations do). But in a way, it kind of adds to the vibe of the place. There are several parking garages and also on street parking nearby. Nice that it has late hours most evenings (since a lot of downtown restaurants seem to close fairly early). Definitely worth a visit.

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.

    My first trip to Pittsburgh meant a lot of firsts, including my first meal in the city…read more After a 3:30 AM wake-up call and a flight into Pittsburgh, my 18-year-old travel companion Jackson and I were more than ready for lunch. Normally I travel with his dad so this trip was a little different. Jackson has heard plenty of stories about all the places his father and I have eaten over the years, so this time I handed him the responsibility of picking our first restaurant. Working downtown, we needed something close by and landed at RedBeard's Sports Bar & Grill. The short walk through downtown Pittsburgh was interesting, but the weather was another story. Hot, humid, and muggy. By the time we arrived, the restaurant was busy and only outdoor seating was available. We took a table outside but asked if we could move indoors when something opened up. Our server, Lauren, was fantastic from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and she made sure we were well taken care of. I let Jackson choose the appetizer and he knocked it out of the park with the mozzarella sticks. Crispy on the outside, loaded with gooey melted cheese on the inside, and paired with a very good marinara sauce. Definitely a strong start to the meal. Jackson and I quickly came to the same conclusion: air conditioning exists for a reason. Patio dining has its place, but a hot and humid Pittsburgh afternoon isn't it. Thankfully, we were able to move inside once a table became available. For my meal, I ordered the Reuben, one of my go-to sandwiches whenever I see it on a menu. RedBeard's version didn't disappoint. Plenty of corned beef, good flavor throughout, and everything worked well together. I requested my fries well-done with no seasoning, and they came out exactly the way I like them. Jackson went with the Inside-Out Grilled Cheese and was thrilled with his choice. Judging by how quickly it disappeared, I'd say it was a winner. I don't know when I'll find myself back in Pittsburgh, but I enjoyed both the restaurant and the downtown atmosphere. Good food, excellent service from Lauren, and a solid first dining experience in the city. 4 stars from me. I'd happily stop back in the next time work brings me to Pittsburgh.
