    Came here for the first times with friends for a UFC fight warch party. There were 6 if us so we fot a table to the right, reas area near the large set of flat screens on the wall. Ordered: Strawberry Mule Jamaican Jerk Wings Service was good. Food was good. Environment was great for social gatherings around sports. I wasn't sure if it was kid friendly until I arrived and saw children present as well. Overall: Good spot to catch a fight or game and a drink.

    Went to Tom's Watch Bar on a Monday and it was completely empty, which was great, no wait. The restaurant was very clean and the servers were attentive. I wanted the ahi poke tuna nachos, but they were out. I ordered the prime rib sandwich ($24.49), which was a good size, and the tater tots were crispy. The deep dish nachos were also really good--flavorful, savory, and satisfying. Overall, a relaxed experience with good service and solid food.

    Normally comes with guacamole but subbed extra salsa.  Yummy.

    Had never visited this brand but its location was so inviting found myself inside. Christina T. is a Rockstar behind the bar! Incredible talent and multitasking, keeping the very different age groups and backgrounds entertained. Large footprint and they make the most of it; with plenty of options for seating. Bright, clean and outdoor, dog friendly seating too. Great for people watching. Regardless of where you sit, you're surrounded by big screens with plenty of every sort of sport! The Triple Dipper and Harvest Salad didn't disappoint either. Highly recommend for food, drinks and fun!

    Food was kind of terrible... Asada tacos were bland and meat portions were tiny! Poke bowl was so disappointing but I should've have expected much from a sports bar. The rice was hard! Fish tasted like it was thawed after being in the freezer. Good service but food was bad and expensive

    I like this place - except for on big Football game days. I came on Sat Jan 17th at 5pm for the 49ers vs Seahawks game. I stood at the bar waiting just for some water and an ice tea for 40min. Didn't even get eye contact, greeted, or acknowledged or a we will be right with you. I mean I know they were busy AF - but there needs to be a better system. For water - maybe just having some self serve stations will help. It's a good spot for pre-Kings game gathering especially with the open patio right in front. They still make the best Mai Tai Mocktail. Food has been good too. Sign up for their e-mail and they give a $1 drink of choice as a sign up reward (or at least used to). They don't do any happy hour as they get business as is... The location is nice - just wish service was better at the bar.

    Since Twin Peaks closed down, I heard this was a good option to watch the Super Bowl at. Despite getting there an hour and a half before the game started, there was a line at the door. I stood there waiting for at least 10 minutes-- mind you, on a bad leg. No idea why it was taking so long. When I finally got to the front, I asked if there was seating at the bar since I was by myself. They said I could only stand there to get drinks. What? I literally came here for the seating at the bar based off the pictures I had seen online where people were able to sit at... There was no seating available inside, so they said I could try my luck in the outdoor area. I walked to the outdoor area, but there were no tables available. I asked a random man if I could sit with him and luckily he gave me permission to. There were high top and standard tables out there. Unfortunately for me, the one I could sit at was a high top. The seat of the chairs looked like wicker, or something similar, but had no padding. They had plenty of TVs, so you could watch at any angle. There was no shade from the sun for the high tops, but there were a few large umbrellas for the standard tables. There were also no patio heaters available when it got chilly at night. I had to walk to the bar and ask for a menu. It was decent, but the selection was not as good as Twin Peaks, and nowhere near as many options as Yard House. I ordered chicken tenders and fries. They were delivered fairly quickly despite the place being so packed. The chicken tenders were flaky, crispy, and flavorful-- not like the ones you usually get at restaurants. The fries were okay. The ranch and blue cheese were good. The beer selection was lackluster. I asked for a cider, but the only thing they had available was Angry Orchard. The service was practically nonexistent. I had to wait at the bar and get their attention if I wanted to order, get a refill, or have the table cleared. The bartenders were friendly, though. The only waiters I saw were there to pass out jello shots and the servers seemed to prioritize the standard tables and indoor seating. Once the game started, there were so many people standing around the bar. People were constantly bumping into our table trying to get around those at the bar. The TV was super loud and located directly over my chair. We asked if they could turn the volume down, but they did not. When I went inside to use the restroom, there was puke at the entrance and paper towels scattered all over the floor. Luckily, the stalls were still stocked with toilet paper, but there was water everywhere. First impression of this place was terrible. I would not recommend coming here to watch the Super Bowl. Were the staff friendly and patient? Yes. Were the customers a vibe? Yes. Would I come back and try again on a regular game day? Maybe.

    Living in Natomas,we forever had a local place we would watch UFC pay-per-view events.I would say around summer of last year i wanted to try out a new spot to watch UFC,so I decided to go downtown to DoCo and watch UFC at Tom's Watch Bar. So far I'd say I watched 3 or 4 events there and I can honestly say that my experiences there have been great-all of them. First off the environment for these UFC nights are always electric-tons of people,mostly people in age ranges between 20-40 but there are a few old heads like myself there as well checking out the fights.Most of the event nights I attended I showed up right as the main event was beginning so I'd say 90-95% of the tables were occupied.Ive been very lucky though every time because a very helpful hostess always found a great spot for my wife and I to enjoy the fights. We generally have stuck to beers on fight nights and they range from around $9-$11 for a 16 ounce and from $12-$14 for 23 ounce beer-pretty normal prices for the area. As far as food on all our visits the only thing we have ever gotten was the Ahi TunaTower($16.49).This is a favorite of ours-perfect food to munch on while in a festive mood-it's my Go-To food item here.I do see people ordering so many delicious looking items from burgers to nachos to various sandwiches and it all looks great,but I've only had the Ahi Tuna Tower. I know back in the day there used to be a $10 admission fee to get in here on UFC nights but they must've scrapped that because I've never had to pay anything since I started going there again for UFC. Parking is plentiful in the area with various street parking and the DoCo underground garage available,which does come with validation from Tom's if I remember correctly. Now I know recently UFC has changed their model a bit and their PPV events won't be as hard to watch,that being said,do I still think it's worth going out to a place like Toms to watch these events?YES YES YES!!!...There is nothing like watching UFC in an electric environment like Tom's provides,so I do see myself going forward still heading downtown to watch future events at my new favorite downtown spot-Tom's Watch Bar-I will see you there.

    Poke bowl
    Duane R.

    We went to Tom's after going to the Women's NCAA game. Great vibe and they had several giveaways. Good spot postgame to hang with the crew. My poke bowl on the other hand was pretty underwhelming. The rice was supposed to be crispy and just seemed dry. The poke was not seasoned at all. It wasn't terrible but I definitely wished I'd went with another meal choice. The service was great (even though the place was packed) and the place had great energy.

    Spicy margarita and chicken nachos

    This place has the best spicy margaritas!! like the best! I didn't expect the nachos to taste so good but it was great! It was the right portion for three of us Service was great and the margaritas was even better.

    Beef Dip
    Lucira I.

    Kinda mah ‍ Beef Dip was freakin amazing, beer was cold! However, spent the whole time there trying to kill/swat the gnats away! Wayyyy too many for a restaurant.

    Chicken nachos
    Phil M.

    1ST NIGHT - Love this place. Been to the 1 in San Diego too. Easy vibe. Nice service. Wasn't too busy since it was a Tuesday. Food was good, as always. Had the chicken nachos. I'll be back for sure! UPDATED - came again the following night because I had such a good experience the night before. Service was still extremely good. Thank you Zaria, and David (last night), you both were great! BUT, the food the 2nd night wasn't nearly as good. Chicken on my chicken sandwich was cold. Almost no fries came with it. Almost the opposite experience tonight vs last night as far as the food goes. But again, Zaria and David were great servers, not their fault. Food though - big difference from 1 night to the next.

    Deep dish nachos
    Skyeler F.

    My sister worked with Ricardo Aidan and Zaria to get a birthday party planned at Tom's Watch Bar to celebrate her husband. They were all thorough to ensure the event went on without a hitch. I am so impressed with the amazing level of service we received. The serving staff was phenomenal. Especially tonight as Tom's Watch Bar hosted the Canelo vs Crawford fight and there was a concert at the Golden 1 Center. The place was packed wall to wall and the staff gave my large group so much attention and ensured all our drinks came out promptly and food was correct, hot and fresh. The manager Will was walking around greeting customers. We ordered as a table lots of appetizers. The deep dish nachos, spinach artichoke dip, wings, pan seared potstickers and lots of drinks. All the food was fantastic and came out perfect. I will def be planning to come out again with a large group. The whole vibe is upbeat, has good music, a million tvs and great staff. Even though there was a lot of people here Tom's Watch Bar definitely had enough staff working to make sure it was a great place to enjoy a party, and fight night. Also parking was convenient. We parked at the DOCO lot and it was super close to the restaurant.

    Party starter
    Celina V.

    Went to Tom's before an A's game. Servers were friendly and attentive. Surprisingly the food and drinks came out quick too! Great spot to watch a game with friends! Lots of screens. The chicken sandwiches and nachos were delish! We also got the party starters with sugar free Red Bull. The hostess even offered us free vouchers for a ride to the game with Capital TukTuk. Had a great experience!

Great sauce. The meat itself was really flavorful. My onion rings were crunchy and not greasy. Loved them. Alot of people around me went with the wings and those looked and smelled really good. Spirits were high as the #1 pick came in. Of course the Raiders chose Fernando Mendoza, our quarterback of the future! Lots of Raider fans in attendance made the place pop with excitement.

The drinks and the food were good and the arrive was good too. The seating area is very spacious and plenty of places to enjoy your libations.

The pancakes came with strawberry and pineapple fruit topping, coconut shavings, and caramelized condensed milk syrup. The pancakes were chewy and soft and not too sweet and had good ube flavor. My fellow elite Yelp friend ordered the matcha waffles which was a large portion but she said the waffles lacked strong matcha flavor. I looked at the rest of their menu and wanted to try their savory Filipino dishes such as the loco moco. Overall, the ube pancakes are delicious and such a great deal!
