    Even though I'm not a sports fan, the staff and overall look of Tom's made the atmosphere full of very good energy! The tuna tower was better than I expected. The texture & layered flavors made me smile throughout. The prime rib dip was exactly how it should be: Savory. Only a couple bites of the strawberry cheesecake but that alone will bring me back again for more. Even the Shirley Temple tasted special. Topping it off was the very timely service. Our server, Rubi, was engaged & sweet. Her assistant Lee, was is & always will be awesome. The best. I have a feeling Tom's can survive downtown Minneapolis for quite awhile if they can keep that energy going. The food speaks for itself so give it a try.

    My wife and I were visiting Minneapolis for the weekend and decided to stop in at Tom’s. We were immediately greeted by their friendly staff and and a great atmosphere. Both Jay and Sebella were friendly and helpful and made our lunch a great experience. We were able to play on their simulator machine where we could golf, play hockey, football, and so much more. The food was amazing! The mac and cheese was some of the best we’ve had and their fried chicken was top notch! Next time we are back in town we will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend you check them out!

    There’s no other place in Minnesota, like Tom’s Watch Bar. The atmosphere on game day was electric and insanely fun. Having worked in the restaurant business for years, I appreciate how well thought out this place is. It was completely packed, yet we weren’t crammed in there, and it still felt comfortable. I would describe the food as “elevated sports bar” without all the fuss of a fancy restaurant. I’m still not sure how they have managed to curate all the best servers and bartenders in one place, especially during a global “labor shortage” 🧐 Ice Cold beverages & warm service make for the hottest and coolest place in town! Kudos to the entire team tv👏

    I really enjoyed my burger from here. However; it was very expensive and although it was delicious and a nice treat I definitely wouldn't be here regularly. They did have a wide variety of food on the menu, so that's a plus. I got take-out, and service was prompt and friendly. It was an average service. I was asked if I wanted water, and they did snag me one. The atmosphere is jumping in here, and triggering for someone in recovery. I thought about getting an alcoholic beverage, but I am a recovering addict. It's really fun if you don't have a srug/alcohol problem.

    Taya was amazing! Her personality and prompt service was what made our first time at Tom’s one to remember. She recommended a few amazing options that fit our taste palette. 10/10 server, and an even better experience!

    Amazing atmosphere.. a GREAT place to go watch games or fights.. Also has a sports simulation... The food was worth the price some of the best Nashville hot chicken tenders! An EXCELLENT Prime Rib sandwich!! Also the fried pickles were fried perfectly! The Bacon Mac and Cheese was one of the BEST Mac and Cheese! Also Thank you to Amanda one of the BEST Mangers I've come across in a long time!! Went back for another night.. Just another wonderful experience.. had the Cripsy Chicken and Cornbread pancake tonight and cheese curds, both were so good! Had an amazing waiter, Topher was one of the best waiters I've had before anyway.. He would check on us every so often and make sure things were okay! Also knew how to joke around which made the experience even better! Another thanks to Amanda and Jason BOTH are who you want as the face of your restaurant.. BOTH just amazing.. took time to chat with us and even were kind enough to take a picture! I'll be back! Thank you to everyone!

    Great experience, food was good, Services was great, plenty of TVs to watch multiple games at the same time. The overall experience was really good. Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area. Ali our server, even with the amount of people she was attending to, was on point with everything we ordered. 5☆+

    Arrived here on a Monday night and was quickly greeted by a hostess that got us seated right away. Server was at our table in no time and got our drink orders. I got an old fashion and it was just ok, but the 2nd was better. We started of with spinach artichoke dip and it did NOT disappoint. I got the Asian salmon salad with dressing on the side and it was phenomenal. I will definitely visit Tom's in the future as the service was very good and the food was fresh and the flavors were spot on.

    Cool looking place. Not the greatest food. One of the better sports bars in Minneapolis, but there's not much in the way of competition in or around the city. Was there to watch college football on a Saturday. It was very crowded and a little overpriced.

    Cody was our server. He was wonderful. We were in for the game and he took the time to go over the menu and drinks. The prime rib sandwich and loaded tarter tots were awesome!! But what I noticed was a customer in a wheelchair and how ALL the staff took great care in making sure everything was perfect The table was just right, his special drink glass was filled. In a world at times isn’t so caring. Matt’s Watch Bar has the most kindhearted, and compassionate staff!! Great food great people. Thank you Cody!!

    Went here for dinner with friends in town. Was able to get a table right away. The food was delicious! Must get the Tom’s Prime Rib dip sandwich, sensational! The drinks were good, the espresso martini was on par. Sasha was our waitress and she was friendly and got everything right. Definitely recommend checking this place out if in town or watching a sporting event!

    Great place to have drinks, apps, food, and take in a game if in Minneapolis. Fun atmosphere and many tvs to take in your favorite MN sports game. Our server Sabella was nice and treated us like royalty! Overall a must try if you are downtown.

    Dustin was hands down one of the best servers we’ve have had. He’s was extremely friendly and had such an awesome personality. This was our first time here and I would definitely come back.

    Exceptional Service from Kimmy at Tom's Watch Bar! I had the pleasure of visiting Tom's Watch Bar recently, and I must say that Kimmy's service was truly exceptional. Despite having a whopping 1000 customers to attend to, she made sure that I felt taken care of every time she walked past. Her dedication and attentiveness were truly remarkable. Kimmy's ability to handle such a large number of customers without being startled was impressive. It was evident that she possesses excellent multitasking skills and a genuine passion for providing top-notch service. Despite the bustling environment, she maintained a positive and friendly demeanor throughout my visit. One thing that stood out to me was Kimmy's ability to make each customer feel valued. Despite the busy atmosphere, she never made me feel rushed and always took the time to address any questions or concerns I had. Her attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile truly made my experience at Tom's Watch Bar memorable. If there's one suggestion I have, it would be to consider assigning more staff members to Kimmy's section to alleviate some of the workload. However, it's worth noting that even with the high volume of customers, Kimmy managed to provide exceptional service without missing a beat. Overall, my experience with Kimmy at Tom's Watch Bar was outstanding. Her friendly nature, attentiveness, and ability to handle a large customer base are truly commendable. I highly recommend visiting Tom's Watch Bar and experiencing Kimmy's exceptional service .

    The host (I think he said his name was James) greeted us so kindly and with a bunch of energy. After a long day at work, he really set the tone for my first experience at Tom's and it did not disappoint! Great spot in Minneapolis for watching any sporting event, great food and drinks!

    It's a vibe for games! Very packed for the timberwolves game. The prices are reasonable. The menu not too big.

    We stopped in to waste time before our flight. This has an ab amazing atmosphere, great place to watch the football games! Sasha was our server and she was very attentive, informative, and helped to send a drink to a tik tok'r my daughter follows. She went above and beyond!! Definitely worth a stop in

    Such a fun vibe! Came down here Saturday to watch the UFC fight and it did not disappoint! We sat a high top by the windows and loved the fact there isn’t a bad spot in this place! Sound was perfect. Our waiter TAY-TAY lol was phenomenal. She was always bubbly and frequent with no issues. We ordered the the Jamaican Jerk wings which were very saucy, good flavor just not as crispy as I hoped but still good! Also got the Tuna tower or whatever it was called. That was really good but def needed some crunch so we ordered a side of chips to dip into and it was really good! ( why it’s getting 4 stars for food) The DJ was very good between matches. I will def be back again! 🙌🙌

    Food: Hot & fresh. Super good. I’m not normally a fan of artichoke dip but that stuff hit the spot. Service: Timely and attentive but not overbearing. Atmosphere: Luckily it was a Monday so it wasn’t too crazy, but the seating is pretty tight. I imagine this place is crazy on a game day. Wish they had booths but it’s only high tables. Very good food— I’d definitely be back.

    The poke bowl was so good and the drinks were absolutely to die for. John and Tommy were the absolute best, they were so sweet and the most helpful. They told me their favorites on both the cocktail and the food menu (and they were all delicious). They made the ending of my trip so great, I will definitely be back to see them when i come back to Minneapolis!

    I’ve now been to Tom’s a few times and have had the best time! Cannot recommend it enough for Vikings games especially! While I have had nothing short of amazing experiences with the staff (food runners, manager, bartenders, etc) Taylor and Cody are the absolute best servers and if you ever go - ask for one of them!

  • 5/5 Jesse M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent experience with service, atmosphere and food was very good. They take bar food to the next level; Pickle brined crispy chicken fingers (with quality chicken breast) and fried pickles were amazing. Drinks are well priced for DT. Great energy from all staff. High quality TVs every where. We didn’t play virtual golf but it is a cool addition that we will be back for.
