Tom's Watch Bar - Sacramento

We were looking for something that open a little later since we got into town later, and the food looked pretty good. Our waitress was amazing and so kind. The fryer was out but we had the poke nachos and they were really good. Definitely a sports bar, it had so many tvs

I found this place on Google and saw the food pics and was really looking forward to trying their prime rib sandwich. I was seated right away and the server came to us a little bit after and told me there was a limited menu because their fryers were down and had been down for a couple weeks. So unfortunately, I did not get to try the thing I wanted. I got the carne asada nachos and pot stickers, which were both just ok. Not even ok if you consider the price for them. I ordered one of their specialty old fashioned drinks and they didn't even have oranges and told me after they brought the drink. The drink was $29. I honestly wanted a discount on my drink because I'm paying $29 for a drink and they didn't even make it like they were supposed to. I really didn't feel like asking because something like that should just be noticed and addressed without me having to ask. The server disappeared for quite awhile and we were ready to go. Again, the three items I tried were overpriced, and having a limited menu really killed our experience. We ended up leaving and going to Sauced nearby where they had full menus and even more reasonable prices for what you got.

We came in on a Sunday morning. Although the place was packed we got seated right away. Juaqin our server was very attentive to our table. He was very friendly and welcoming. Gave us a lot of recommendations on food and drinks. Checked on us every so often to see if we needed anything else. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks Juaqin for giving us a good experience.

We had such a great experience thanks to Natalee! From the moment we sat down, she was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. She had great menu recommendations, kept our drinks topped off without us ever having to ask, and managed to stay upbeat and personable even with how busy the place was. It’s rare to find someone who balances efficiency with such great energy, but Natalee nailed it. She made our visit feel effortless and enjoyable — exactly what you want when you’re out to relax and watch a game. Tom’s Watch Bar is lucky to have her! We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be asking for Natalee again.

I had such a pleasant experience at Tom’s. Natalie’s service was exceptional. She brought me extra queso which I appreciated more than anyone could ever know. My Moscow mule was delectable. My tacos were devoured. Atmosphere was lively. I could not have picked a better place to go before heading to the Kings Game. Ten stars out of five. ⭐️x10

Bella is absolutely amazing! From the moment I sat down, she made me feel welcome and taken care of. She’s not only skilled behind the bar, but her energy, warmth, and attentiveness truly set her apart. You can tell she loves what she does, and it shows in every drink she makes and every conversation she has. If you’re lucky enough to catch her behind the bar, you’re in for a great experience. Do yourself a favor—visit Bella and make sure to tip her well. She deserves it!

If you have a big group of friends, definitely check this spot out! A large group of girls and I went to Tom’s Watch Bar to enjoy their fun lively atmosphere! 10/10 service, thank you Naty for all your hard work and support! This is prime location, in the heart of DOCO - perfect spot before any Kings Game or Golden1 concerts! Again, I want to give Naty a huge shoutout for kicking our girls night out off to a great start! She was quick, personable, and very sweet! Thank you!

Prime rib sandwich was the best I’ve had. The shrimp and lobster tacos were 🔥 If you luck and get David as your server you’re winning!!!!

The food was absolutely delicious!! Our server Vonni was so kind, quick, & attentive.. she definitely made our experience worth coming back!

Ali was amazing! Great server and took great care of us! Will be coming back just for her!

We recently went to a kings game on a Monday, and wanted to get a drink before heading into the stadium. Toms is right next to the entrance, and have both outside and inside seating. The inside was packed. So we opted to sit at the outside bar. There were plenty of seats at the bar, as well as tables on the outside. The only downside was there wasn't any heaters, but if you get seated from inside and sit outside, those tables do have heaters. They have all the liquor choices outside but only two beers on tap. I believe you can also order food, but we only ordered drinks. Overall loved the outside bar and it will definitely be our go to spot before a game!

Title: Worst Sports Bar Experience Ever -- Unreal! I travel all over the U.S. and abroad for work, and I've had everything from unforgettable meals to absolute disasters -- but this place? Hands down one of the worst experiences ever. Monday Night Football at a sports bar, and they had no clue how to manage the rush. Drinks came late, food orders were never entered, no check-ins -- nothing. The only reason they even noticed us was because of the look on our faces. They finally rush the food out, and it's wrong -- plus, they still forgot our buffalo wings. We asked five times, "Please make them extra well-done and crispy," and even had them write it down. When they finally arrived, they were rubbery and gross. The manager -- "Mr. I-Never-Went-to-Culinary-School" himself -- came over and said, "Well, I told them to leave them on another four minutes." Seriously? Two beers. Two French dips. One order of wings. $225. Absolutely pathetic service and zero accountability. I've got 5,000,000 followers across my social media, and this will be shared -- videos and all. You should be ashamed of how this place is run, Tom.

Parking was a nightmare. There was a concert nearby, and parking in the area cost $20+ -- only after checkout did our server mention they validate only for the parking structure, not for meters (where we parked). When we arrived, our server was on break, so another team member took our order but never brought the drinks. I eventually had to go to the bar to grab them myself. When we ordered a second round, same thing -- drinks left at the bar for us to retrieve. We decided to order dinner, but the food didn't match the menu description and had to be remade. Later, I ordered a Bloody Mary, and a Mojito showed up instead. To top it off, our server returned to say she was leaving for the night and asked us to cash out -- and it was only halftime of the game we came to watch. There were some attempts by staff to help, but overall, the experience felt disorganized and inattentive. Maybe just an off night, but not one I'd rush to repeat.

Great venue to watch any sports events and food was really good. Had the prime rib sandwich. One of the best I've had and highly recommend Service was slow tho. We were sitting in the main areas and after 10mins I had to go to the bar and request a menu and a server to take our order

My buddy and I came here for the first time before the Kings - Hawks game. The location can't be beat. The atmosphere is party like with hip hop music and plenty of TV screens to watch sports events. The waitress was super friendly. The prices were very reasonable. I really liked my prime rib sandwich with havarti cheese. The meat was perfectly medium rare. My loaded tots were savory as well. Highly recommend and I look forward to coming back!

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.

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!

Perfect place to eat after the King's game. The carne asada tacos were delicious. They don't taste like the traditional street tacos, but still flavorful. The mac n cheese was good but kinda tasted like Velveeta. I recommend the watermelon margarita. The service was great as well. Overall we had a great experience.

I've been to Toms a few times and the food, drinks and atmosphere has never disappointed! The customer service is always on point. Everyone is always attentive and quick! I tried the Birria Tacos last night and they were delicious!!

Why 4 stars? Because it was a convenient, late-night option. --- --- --- After leaving an A's game starving, and walking back to our hotel downtown, I poured over the dining options, but Tom's was truly the best one. We walked right past it on our way to the stadium, it was open late and had a huge menu. Plus, there were sports playing on the 100 TV's inside and wasn't very crowded. Win, win, win, win. I had just eaten at my first Tom's Watch Bar a few months earlier in Houston and my experience this time was pretty similar with the food: good, not great. I had the prime rib sandwich in Houston, so I opted to try the burger this time around and found it to be of similar, 4-star quality. Our server was great (her name escapes me), and we enjoyed some great conversation with new friends here, so the vibes were strong and the memories fond.

The day went, their kitchen is "broken." No fryer working and not serving any real dishes... We stayed anyways and had some decent loaded nachos. Need to come back when they are "fixed".

Was so good had to come back again! Always friendly staff, great service, fun ambiance! Was so darn good, had to come back again this week for the NEW Half Rack of Ribs and Mac and Chz !!!! Straight FIRE

Cool vibe, but not worth it on event nights Tom's Watch Bar definitely has a cool setup. With the TVs everywhere, it makes it a fun place to catch a game or meet up with friends. My group and I stopped by before the Disturbed concert at Golden 1 Center next door. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the atmosphere. The place was way too crowded when we went. It was so hot inside, it felt like the A/C just couldn't keep up. Sitting outside with the misters probably would've been the better move. Because it was packed, the service was very slow, like VERY SLOW. we waited quite a while for everything. They have a solid drink and beer selection, but the food left a lot to be desired. We tried the nachos, burgers, Jamaican wings, and dill pickle battered chicken tenders. Everyone in our group agreed the food was just okay. I was especially disappointed with the chicken tenders. 3 out of 5 were more batter than chicken, which was a letdown. Overall, I wouldn't recommend going here when there's a concert or game at Golden 1. It seems like the staff just can't keep up with the crowd. Maybe it's better on a regular night, but as far as pre-event spots go, this one didn't hit the mark.

Service: nice Food: terrible!!! Nachos were cold not good!!! Burger greasy sloppy not good Drinks: I like this spicy jalapeño margarita, but it was not strong and had way too much ice. The regular strawberry margarita was also OK but had too much ice and wasn't strong. For a 14.99 and 12.99 drink I expect to have a little buzz Whoever was cooking on Friday night was rushing and serving very cold and sloppy food I was highly disappointed because I've come here before and the food was good but this time it was horrible. Please take your time when making food and don't serve customers sloppy food especially for the price point 80 something $ total waste of money!!! And there's no excuse because it wasn't busy there were barely any customers so it's not like they were swamped or super busy, which makes it even worse. There was no reason why the food should've come out that way.

First time visiting Tom's Watch Bar in Sacramento and it was a fun experience. The place has a lively atmosphere with plenty of TVs showing different games. We sat outside and got to watch football and baseball at the same time, which was great. The service was really good and our server was attentive to everything we needed. We only ordered drinks and an appetizer this time. The deep dish nachos looked good but barely had any meat, it felt more like a garnish than a topping. Overall, it's a great spot to hang out and watch sports, and I'd come back to try something else on the menu.

Tom's is a great place to watch any sporting event! It is a mix between a sports bar and a nightclub. It can get very loud in the restaurant, so if you're looking for something intimate or a place to hold a quiet conversation, this is not your place. Once you adapt to the loud environment and you flag down your waiter or waitress, you won't be disappointed by the food. The food is really good! The French dip is in a league of its own. Fantastic!! My husband loves their wings and my little man loves their Mac and cheese with bacon. Although the wait staff is very friendly and nice, I'm giving 4 stars because of the spotty service. If it were simply based off of food, 5 stars for sure!

Everything about my experience at Tom's Watch bar was amazing. The atmosphere, the food, our server...top tier. Shout out to Lizzy. They've got 50 million screens which you would expect with plenty of sports to watch. The menu has tons to choose from: your classic American offerings. I got the jerk wings and that flavor was unmatched. Def would go back to explore the menu.

We were really disappointed in our experience here. It was very busy, so we were trying to give the benefit of the doubt. We were seated right away and our server took our drink orders and food order. What she didn't tell us is that there was happy hour going on all day. Had we known that, we would've gotten a few different items and not spent $15 on one drink that didn't even look as advertised. We received our food and the Prime Rib Dip was amazing. The wings were soggy and the fries which we were told were "seasoned" were plain fries - no seasoning, nothing on them. We had to ask 2 different times for plates to split our food. The waitress never came back to us after we asked for a plate (which we never got!) We ended up just asking for our check from someone else. I'm sure we might give the place another chance if we see a King's game again, it just left a bad taste after this.

It was my very first time dining at Tom's watch bar. We attended a high school graduation and immediately walked over to Tom's to enjoy a late dinner. Our server was so awesome definitely great customer service we were a party of 10 and they were able to accommodate us. The venue is a fun place with plenty of TV bar and lots of great music playing in the background. Our food came out fairly quickly and everything was delicious. I highly recommend coming to Tom's when you have the opportunity to be in the area.

On my most recent visit, I stopped in with a colleague who was helping me out with an event in the area. We visited around 3pm and sat ourselves at the bar. I think that experiences will definitely vary depending on the time of day and what's going on, especially because they are a watch bar and show a lot of games. However, at 3pm on a Thursday it was very quiet and the bartender was able to help us right away. Their specialty cocktails are always a good choice and my go-to here is the Gin and Juice, which is listed first on the menu. The food here is also really good and there are a lot of shareable items. I would say it's definitely a step up from the typical sports bar food and there are options for everyone. My favorites is the Tom's Prime Rib Dip, they do a great job with this classic sandwich. On it's own the sandwich is flavorful, cheesy and not dry like I've noticed at some places where I've ordered it. The demi-glace they give you is a perfect compliment to the flavors but you could enjoy this sandwich without the dip easy (but why wouldn't you dip it). The restaurant is spacious and can easily host large groups. They have TVs everywhere and you'll definitely be able to catch whatever game you're looking to watch. If you don't like crowds you'll want to stay away from their busier nights, but if you come off peak hours like we did you'll have no issues.

Honestly worst dining experience I've had in years Server was nice, but the kitchen had broken hold so they had a "reduced menu," which is fine, but would have been nice to have been told that before sitting and ordering. The food was terrible - cold ribs, undercooked rice, Mac and cheese had almost not cheese, and horribly long wait times. On top of that, they add a service fee they don't tell you about and I had to ask for my receipt. Save your money, don't go here. Also, a ton of TVs are broken.

This is a nice spot to watch sports in DOCO. They have many TVs And you can see them anywhere you sit. There is outside seating and inside seating, you need to wait to be seated. Lots of good American food on the menu and a full bar.

Great location. A ton of TV's. Nice and attentive staff. All of our meals were go especially the prime rib dip. It was so good that we walked out and forgot the leftovers.

First time in to watch a fight & Kings v. Utah game was on so was able to watch both at the same time. Awesome place. Love the vibe. Staff is super friendly & checked on us many times. Food was good. The chicken nachos was the best & had to order 2. Calamari was good but nachos was my favorite. The cheesecake was so good. Also, enjoyed a 40oz of the NEW BELGIUM VOODOO RANGER IPA 7.5%. It comes in a cool mug size with handles on both sides. The view is amazing as well. Will definitely be back

Visited Sunday 4/13/25 around Noon. The place wasn't full when we arrived. There were plenty of tables and room at the bar. Apparently there is a front door, that you can walk into and they will seat you and give you menus. We accidently walked in the side door and seated ourselves and went to the bar and ordered drinks. The bar was quick. We ordered a Bloody Mary, unfortunately it didn't come with the usual garnish of a stick of celery, lemon wedge, and an olive. After we got our drinks we were approached by a server who gave us a food menu and introduced herself. This is different then the reviews I read soon as it opened. The reviews I read said that all food had to be ordered at the bar and it alluded to no table service. From our experience there is table service and it's really good. They come around often and check on you. There were 2 local games going on at the time of our visit. The kings and A's were both playing at home. The giants were also playing and so were the Warriors. So there was full house of locals watching local games. We did have to ask them to put the A's on and they did it pretty quickly and put it on 3 screens so we didn't have to move tables. The table you get may not be focused on the game you want to see so you have the option of moving to another open table. We saw one couple do that. We had good seats. We could see the Kings game on the big screen, the A's on 2 screens, the Giants, and the Warriors. We ordered the humas appetizer. It came with celery and carrot sticks and pita triangles. The red pepper humas was better than the plain humas. We finished it up. It had great flavor. I was afraid there wasn't going to be enough dippers, but there was plenty for the pepper humas. There wasn't enough for both humas kinds. We were full so we didn't inquire about getting more dippers. Overall it was a good experience and I'd go back. We'll walk in the front door next time and get seated properly. We will need to be aware of the tv location and the games to make sure we are seated in front of the game we want to see. They had sound on for the Kings game which was appropriate. I read many reviews before coming so I read that the food is really good here. I look forward to my next visit and trying some more of there food offerings. Parking- there is a little street parking, but mostly it's garage. They do validate with is nice.

Would anyone drive 2.5+ hours (sitting in 1 hour of traffic) going over 2 bridges while dealing with the occasional ridiculously reckless uber competitive autobahn reject swerving thru slow traffic just to try a prime rib dip sandwich? actually, hell to the no but thats what I was hoping would be available as it had been getting hyped up and hoping I'd be rewarded for traveling so far for a concert at Golden 1 Arena, a stone's throw away. and what I was greeted with as I arrived was a warning from the host that a good majority of the menu items including that tantalizingly delectable dippable sammich would NOT be available due to some issues in the kitchen with their ovens/stoves/some BS. strike one. you can't be serious...especially on a night with a major event bringing in the crowds next door. I don't like giving bad reviews, much less ONE STAR reviews...but I'm not going to be dishonest and shun my own disappointment when a place gets raved about and writing all this is my form of recompense for this ignominious experience, after spending all that time in traffic just to be unceremoniously friendzoned by a popular sports bar. persistent gnats seemed to be having a field day at the part of the bar where I sat (strike two) and while kept busy swatting them away, I noticed that even the silverware appear filthy with what looked like a heavy film/residue of...something (strike three). in an attempt to order something that didn't require their use, I chose the carne asada nachos, which were just another letdown in that they weren't worth the menu price for barely seasoned meat, a scant amount of sour cream and guacamole to offset the heat from all the jalapeño slices with NO salsa or pico de gallo. strike freakin FOUR. the only positive aspects were that the bartenders seemed friendly and that there were numerous screens for all the games going on. but if I'm ever back in this area for either a Kings game or another live music performance next door, I'll definitely be avoiding this place.

This is a good place to watch games if you're in the area. The bar is right next to Golden 1 arena and if its basketball season, be sure to plan ahead especially if the Sac Kings are playing @ home. The drink menu is plentiful including a nice selection on mock-tails. The food menu seemed a bit pricey for average bar food. The service staff here on this day was good! All the staff members I encountered were very friendly. Patio seating is a plus if you enjoy people watching. Even better when the weather permits.

Today I went to Tom's to watch UFC and Soccer with my family. My son ordered a screwball and as you can see in my picture there was a fly in the drink and the glass was dirty. I of course brought it to their attention and they brought out another drink but do you think they did anything more than that. Nope! It's disappointing that they actually served this out to a customer. I had the crispy chicken club which was fine I mean I've had better but it was fine. The waitress was attentive it was just disappointing and I really hope the bar area pays more attention to what they are serving to their customers. This location is in a very popular area and making sure they serve drinks that are clean should be important!

Natalie was a great server! Gave me many recommendations & had a positive attitude about it! Will definitely ask for her again!

I've been a few times each time they actually get better and better! It can get loud because of the games so i typically go during the day. Bartenders are always super friendly and fast! Food wise I love the pot stickers, pickle brined chicken, and the loaded tots are my friends go to. Drink wise the wine list is surprisingly great! And cocktail wise I always get the gin and juice (they use elderflower and that's my favorite) I also love the lavender lemon drop!

Today my brother and I ventured downtown for a little late lunch. While Toms was not where we originally had planned to go we are definitely glad our original plans didn't work out. We were seated by the hostess and that's when we met our amazing informational helpful waiter Nagee. Being our first time there we asked what were the most popular drinks and food and also what his favorites were. He recommended the club crispy chicken sandwich for my brother and chicken adobe nachos for myself as well as the watermelon margarita and peach bourbon. Everything was delicious food was great drinks even better and all while being able to catch some college football and Kings basketball. Restaurant was clean and even with lots of excitement with sports on wasn't too chaotic. Thank you Nagee for the great lunch experience and we will be back for some Sunday football and Kings games Nachos were so good they got devoured before a picture

Great recommendation! We went on a non-game night and it was a cool vibe. Service was on point - food was good. We had the prime rib French dip with tots (you have to have the tots, right?) we'll be back!

We ordered 3 items. Mediterranean salad and prime, rib dip, and a Poké bowl. The poke bowl we had to send back. Served poke with cold rice and rice clumpy. The prime rib dip soagy. I can understand how they have 4.9 stars. Would never return for the food. The bar is nice and has lots of TVs.

Came to Tom's for an event & Nat was our wonderful server! Drinks were great & came out quickly. Will be back again sometime.

Came here to eat before the Janet Jackson concert at Golden 1, so of course it was really busy. Despite the busyness, our waitress was attentive and nice. Our food also didn't take long to come out. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip and the prime rib sandwich to share. Both were pretty good and would return to try other things.

Food is low level McDonalds . Burger is $19 and doesn't have anything but pickles mustard and ketsup. It is so loud inside . They don't bane root beer which was random. Poke nachos are on super salty chips.

Natiee was an amazing server, she recommended awesome apps and our prime dip was out of this world!!

Great service! Elle was an amazing server! Great atmosphere! Great food! 100/10! I will be back for sure!

When visiting this sports bar, you'll find TVs at every angle with all kinds of sports channels playing everywhere. We came here for a group happy hour. The food was good and always on point. There wasn't much on the happy hour menu for alcohol, but that's okay because we were with work friends. We had a big group with us and their plus-ones. We ordered everything on the happy hour menu for appetizers. I could tell the server was still inexperienced. We had to ask him for some small plates and extra things to help us get settled in for dining. Drinks kept coming. Everyone kept ordering drinks like beer, so that part of the service was good. I felt like the bar was really slow, though, and could improve. There were about 10 groups dining at the time, and I felt like pouring beer shouldn't take that long. All in all, we had a good time. I would recommend coming here if you want casual dining and a place to chill. This place is good for that.

They have a lot of TVs and actually play sound to the games. Great environment a true sports bar. Great food for the money. Definitely try the ribs on point. Two thumbs up.

Zaria made our experience at Tom's! When we arrived, she was the only server on the floor and the restaurant was about 40-50% full. Despite that, she immediately acknowledged us, apologized for any delay, brought our waters, and took our order promptly. The wait wasn't long, but I appreciated that she noticed and cared. The food was typical sports bar fare--decent, but nothing to write home about. The atmosphere, however, was excellent! TVs everywhere so we didn't miss a play, and a lively, upbeat crowd. Once a few more staff arrived, we really got the full "Zaria experience." She's an absolute delight--friendly, attentive, and brings such a positive energy. I wish we could bring her back to Los Angeles with us--customer service there could use more people like her!

Came here for a business meeting with about 8 people. Over all the food was incredible. Everything was fresh despite the place not having many people. The service was great. The only thing is, the food took a bit of time to come but that's not always controllable. The restaurant itself had a lot of space to it and was very clean! Would absolutely come here again!

Great place to watch a game. They had a burger special in the burger was really good. I was not let down. I will be back.

A lot of TVs, great food, friendly wait staff. Enjoyed our time there. Great experience.

On a short trip up to SAC we decided to stop by and watch the end of the dodgers game on a Wednesday night. The place was pretty empty but I can see it being packed on a game day. The food was great which included the nachos with birria , the spicy chicken, birria tacos, and prime rib dip. They have a great selections of beers and some fun cocktails. They will also put on whatever game you can think of on. Service was friendly. Definitely a bar style restaurant with tons of seating and TVs.

We had to wait to be seat for about 15/20 minutes. We got seated stepped away to use restroom and our table got taken, so we sat at the bar asked the bartender about some drinks and she recommended this drink and when I got my receipt I was shocked it was $28. I definitely didn't want to order anything else.

I went to this location last night with my boyfriend and uncle. It was slow for a Thursday evening. So we decided to walk in and try grabbing some drinks. My boyfriend first ordered 2 shots as I tried to find a table to sit at near the bar only for him to call me over to tell me that they were card only. Which I didn't mind but the bartender "Jazzmin H." Was really rude, then gave her my card and she then laid my card back on the counter slightly aggressive and irritated with the receipts to sign with quite an attitude.... And for that I walked off and said we were leaving. I PERSONALLY DONT UNDERSTAND how anyone can work in customer service with a terrible vibe but hey that's for management to fix! Won't be coming back here again, thanks JAZZMIN!
