"Tom’s Watch Bar in Chinatown, D.C., offers an immersive sports-watching experience with Old Bay shrimp, two-pound portions of wings, and icy drafts served in huge steins. The venue features three central oversized “stadium” screens surrounded by 120 high-definition screens for 360-degree viewing. The 6,500-square-foot venue is located at 781 Seventh Street NW, reactivating the former home of Circa. Menu highlights include spinach and artichoke dip, mac and cheese topped with butter-poached lobster and shrimp, Asian seared salmon salad, Angus beef cheeseburger on a brioche bun, and shaved prime rib dip with garlic fries or tots. A unique Old Bay shrimp basket is available. Wings can be upgraded to two-pound portions for $12 extra, and other options include a sushi-grade ahi tuna tower, tacos, and a “colossal” cheesecake. Dozens of taps pour a mix of domestic, Mexican-heavy imports, local, and seasonal beers in 40-ounce stein glasses. The popular “Party Starter” cocktail is a double dose of Tom’s ‘Rita with hibiscus and Red Bull. The D.C. edition caters to local teams such as the Capitals and Wizards, with TV time reserved for U.S. sports, UFC fights, and European soccer matches. An algorithm decides what to air, and a personalized app allows customers to hear play-by-play action. The bar collaborates with Topgolf, offering a swing suite simulator for virtual play. Tom’s Watch Bar also accommodates venue buyouts, private events, and alumni association watch parties." - Tierney Plumb

Omg! I hope you tried their Green Tea Signature Shot! Amazing food and service. Had a wonderful opportunity to meet Tom Ryan, the owner, and hear about his journey. Love how passionate he is about food, elevating dishes, and having fun! It shows in the menu and each dish. He's fascinated (and serious) about how food and flavors work, how they pair well or don't, and how ingredients can add some magic to a dish. Portions are big and sharable, so a perfect place to hang out after work with colleagues or with friends (not just on a game day). I love quality food, a good atmosphere, and friendly service; this is the place! I wish they have more golf simulators.

Tom’s Watch Bar has come to DC and has settled in nicely right next door to the Capitol One arena in Chinatown. The restaurant meets classic sports bar vibes with an elevated menu that appeals to the taste of today’s foodie. I treated to almost everything on the menu. However, my favorite dish, hands down was the Tom’s Famous Prime Rib Beef. The combination of the prime rib, cheese and horseradish with the dipping sauce was exactly what I needed to soak up the many margaritas that I had. After eating all that food, I was grateful that there was a Top Golf simulator that helped burn off some calories.

I went to Tom’s right before I wizards game. To be 100% honest my group actually tried to go to Yard House and Clydes and they were both full. Lucky for us Tom’s had space. The food was pretty good except for the loaded fries they felt very underwhelming. The nachos were probably the best dish we got. Our waiter was good. Very thorough. I think this place as a little to expensive but maybe I just missed happy hour. All in all my group enjoyed our experience. I was waiting for the wizards game to start playing on one of the TVs to signal out time to leave but they didn’t show it.

Visited Tom’s Watch Bar for their Friends and Family opening. The service was top notch: friendly, attentive, personable. Food menu was reduced. Wings were large and quite tasty. Shrimp was okay, nothing special. The tv sports viewing options were amazing. I will go back.

It’s our first time here at Tom’s Watch Bar. The atmosphere and crowd are amazing. We were there to watch WWE with kiddos and made it more exciting. Our waitress, Nigah was amazing from beginning to end. She gave us full summaries of the menus and recommendations.

This bar was a great stop on our way to grab food in Chinatown! The atmosphere was sports friendly with open seating. I absolutely loved the Lavender Lemon Drop drink. It was superb! The fried pickles were also delicious and well fried. I would love to return to try the Ahi Tuna tower and more of those Lavender cocktails.

Recently some friends and I stopped in for some food before a show. The food, service and atmosphere was amazing! Cam (our server) was on point. He went above and beyond to make our experience memorable and enjoyable. We will be stopping back by anytime we are close in big part to his exceptional service. Great experience highly recommended.
