Tom's Watch Bar - Minneapolis

Me and friends went in to watch the UFC fights. We ordered appetizers. 1 loaded Fries. 1 loaded tots. 1 spinach artichoke. Waiter came wit the loaded fries…we looked at the plate, it only had about 6 fries on the worlds smallest plate. He brings the tots, and dip and they were on ok dishes. Then I ask the waiter why are the fries so little, he responds “that’s on me, I put it as a side of fries” I asked well how much is that and can we you know, get the appetizer…he continues to say “well it’s 10 dollars for the side and if I order the appetizer it’ll be 14 bucks added to the bill..I said you know what, don’t worry about it. So we bit the bullet and just ate the 6 fries. I’ll post the plate comparison. This post is to advise those who order these to not even waste your time. 10 dollars as a “side” is crazy work.

The service was good, and the staff were friendly. The food, however, wasn’t the best. We ordered the baked buffalo chicken pasta; the chicken was good, the pasta was soaked in the white sauce and wasn’t baked well. The fish and chips were okay. They also charge a 4% service fee, which is not considered a tip.

If you’re looking for an upscale sports bar that checks every box, this is the place. The moment you walk in, the massive, beautifully lit bar grabs your attention — plenty of space, great energy, and a top-tier drink selection. TVs are everywhere, so no matter where you sit, you’ve got a perfect view of the game. Wife and I got a couple of appetizers before a wedding. Decided to go with the potstickers and fried pickles. The golf simulator is an awesome bonus and makes the place stand out from your typical sports bar. Whether you’re here with friends or just grabbing a drink solo, the whole vibe is classy but still fun and relaxed. Highly recommend stopping in — this spot nails it.
