Tom's Watch Bar - Indianapolis

Restaurant Review: A Memorable First Visit I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant for the first time, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed, particularly by the staff. Our bartender, Katie, stood out with her exceptional service. She was not only attentive but also incredibly polite, making sure our drinks were always full and engaging with our group in a way that created a lively and welcoming atmosphere. It was evident that she cared about the guests, as she actively interacted with everyone around us—her efforts truly set the bar high for hospitality. Adding to the positive experience was Mickey, who introduced himself as the manager. He made several rounds to check on us, displaying a level of professionalism that is often hard to find. It's refreshing to see a management style that emphasizes customer engagement and satisfaction. As a restaurant owner myself, I genuinely recognize the value of having dedicated and personable staff like Katie and Mickey. Their approach not only enhances the dining experience but also reflects a well-run establishment focused on its patrons. I would happily welcome either of them into my own team. I look forward to returning and seeing how the rest of the menu and staff live up to this high standard—definitely a place worth visiting again!

The atmosphere is awesome! Our server Liz was amazing. She chatted with us, shared all her suggestions on the menu and we told her we were from out of town and she suggested places to visit in town and the area. She was really sweet with my kids too!! Highly recommend, food is great and lots of sports Tv!! We happen to be here for the NBA Draft which made it even better!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tom’s Lunch Bar is an absolute neighborhood gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a warm, buzzing atmosphere that strikes the perfect balance between friendly local hangout and chef-driven café. The staff is incredibly attentive and genuinely enthusiastic—always ready to chat about the daily specials or brew you the perfect cup of coffee. I tried their signature avocado toast and it completely blew me away—creamy ripe avocado smashed to perfection, served on beautifully toasted artisanal bread with just the right hint of spice and citrus. Seriously, the flavors were so fresh and vibrant they might as well have been picked that morning. Their breakfast burrito is another standout: chock-full of farm-fresh eggs, savory bacon, tender potatoes, and melted cheese, all wrapped up in a house-made tortilla. It hit all the right notes—comforting, hearty, and flavor-packed. Tom’s also excels with its rotating seasonal smoothie bowls—bright, colorful, and healthy as heck, ideal for breakfast or a light lunch. And yes, the presentation is Instagram-worthy, but more importantly, each bite tastes as good as it looks. The vibe is relaxed, inclusive, and welcoming whether you’re fueling up for the day, meeting a friend, or working solo with a laptop. Plus, the communal tables create a fun, lively environment. Prices are reasonable for the quality, ambiance, and freshness they deliver. Overall, Tom’s Lunch Bar offers an outstanding blend of top-notch food, friendly service, and inviting ambiance. If you’re in the neighborhood and looking for a delicious start—or midday refresh—to your day, this place is a must-visit. Highly, highly recommended!

Great place for the biggest sport fans ! TVs all over the place with very possible game going that day ! Jamaican jerky wings were awesome ! Just the right kind of kick ! Everything was wicked expensive but you get what you pay for ! Drinks were nice and strong our bad tender was nice .

How does a sports bar in a WNBA city not have other WNBA games available to watch? The hostest was warm, welcoming, and helpful. We chose to sit at the bar as we had planned on watching the Dallas vs. Chicago game after attending an afternoon game at Gainbridge. Service was slower than expected (yes, Im from New York), and I know things are done differently from our fast-paced way of things. However, not making eye contact with a new guest or acknowledging someone when they arrive is simply poor customer service. Then, clearing 2-3 bar spaces (on a slow Wednesday night) before taking our drink order was just a bad decision. The manager was also behind the bar at the time we were there. Our food was lackluster and highly over seasoned. We also ordered a starter. The starter came out with our meal. I would not return to this establishment in the future upon a visit for another WNBA game.

Went here for the first time, everything was good had a watermelon margarita and the chicken nachos were . Courtney was our server and she was so sweet made sure we had everything we needed kept our drinks were full. I will definitely be returning!!

Our server Ashley was amazing, very kind, and attentive to our needs. The food was very tasty and flavorful!!!! If you’re reallly craving a beer I suggest the 40oz! It’s a unique twist for the Tom’s watch bar
