Had a great time last week here. Food was good and our server Elizabeth Medina was quick with the drinks and food. I will most definitely be back her again for the Super Bowl!

Great spot to watch all the games! So many TVs and they pretty much have everything on. The nacho were tasty and a really big portion for $20. Beers from the tap were good, and white claws are a larger 19oz can. The skinny margaritas ended up ring $22 each because we subbed mescal. Be aware and ask if you change the liquor how much it will cost you.

When going to events at Staples Center (Yes I know its Crypto.com arena but I just cant call it that lol) this is usually our go to. I actually prefer Yard House which is in the same vicinity but its usually a way longer wait.You check in right in the front unless you want to try to find a bar seat. The wait has never been long and it helps that more restaurants are popping up so people have more options when dining before a game or concert.They serve basic bar food and a few other items. My go to is usually the All-American burger. Its pretty basic burger but its really good and hits the spot with a nice cold beer. We have also tried the Birria nachos which were pretty good and big enough to share. If you are a beer drinker they have a glass that is 40 oz that is pretty cool to take some picture opportunities. One is plenty enough for me. The wait staff has been hit and miss but it has never been horrible enough for me to complain.If you are coming to an event at any venue close by and the other places are too long of a wait I would say come check this place out.

Last month, I met up with some friends at Tom's Watch Bar in LA Live before the Buffalo Sabres/Los Angeles Kings hockey game at the Staples Center (or Crypto.com Arena). Even without reservations, we were seated promptly at a great table with an excellent view of the countless TVs displaying various sports games - definitely a sports fan's dream setup. The menu offered a wide variety of options, many of which caught my eye. However, the prices were a bit of a shocker and left my wallet feeling less enthusiastic. After some deliberation, I settled on the Tuna Poke. The flavors were fresh and well-balanced, and I enjoyed the dish overall, but the portion size left something to be desired, especially given the steep price tag.That said, the lively atmosphere and prime location make Tom's Watch Bar a convenient spot for pre-event gatherings. Just be prepared to pay a premium for the experience, which is likely par for the course in this area. While I'm not in a hurry to return, I wouldn't completely rule it out...especially if I'm meeting friends or catching a game. I guess overall it's a solid choice if you're looking for a place with good vibes and plenty of screens to keep you entertained.

Toms has been our to go spot when coming to a game or show at Crypto or neighboring theater. It's never as crowded and obnoxious as the other businesses around. The space is huge with its couple floors. Plenty of space and TVs for hundreds of people. Service is usually good. There have been a couple times we've had to repeatedly flag a server down because ours was nowhere to be found. Not sure if there is a lot of turnover but we've never seen the same servers twice. The food is decent for the price. Free queso and chips or some other appetizer if you are a rewards member. Great spot to catch the game or UFC fight if you don't want to be overcrowded or too much noise.

Great spot after a basketball game. It just to go see the game there. We ordered drinks and wings. They were delicious and the service was great. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The place is loud and busy, especially on game days.

Came out for a quick drink and apps with a friend. Beers on tap were crisp and fresh. Got some fries to snack on. They don't have thousand island so our AMAZING bartender Steph literally brought me ALL of their sauces to try. I was being extra picky but she brought me pickles on a plate, extra empty sauce cups, and I made my own right there at the bar top. It was a GREAT experience, my 2nd time here, Steph if you're reading this, YOURE THE BEST BARTENDER.

First time at the Bar to watch a UFC PPV event and food was pretty good I had the Bacon Avocado Burger and my girlfriend had the birria tacos with the consume. Our service was pretty good as well regardless of the busy environment because of the event so it was understandable but our server Justin/Elliot was checking on us constantly when he had time and made sure the food didnt take long. The ambient was good too so I would definitely stop by for drinks or dine in specially in a sports/event night.
