Tom's Watch Bar - Petco Park

This place is amazing! The service is great and it’s right by the ballpark. I came in because I know they carry Happy Dad here. They have fruit punch, grape and peach tea. I chose to drink peach tea and my server Jenny, recommended the cornbread pancake with chicken tenders, it was a great choice and delicious. I chose to sit outside it was nice and sunny, peaceful San Diego day right by Petco Park. The service is prompt, the food is delicious and price is decent 24 ounce can of Happy Dad only $8.49.that’s an amazing deal. I will return because I know the prime rib here that sandwich is top-notch. And the service and atmosphere is great!

This place was so fun! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles, sat at a table with a really good view of the backside of Padre Stadium, which was a plus. Kolten. (not sure if I spelled that correctly.) was our server and he was wonderful. I will say I am a little partial to the name as it is my own sons as well. He was knowledgeable, friendly fast and gave some great recommendations.. I’m not a lover of regular beer, typically and tend to go towards sour beers or cider, but unfortunately, they didn’t have any. When I asked him if there was anything that might be similar to a sour beer, he brought one for me to taste and it was pretty good so I opted for that. I appreciated that he made the effort. We also ordered nachos with chicken, which were huge thank goodness we didn’t order anything else. Again Kolten brought out an extra thing of queso just in case our chips didn’t have enough underneath all the toppings but honestly, I was impressed at how they were plated and why we did use a little bit of the extra queso. It really wasn’t needed. They were delicious. I was honestly surprised that there wasn’t more people in there, but it was a little later at night. It is a cashless bar so be aware of that. If you do come, there was plenty of paid parking spaces that we found along the way but again it was a night and it was a weekend with no game going on since the Padres were playing out of town. There were plenty of TVs to watch sports which my husband loves and I could people watch while I ate. We had a wonderful time. Prices were fair especially for portion sizes and for the service we received. I do it again thanks Kolten for an awesome night. Give that guy a raise.

This place has so much potential. It’s a great spot and some of the servers (David especially!) are fantastic - so attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. Others seem to be so focussed on protocol… telling us we couldn’t sit at a certain seat because we weren’t eating, despite there being no one here (only one table taken, leaving about 20 free!) and us assuring her we would be leaving in 45 minutes. A little bit more flexibility and logic and this place would be perfect, but I cannot fault the fantastic screens for watching sport and the atmosphere (watching the first USA soccer World Cup game).

Great place for food, lots of baseball fans, Gallagher square entrance a few feet away. Lots of promotions on game days. Cheese curds were excellent! Good portion size, appropriate pricing.

Honestly I wish this was a 5 star, I made VIP reservations for the watch party during the USA game. Our server Helena was great and the food was amazing. The only thing holding us back was have 20 people standing around us at their “standing bar” obstructing every tv view we had. Not to mention we left a little before halftime started to head into the stadium and saw what looked like a manager yelling at an employee out front which seemed very unprofessional. A little work with management and getting the bar under control would make this place well worth it.
