Be a Good Sport
All the sports. All the time. That's the slogan of a new bar opening at the Banks.
Tom’s Watch Bar, 175 Joe Nuxhall Way, bills itself as the ultimate destination for live sports and entertainment.
“At Tom’s Watch Bar, we want fans to feel like they have a front row seat to their favorite sports, as close to the action as possible – with or without a ticket to the game,” said Brooks Schaden, co-founder and co-CEO of Tom’s Watch Bar. “Cincinnati has a fantastic sports community, and we’re excited to partner with the Reds to offer a destination where fans can celebrate every home run during baseball season and every touchdown for the Bengal’s, while enjoying elevated food and drinks in a fun, high-energy setting.”
Tom’s Watch Bar entered a multi-year marketing partnership with the Reds to further enhance the guest experience and property activation. This deal comes as the brand continues to strategically expand into major sports markets across the U.S.
The new venue occupies more than 8,000 sq. ft., with indoor and outdoor seating to accommodate fans on game days and beyond. The space features Tom’s signature 360-degree viewing experience with more than 75 screens to capture the excitement of game day.
The brand has also partnered with BetMGM at The Banks location to further enhance the fan experience.
“We are thrilled to team up with Tom’s Watch Bar, alongside BetMGM, on this exciting new venture located right across from Great American Ball Park,” said Doug Healy, chief operating officer and chief financial officer of the Cincinnati Reds. “Their innovative approach will allow us to extend our game-day energy beyond the ballpark before and after games and offer all of Cincinnati’s passionate fans a year-round destination to connect in person and enjoy an unparalleled sports viewing experience.”
Founded in 2014, Tom’s plans to open an additional 10 to 12 locations in the next 18 months. Tom’s defines the ultimate sports-watching entertainment experience with cutting-edge AV technology, wall-to-wall screens, and a menu that balances craveable classics with elevated offerings.
