Tom's Watch Bar Local Pick

The Write-Up

The full story

A sports bar built like a stadium on International Drive, with an oversized stadium screen and wall-to-wall screens wrapping the room, so every seat faces the action. The rooftop Sky Bar puts the skyline behind the game, and the menu goes past the usual playbook with Tom's prime rib dip, Korean BBQ wings and deep-dish nachos. Prices run arena-level, and event nights can add parking and entry fees, so check the event calendar before you go.
