CINCINNATI (WKRC) – Tom’s Watch Bar has announced a new lease agreement with the Cincinnati Reds to open a location near Great American Ball Park.
The new venue on Joe Nuxhall Way will feature over 8,000 square feet of space, including indoor and outdoor seating, and a 360-degree viewing experience with more than 75 screens. The grand opening is set for the end of September 2025, with additional renovations planned for 2026.
The Tom’s Watch Bar location is the former Nation Kitchen & Bar space, located inside the BetMGM Sportsbook.
“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, in a media release.
Tom’s Watch Bar has recently expanded to Phoenix, San Diego, and Seattle, and plans to open its first Milwaukee location in 2025. The brand aims to open eight to 10 additional locations by the end of 2026 in key sports-driven markets nationwide.
