Tom's Watch Bar

The Rockies' official pregame bar at McGregor Square, screens on every wall.

Tom's Watch Bar is the anchor tenant of McGregor Square, the Rockies-built block directly south of Coors Field, and it opened with the development in 2021. It is a national sports-bar chain designed for watch parties: a 360-degree wall of screens, a long central bar, stadium-style food, and a plaza outside with a giant LED board for away games and Avalanche playoff runs. It is loud and corporate and exactly what a pre-game bar next to a ballpark should be. Weekdays it does not open until 4pm.

Why go. Watching an away game or killing the hour before the gates open, with a beer in hand.

On home-game days it hits capacity well before first pitch; get there two hours early or come after the seventh inning.
