Tom Walker's was a drinking establishment in Stars Landing, the civilian settlement area on Vanguard. Tom Walker's remained open 24 hours a day, in order to accommodate the round-the-clock duty schedules of Vanguard Station's Starfleet personnel. (VAN novel: Harbinger) As officers tended to prefer rival establishment Manón's, Tom Walker's tended to attract more enlisted crewmen. (VAN novel: Reap the Whirlwind) Civilians such as Cervantes Quinn were also regular patrons. (VAN novel: Harbinger)

Tom Walker's was run by Tom Walker and an associate, Allie. (VAN novels: Summon the Thunder, Open Secrets)
