you bring the flowers and we'll bring the food!
The Triple Crown Races are among the most prestigious and anticipated of the entire racing season. Consisting of the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes, these American thoroughbred races are held in quick succession between May and June.
As you might imagine, seating for these events fills up fast, but we do encourage you to get in touch if you are keen to join us on any of these days. After all, outside of buying a plane ticket and booking a hotel, the Derby is the best place to watch and wager on the Triple Crown Races!
Trackside
Come join us every Thursday this Summer from 3-6 PM for Trackside at Twilight, where we offer live music, a special happy-hour menu, and seating in our beautiful garden patio. If you’ve been waiting for an event that’s a little bit cooler, a little bit calmer, and with special items and pricing exclusive to the event, then this is it. Trackside at Twilight is one of our most popular events of the year, and if you’ve never been, you won’t want to miss it. Visit us every Thursday to see what summer at the Derby has in store.
If you are looking for an easy and affordable Friday night experience, let us formally invite you to Flight Night at the Derby Bar and Grill! At this weekly event, and only for $29, you receive four 3-ounce cocktail / mocktail racers for your flight. Once they are set at the starting gate, along with your choice of a delicious appetizer, the race is on.
Will you take it slow, enjoying each drink as it comes, or will you sample the field, watching as they jockey for position as the race unfolds? Which of these talented and boozy racers will make the grade and be sought after next week? There’s only one way to find out, and that’s at the Derby Bar and Grill on Friday Flight Nights!
If you’re looking for a window into the life of the horsey set, then look no further than Wednesday nights at the Derby. On Wednesdays, we encourage our patrons to take a step out of the stands and up into the owner’s box with an evening of wine, fine dining, and sophisticated wagering.
With a trained sommelier guiding your meal, we offer a unique experience designed to delight the senses and take you and your party by the hand to a bygone age. Whether you are gathering with friends to gossip about the latest scandal on the track, predicting the next Triple Crown winner with other enthusiasts, or simply looking to enjoy a quiet evening with a beguiling suitor, Wednesday nights are for you.
Each meal involves a curated choice of two red and two white wine tasters, along with a garden salad and a gourmet pasta, and at only $39, it’s the perfect way to enjoy the perks of the ‘Set’ without having to buy a horse.
Every Saturday from 8 AM to 4 PM, it’s Race Day at the Derby! During this weekly event, we turn our focus back to the noble sport that gave us our name and the sea of friendly faces who make up the local racing enthusiasts. With good food, drinks, camaraderie, and the thrill of the final stretch - this is the perfect event for those who think a day at the races should be a weekly occurrence.
If that sounds like you, be sure to get here early because seating fills up very quickly. As an additional word of caution on these days, it tends to get a bit raucous as the action heats up, so if you’re looking for a quiet meal on a Saturday afternoon, we recommend our incredible dinner options.
