X3 Flight Mimosa Options
The Derby Bar and Grill is the second-best place to experience the thrills of the Triple Crown, right behind trackside. With delicious food, cold drinks, and the whole BC horse racing community gathered together, these are our best events of the year, and we want to see you there!
The Preakness is the second race of the Triple Crown, taking place at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, and it is, in our opinion, the most exciting of the three. With the racers just a week off the Kentucky Derby, it is all or nothing, and the pressure could not be higher. It is one of the grittier and lower-to-the-ground races of the Triple Crown, and one that never fails to be surprising and spectacular.
The Belmont Stakes is typically the longest of the Triple Crown races, but this year, due to renovations at Belmont Park, it is technically the same length as the Kentucky Derby. Still, coming in at a mile and a half, the Saratoga Race Course is a relentless run for every participant, with a few coming off both the Derby and the Preakness, and for those, more often than not, the winner is the one who has best managed their resources up to this point. Watching strategies shift and adapt in real time at the end of two months of pandemonium never fails to make the Belmont a grand finale worthy of the Triple Crown Races, and it’s a day you won’t want to miss.
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’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.
