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 Belmont is the grand finale of the Triple Crown and a true test of endurance and strategy. Normally, it is a longer race by a significant margin, coming in at a mile and a half, but this year, due to renovations at Belmont Park, it is being held at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York, which is roughly the same distance as the Kentucky Derby.
Still, coming off just a week or two of rest since the Preakness Stakes, it is still a relentless gauntlet for most participants, and more often than not, the winner of the Belmont is the horse that has best managed to recover in time. It’s a fascinating race to watch with every camp’s strategy shift and change in real time to make the last mad dash for glory. If you’ve never seen it before, trust us on this - it is one of the most engaging and tense races of the calendar year, and one that will be talked about for quite a while after it’s done.
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.
