Ready, set, sip! Step into Miss Nellie’s Open Bar Kentucky Derby Party, where cocktails pour with race-day urgency and the spread is as indulgent as the showstopping hats at Churchill Downs. The celebration kicks off at 4:00pm on Saturday May 2, 2026, promising a soirée steeped in Southern charm & mint julep-fueled decadence.
Grab your $39 GA Ticket (an $88 value) that gets you admission to this superb soirée, complete with access to a 3 Hour Open Bar serving Elijah Craig Cocktails such as Mint Juleps, Old Fashioneds, and Manhattans, as well as Wines & Beers from 4:00pm until 7:00pm, as well as 1 Hour of Passed Appetizers served from 4:00pm until 5:00pm.
Inside, you’ll be surrounded by vintage elegance and a delightfully nostalgic atmosphere, setting the tone for a lineup of timeless sips. Think crisp, classic Elijah Craig Mint Juleps & Manhattans, wines, beer, and the like as Chef David Coleman delivers bites designed to match the moment, with fare such as Croquettes, Pigs ‘N Blankets, Endive Cups, Eggplant Bites, and then some.
Naturally, the fashion stakes are just as high as the race itself. The Best Dressed Contest invites bold expression, whether that means dramatic hats, standout seersucker, or impeccably tailored looks, with a $300 gift card to sister bar Bar Lola awaiting the winner. Add in a live band, a photo station, and a screening of the big race, and you’ve got all the makings of a proper Derby affair.
By the time the final horse crosses the finish line, one thing’s certain: glass in hand, you’ll feel like you’ve already won...
Gallop into Southern charm with a Manhattan kick at Miss Nellie’s Kentucky Derby Party, where every detail is off to the races. This glittering hideaway in Hell’s Kitchen, courtesy of the team behind PMac’s Hospitality Group (Dutch Fred’s, Tanner Smith’s, Haswell Greens), tips its hat to the fearless Nellie Bly, whose record-breaking dash around the globe makes her the ultimate namesake for a day built on speed, spectacle, and a little high-society swagger.
At the starting post of Derby Day, it’s all about dressing to impress, fascinators perched & bow ties primed as you trot into an afternoon fueled by juleps and jubilation. The open bar runs like a well-bred thoroughbred, pouring Elijah Craig cocktails alongside wines and brews that keep spirits high and glasses raised from first call to final furlong.
The scene is a photo finish of vintage glamour and playful flair. As the 152nd Kentucky Derby streams live, settle into plush velvet booths amid gilded touches and that electric NYC buzz. Think equal parts old-world elegance and modern-day mischief. It’s a winning ticket for anyone who loves a little tradition with their trackside thrills.
And when you’re not strutting your stuff for Best Dressed & vying for top honors in hats that truly go the distance, make a pit stop for bites by Chef David Coleman. Go for treasures such as Croquettes, Pigs ‘N Blankets, Endive Cups, and Eggplant Bites, keeping you fueled and ready to race through the festivities.
Capture the vibes at the photo station, dance to the sounds of a live band, and consider this a winner of a Saturday...
