If you're a lover of horse racing (if you haven't noticed, we are), you'll know that Saturday marks the most one of the most important days in Thoroughbred racing, the Kentucky Derby. Saturday, celebrate the Run for the Roses at the Willard Intercontinental's Round Robin Bar with a "Bonnets and Bow-Ties Kentucky Derby Party."
For $75 per person, guests can enjoy a southern-style buffet featuring country baked ham with baby soft rolls, Kentucky coleslaw and potato salad, a display of international cheeses and Derby pies, including a thematic variation on the pecan pie with a healthy measure of Maker’s Mark and two of the bar’s famous Henry Clay Southern-Style Mint Juleps served up by the Round Robin Bar's master mixologist, Jim Hewes and his team. Each drink is individually handcrafted and served in the official keepsake 136th Kentucky Derby glassware.
Reservations can be made here.
