Last year’s Derby Day? A total photo finish kind of party. 🐎💃🌞
We packed the house and the patio with a crowd that came to slay in hats and sip bourbon in style. The energy was electric as everyone rooted for their favorite horses and entered our raffle for a chance to win Five Points gift cards. And get this — the Irish Cultural Center’s 50/50 raffle crushed records, giving away nearly $1,000 to one lucky winner! Proceeds from the raffle helped support incredible cultural programming at the ICC, including music, art, and film events throughout the year.
Check out a few snapshots from last year below and get ready to join us again for another unforgettable Derby Day!
Spring Has Officially Sprung
—and we’re raising a glass (or six) to it. From fruity fizzes to creamy comfort, our April cocktail lineup is the perfect excuse to sip, savor, and shake off the winter blues.
🍸 Blueberry Gin & Tonic
A refreshing twist on the classic—fresh muddled blueberries meet the botanical beauty of The Botanist Gin, topped with crisp tonic and finished with a bright lime wedge. It’s like your favorite spring walk… but with gin.
🍾 Raspberry Peach Mimosa
Brunch called—it’s jealous. A juicy duet of Raspberry and Peach WesternSon vodkas gets topped with bubbly Champagne for a fruity fizz that tastes like sunshine in a glass.
🍋 Lemon Blueberry Margarita
A zesty, berry-kissed shake-up! We muddle fresh lemon and blueberries, add a double pour of Citron Vodka, and splash in our specialty lemonade. It’s sweet, tart, and totally irresistible—basically spring break for your taste buds.
☕ Guinness Espresso Martini
This one’s got a brogue and a buzz. Guinness and vanilla vodka cozy up with coffee, Kahlua, chocolate bitters, and a good shake. It’s bold, creamy, and guaranteed to charm your socks off.
🥶 Iced Irish Coffee
Barry’s Irish Cream and cold coffee over ice, topped with a cloud of whipped cream. It’s like an Irish hug… but caffeinated and chilled.
🖤 Wicked Berry White Russian
This creamy dream stirs up vanilla vodka, Chambord, and milk for a wickedly smooth, slightly tart twist on the classic. One sip and you’ll be thinking, “Why haven’t I had this before?”
