Kentucky Derby Bash at the Round Robin Bar

The Willard InterContinental's historic Round Robin Bar will once again host an “Afternoon at the Races” at the annual Bonnets and Bow-Ties Kentucky Derby Party. Join the fun Saturday May 3, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m, at the Round Robin Bar and view the "fastest two minutes in American sports”.

Maker's Mark Distillery joins the Round Robin Bar in celebrating this great American tradition with a live telecast from Churchill Downs of the 134th Kentucky Derby. Bar patrons who wish to view the Derby and boast their best bonnet and most bodacious bowtie are eligible to win grand prizes when they register at the door. The $49 entry fee includes: 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 134th Kentucky Derby glassware.

The Kentucky Derby will be viewed on television screens at the race time, which is scheduled to begin at 6:05 p.m.
