Dust off your seersucker suits, flowery dresses, over-the-top hats and eye-catching bowties and get ready for a socially distanced celebration.

SportClub, 750 N. Jefferson St., will be hosting a “Bubbles and Bowties” Kentucky Derby party on Saturday, May 1.

 

Ladies, show us what you got! We have stacks of cash and bar tabs for the most impressive, big ass hats of the day! Posted by SportClub on Thursday, April 22, 2021

 

The festivities kick off at 11 a.m. and include broadcasts of the 147th run of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, a live DJ and over $1,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded for best dressed, best bow tie, best mask, and biggest hat. 

Even with SportClub’s socially distanced quarters, guests will have access to great views of the Derby action thanks to 25 televisions inside and a large-screen view on the SportClub patio.

During the party, SportClub will also feature $7 mint juleps, $7 bloody marys with pony chasers, $17 bottomless mimosas (all day long) plus $30 bottles of Campo Viejo. SportClub’s full food menu will also be available.
