Skip the shoulder-to-shoulder crowds and hang out just one block from the race at Market & 10th Street with multiple TVs showing the race, morning happy hour specials, costumes, people watching, and a place to recharge in the middle of the madness.

If you’ve ever tried squeezing through the crowds at Market Street at 8am while someone in a banana costume spills a mimosa on you… you already know.

HAPPY HOUR ALL MORNING!

  • $10 Mimosa Specials
