Kentucky Derby Watch Party
No cover Walk-ins welcome No dress code

The Kentucky Derby is the Run for the Roses, the fastest two minutes in sports, and the one Saturday a year when the entire country stops to watch a horse race. The Twin Spires of Churchill Downs, the bugler calling the field to the post, 20 three-year-olds breaking from the gate, and a mint julep in hand. The first leg of the Triple Crown carries a $5 million purse, the garland of roses, and a ticket to the Preakness in two weeks.

Storylines to track at the gate: the morning-line favorite coming out of the Florida Derby and Arkansas Derby preps, the post-position draw (inside posts get pinned on the rail, far outside posts run too wide into the first turn), and the trainer rivalries that define the modern Derby. Bob Baffert and his Hall-of-Fame Churchill record, Brad Cox running deep with multiple shooters, Todd Pletcher chasing a third Derby, Chad Brown looking for his first. Watch jockey rides from Irad Ortiz Jr., Flavien Prat, and Joel Rosario. The Derby at 1 1/4 miles is a sit-and-kick race where the pace shape matters more than raw class and the long Churchill stretch decides who hits the wire first.

Saturday, May 1, 2027. Post time approximately 6:50 PM ET. The Kentucky Derby. Churchill Downs, Louisville, KY. 1 1/4 miles on dirt. Purse: $5 million. Meeting point: Grails Miami, Wynwood.

Detalles de la Carrera

El Kentucky Derby es la Carrera por las Rosas, los dos minutos más rápidos del deporte, y el sábado en que todo el país se detiene para ver una carrera de caballos. Las Torres Gemelas de Churchill Downs, el corneta llamando al campo a la salida, 20 caballos de tres años saliendo del gate, y un mint julep en la mano. La primera etapa de la Triple Corona reparte $5 millones, la guirnalda de rosas, y el boleto al Preakness en dos semanas.

Historias para seguir: el favorito de la línea matutina llegando desde el Florida Derby y el Arkansas Derby, el sorteo de posiciones de salida, y las rivalidades entre entrenadores. Bob Baffert con su récord histórico en Churchill, Brad Cox con varios candidatos, Todd Pletcher buscando su tercer Derby, Chad Brown buscando el primero. Atención a las montas de Irad Ortiz Jr., Flavien Prat y Joel Rosario. El Derby a 1 1/4 millas es una carrera de paciencia donde el ritmo temprano define la recta final y la larga recta de Churchill decide quién cruza la meta primero.

Sábado 1 de mayo, 2027. Hora aproximada de salida 6:50 PM ET. The Kentucky Derby. Churchill Downs, Louisville, KY. 1 1/4 millas en tierra. Premio: $5 millones. Punto de encuentro: Grails Miami, Wynwood.

What makes Grails different

Sneaker-themed bar interior at Grails Wynwood with rare sneakers on display

The World’s First Sneaker-Themed Restaurant & Bar

Hand-restored, well-known sneaker grails line our walls, collected from collaborations and drops throughout the last two decades. Our indoor lounge feels less like a sports bar and more like a sneakerhead’s dream living room, with red booths, ambient lighting, and a custom sneaker bar centerpiece.

Whether you’re a hypebeast, a casual collector, or just here for the wings, the indoor lounge is a vibe, and unlike any other sports bar in Miami.

The Covered “Miami Vice” Patio & The Yard

Spacious. Vibrant. Pure Miami. The covered Miami Vice patio seats up to 120 across multiple table configurations and has its own patio bar, with TVs angled for visibility from every seat. The Yard sits adjacent under a giant tent with a projector screen for the major game. Hookah service runs all evening on the patio.

The color palette pulls straight from Miami Vice: pinks, teals, neon accents. The patio walls flow with rotating mural work that fits Wynwood’s art-district vibe.

The Famous “Sneaker Cocktail”

Yes, you really do drink it from a Jordan-inspired sneaker. The Grails sneaker cocktail is our most-photographed creation, equal parts conversation piece and craft cocktail. It’s been featured in local press, racked up millions of Instagram impressions, and is now a Wynwood rite of passage.

Pair it with shareable dishes from the full menu or post up at the bar with a flight of hyper-local beer. There’s no other drink experience like it in Miami.

Not Your “Typical” Sports Bar

Award-winning craft cocktails. Hand-crafted shareable dishes. A bartender who actually remembers your name. Hyper-local beer on tap. 75+ TVs, two full bars, and three distinct seating areas, including a Wynwood-art-district patio. Group tables for 4 to 40+. Hookah on the patio. DJ-curated music.

This isn’t beer-and-wings-on-a-flat-screen. This is the Grails Experience. It’s why we’re consistently rated Miami’s #1 sports bar.

Best vibe in Wynwood. Showed up for a UFC fight and stayed for the food and the music. Sound on for the main card. Service was attentive even when packed.

Came for the World Cup, came back the next weekend for brunch. The patio is the move on Saturdays. Sunny, full of people watching their team, and the cocktails actually deliver.
