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.

Race Details

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.

Where to Watch the Kentucky Derby in Miami

• 75+ TVs across indoor and outdoor areas, every screen on the Derby coverage
• Large projector for the call to the post and the run down the stretch
• Sound on the main feed for the race call
• Mint juleps available for Derby weekend, full bar with signature cocktails and craft beer
• One of the largest covered patios in Wynwood, Saturday-evening energy

The room builds through the Derby Day undercard, the patio fills for the late-afternoon stakes, and the energy peaks for the call to the post on the Run for the Roses. Easy walk back to anywhere in Wynwood once the garland of roses is draped at the wire.

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 Miami 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.

Came here to watch the France versus Spain game during the World Cup. Overall, the place is great. I ordered one round of drinks and a couple of appetizers. Specifically, we ordered the cheese sticks, steak tacos and chicken wings. The cheese sticks and the steak tacos were delicious. The chicken wings were not my favorite. We had two different flavors. Garlic Parmesan and lemon pepper. The best flavor with lemon pepper. The cheese sticks sauce was a guava sauce that was very delicious.
