James Beard Award2022
From the OpenTable editors: Owner Alba Huerta has racked up accolades—including a James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar Program—for her top-notch cocktails incorporating unusual ingredients like marigold leaves. Sip them in an airy, floral-strewn parlor that also serves up an elegant menu of seasonal small plates like Gulf Coast oysters and tomato “caviar” with watermelon.

$15.00 per person
Prepaid
May 3, 2025 only1:00 PMGet down and derby with us for our 10th Annual Kentucky Derby Day Party on Saturday, May 3rd! We’re pulling out all the stops for a full day of Southern charm, bold cocktails, and the best lawn party in town. Whether you're here for the big hats or the big bets, our celebration is all about style, tradition, and good times. The party kicks off at 1pm and we’re serving up ice-cold Mint Juleps, chilled bottles of Champagne, expertly crafted cocktails, and delicious bites all day long. Dance to a live DJ set from DJ Freddy B, enjoy live music from Clutch City Band, and catch every moment of the “most exciting two minutes in sports” with a live stream of the Kentucky Derby race. We’re thrilled to welcome back 1502 & Sterne Fine Cigar Company, who will be onsite offering premium cigars to complete your Derby experience. Our goal every year? To throw the most epic lawn party Houston has ever seen—and this year, we're going bigger than ever. We’re transforming our space into a floral wonderland with over 5,000 fresh-cut flowers and full tenting, so the celebration goes on rain or shine. We’ll have two full-service bars, a hydration station, so there’s something for everyone—whatever your mood or preference. Don your boldest hat, your sharpest suit, and get ready for a day of timeless tradition, great company, and unforgettable fun. We can’t wait to celebrate a decade of Derby with you! Tickets are for entrance only. Must be 21+. Please Drink Responsibly.
