Derby Café

Was doing a tour at Churchill Downs yesterday and stopped in for a drink after the tour. Johnny is an awesome bartender, he was nice enough to take a picture of me and husband.
Cheers to Johnny, he des a raise and I hope his foot gets better!!

We stopped in for lunch between tours at Churchill Downs. The grilled cheese and tomato basil soup were darn good considering there were snow flurries in late March. We enjoyed our day at the track and a great lunch helped.

Our bartender, Jimmy Bourbon was the NICEST!!! He was such a great bartender. He made us feel very welcomed. The drinks were phenomenal! He definitely made our experience at the Kentucky Derby museum 10000000/10!!! Great guy! Thanks Jimmy!

Our group visited the Derby Museum and enjoyed lunch at the Derby Cafe after. The food was delicious. The salad, pulled pork, hot brown casserole, derby pie, and roasted vegetables were just perfect. Everyone in the group raved about the food.

Visiting Churchill Downs from NJ and had my first bourbon drink, prepared by Johnny Bourbon. Enjoyed my mint julep immensely but have to say, my husband's
"perfect" old fashioned was to die for. Johnny was personable, knowledgeable and the highlight of our tour. One of the best bartenders we've yet to know; wished we lived closer to enjoy his
company more often. Thank you, Johnny!

Love the hot brown panini and the Kentucky stew.

WOW!!! What a great lunch! Food is great. Calvin is not only a fantastic waiter, but a man to put a smile on your face. What a great representative for not only Churchill Downs but for Louisville Kentucky!!!

I had a turkey club and a mint julep. Both were delicious.

Best Hot Brown sandwiches south of the Ohio River! The staff was wonderful and accommodating. 100% recommend for lunch after a museum/tour visit.

On its way to being the 5 stars of my pick in Louisville! Every thing from food, service, and atmosphere! Don't forget the check! My pick to make a return! Impressed!!! Enjoy!!!

Outstanding place for a business lunch or an intimate meal. Great food and marvelous service, nestled amidst the backdrop of one of the most famous racetracks in America.

Sat down to try out pudding and pie and wee a loved them. We took three to go. Awesome

Good food, quaint. Excellent bourbon bar, get to keep the glass as a keepsake.
