tiffany • April 6, 2025

Mark your calendars - COASTAL Beach Bar is turning up the Southern charm with a Kentucky Derby Viewing Party you won’t want to miss. Join us Saturday, May 3 from 3 PM to 6 PM for an afternoon of coastal elegance, crafted cocktails, and classic Derby fun - all set against the backdrop of the Gulf.

This isn’t your average watch party. We’re blending the sophistication of Churchill Downs with the laid-back luxury of the beach. Whether you're a lifelong racing fan or just in it for the fashion and flavors, this event has something for everyone.

On the Menu
Our chefs are serving an exclusive Derby Day menu filled with rich Southern flavors and crowd favorites, including:

Stout Cheese Dip
Pimento Cheese Melt
Kentucky Hot Brown
Bourbon Pecan Pie

And of course, the bar will be pouring handcrafted cocktails worthy of the winner’s circle. Think refreshing Mint Juleps, bold Kentucky Mules, and the smooth, citrusy Woodford Spire.

Hat Contest & Prizes
Bring your best Derby look - there’s more than just bragging rights on the line. Our hat and style contest will reward the day’s most dapper and creative:

Exacta (Best Derby Hat - Male): Full day pontoon boat rental from Flora-Bama Marina
Superfecta (Best Duo Outfit): $300 COASTAL Orange Beach Gift Card
Trifecta (Best Derby Hat - Female): $300 Gift Card from The Orange Beach Store

Whether you're dressing to impress or just soaking it all in, it's an afternoon of style, flavor, and fun on the beach.

No reservations needed - just show up, show out, and soak in the Derby spirit, COASTAL style.
