The Red Derby provides a cozy and LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere, featuring a heated and covered rooftop bar. This bar offers a wide selection of beers and ciders, as well as unique drinks like a non-alcoholic, zero calorie sparkling water with hop flavor. The bartenders are noted for being super friendly and welcoming, contributing to the great vibes. Guests can enjoy games like scrabble and trivia in the corner, along with a nice back room for private events. The venue also has a small outdoor covered patio and a downstairs inside bar.
While the cocktails have received high praise, especially a jelly-like drink from a can that some say tastes like melted Skittles, food options are also available. The appetizers, including the recommended Mac n cheese bites, are considered pretty good. Although there have been comments on improving the flavor and moisture levels of the veggie burger, the overall experience at Red Derby is enjoyable. With a good atmosphere, affordable prices, and plenty of seating for larger groups, it remains a great choice for food and drinks.
