Dogwood Room
Named for the native Kentucky flowering Dogwood tree found throughout Keeneland’s park-like grounds, the Dogwood Room offers guests a welcoming space that reflects the elegance and charm of its surroundings. Located on the second floor of the new Paddock Building, this spacious venue overlooks the Saddling Paddock, providing an ideal vantage point. The room features buffet-style dining, blending tradition with comfort for a memorable race day.
Lexington/Kentucky Room
Located on the fourth floor overlooking the scenic Keeneland track, the Lexington/Kentucky Room is an exceptional dining option for a day at the races! Tables seat 6 or 4, where guests can enjoy a deluxe lunch buffet and cocktails. Guests can come and go from the reserved table throughout the day to watch horses in the paddock or the races on the track apron!
Phoenix Room
The Phoenix Room overlooks the Paddock. Guests can come and go from this room, and the tables are reserved for the entire day. Place bets from the private tellers in the dining room, then watch the races from the fourth floor balcony or track apron!
Loge Box
Enjoy the thrills of race day at Keeneland from a Loge Box, designed for groups who want to enjoy the races together in a lively outdoor setting.
Reserved Grandstand Seating
Watch the races outside in individual seats within the Grandstand, under cover from the elements.
