The Derby - Bar & Restaurant

The Derby is the oldest active restaurant and bar in the Poughkeepsie area serving new American cuisine.

The Derby’s menu offers a wide range of American cuisine including the best burger around, brick oven pizza, award winning chicken wings, fresh seafood, and fantastic steaks. We have awesome happy hours Monday through Friday from 5pm-7pm! We do half price beer, wine, and liquor and $5.00 delicious brick oven pizzas!

The Derby was established in 2005 under owner Jon Memmoli. The Derby in Poughkeepsie dates back to the early 1930s. The bar is the original, built by Brunswick in the early 1920’s, and it really sets the stage as you walk into the restaurant. The restaurant has been a landmark in Poughkeepsie for years and is a great destination for visitors.

Our restaurant seats up to 125 people and is great for private catering for any occasion! We also offer off-site catering whether it is a wedding, holiday party, or any special event!.

We want to be your “go to” restaurant and bar, and we look forward to seeing you at The Derby!
