Oak at the Iron Bell
Oaks at the Iron Bell
A Progressive Oaks Day Brunch Experience
10:30 AM – 2:30 PM: (Staggered arrival windows will be selected at registration)
Celebrate Kentucky Oaks Day in true Louisville style at The Iron Bell — an intimate, five-acre farm in eastern Jefferson County, home to a renovated Kentucky horse barn and a historic log cabin.
For Derby week, our grounds transform into a walk-and-mingle brunch experience designed for those who love exceptional food, beautiful surroundings, and dressing for the occasion.
Guests will move through five curated food and drink stations set throughout the cabin, barn, and porches. Each station will offer thoughtfully paired bites and beverages crafted by a private chef and bartenders.
From bright spring starters to bourbon-forward Southern classics and a sweet finish, the menu is the heart of this experience. Mocktail options will be available at every station, ensuring every guest is fully included in the celebration.
In addition to the progressive tasting experience, guests will enjoy:
• A styled photo wall for Oaks attire portraits
• Live music
• Oaks race media coverage streaming in the barn
• Time to gather, toast, and linger with friends
We invite you to come dressed in your Oaks best — hats, fascinators, florals, and all. This is the perfect event to attend with friends, celebrate tradition, and savor a uniquely Kentucky afternoon.
The Iron Bell is a gathering place we love deeply and are honored to share — and there is no better setting to celebrate Oaks Day than among the charm of a horse barn, the history of a log cabin, and the beauty of spring in bloom.
