Group Reservations In The Phoenix Dining Room

The Phoenix Room overlooks the walking ring where horses are mounted before entering to the track for the races. 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!

Group Reservation requests are accepted on February 1st and February 2nd. An online form will appear on this page at 9:00am on February 1st.

Group reservations are capped at 100 guests. If requesting more than one date, you will only be accepted for one date, if chosen.

There is no guarantee all requests will be filled due to limited availability.

Keeneland reserves the right to deny requests that are associated with scalpers.

Available Dates

Group Reservation Requests are not accepted for the Phoenix Dining Room on Fridays or Saturdays.
