Derby

"Derby is a very sporty place to have a meal—it doubles as a car club (as evidenced by the back room full of expensive automobiles). The menu has semi-upscale gastropub-style things, like poutine with smoked brisket and red eye gravy, Italian dishes like burrata and fresh pasta, and one of the city's best BLT. Plenty of booths make this a great spot for a group." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"Derby is a car club that also happens to serve good food. You do need to be a member of the car club to valet your Porsche in the adjoining showroom or use the private game room, but anyone can order a round of beers and some classy pub food in the restaurant. Get the smoked brisket poutine, or the BLT stuffed with avocado and some very serious candied bacon." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"Sodo Station Just a brisk five-minute walk around the corner from the Sodo station is Derby, a restaurant/car club hybrid smack in the middle of an otherwise very quiet, industrial-looking neighborhood. You need to be a member of the car club to valet-park your Porsche in the adjoining showroom or use the private game room - but anyone, Porsche owner or not, can order a round of beers and some elevated pub food in the restaurant. Get some smoked brisket poutine with red eye gravy, or a BLT sandwich with avocado, extremely thick candied bacon, and garlic aioli." - aimee rizzo

"Derby is an upscale sports bar inside The Shop, which is a place of worship for car and motorcycle enthusiasts. In other words, this restaurant respects the fact that you drove here. Park in the lot, step inside, and check out the room full of Porsches that aren’t yours. Then, eat some brisket poutine, BLTs, and soft pretzels without worrying about paying the meter." - Aimee Rizzo
