The Kentucky Derby isn’t just a horse race: it’s the longest-running sporting event in U.S. history. A Southern tradition that’s been bringing people together since 1875, the Derby combines history, hospitality, and celebration in one event. If you want to join in the fun, you don’t have to drive to Louisville! A memorable Derby Day experience is waiting for you at one of the standout restaurants McMinnville Tennessee locals already love.

When it comes to drinks, there’s a big difference between one that is simply made versus one that is thoughtfully created. At the Local on Morford, our approach to craft cocktails is rooted in the same principles that define the rest of our menu: freshness, balance, and elevation.

If you’ve recently looked at a drink menu and wondered, “What is a craft cocktail?” You’re not alone. The word “craft” gets thrown around a lot these days, from coffee to cocktails. But behind this buzzword is a simple mindset: a little more care, and a lot more flavor.
