SARATOGA SPRINGS — The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has announced that it will unveil a new hospitality area for the 2022 summer meet as a part of a continuing series of capital improvements at Saratoga Race Course.
The Post Bar and Paddock Suite will be a new, permanent two-story structure that will replace and enhance the original Post Bar, a popular single-story, open air gathering spot for racing fans that had been located beneath a temporary canopy.
The newly renovated Post Bar will remain an open-air structure featuring a central bar and large-scale televisions. The Post Bar, one of the most popular destinations for fans at Saratoga, will continue to be accessible to all guests, ages 21 and over.
The second story Paddock Suite will feature a climate-controlled bar, lounge, and outdoor balcony with sweeping view of the historic Saratoga paddock where fans can watch the sport’s finest thoroughbreds parade beneath them. The Paddock Suite can accommodate as many as 80 guests and will be available to groups and individuals by reservation (subject to availability).
Rental packages will be sold to groups on a full or partial basis. Rental includes admission, choice of food platters, non-alcoholic beverages, coffee and tea, tax, gratuity, and race program. Open bar packages are also available for purchase.
