    FIRST TIMERS at the derby today!! We had winners circle tickets which included an AYCE brunch from…read more12-4. Pet me tell you it was a whole lot of food we could not try all. From your typical pancakes and waffles etc. to stuffed chicken with season rice and more. An array of desserts, salads and fruits. Drinks are reasonably priced averaging $9-$12. Service is decent considering size of venue. Regular drinks, sodas and teas were included for the $45 ticket. For some reason the races mostly started away from us which was a little disappointing but overall loved the experience. They also have a special area for kids on Sundays this month only $5 with face painting, play areas, petting zoo and more.

    Hidden gem in Houston - what a fun getaway from the city! Spent a couple of hours here on a…read moresurprise date. $7 for admission that I paid online in advance for ($14 for two people). Parking was plentiful since it was a huge lot. The venue itself is quite big - multiple floors and wide in length. There were lots of tables with individual monitors with horse races streaming from different regions of the U.S, along with lots of TVs by the food court area. Plenty of people just watching the different races streamed on the TV happily. Betting takes place on the kiosks spread throughout the building. There's a variety of methods to bet, but easily thing to do is take a picture of the screen and have ChatGPT explain it to you lol since it's a lot of information to digest if you're a first timer. Betting is minimum $2 to start. The nachos were cheap and filling - $10 for a spread shared among two people. Plenty of cheap food available. Now for the actual racing, there was a lot of seating (albeit, they were not labeled). We actually sat in the paid, reserved seating with the TV monitors (which was quite nice, since you could see the camera following the horses racing outside on the track up close), until we were kicked out since we could show the ticket narc our tickets. We relocated to a different seating area next to it, and again after a few rounds, we were ticket-checked again and had to move. Finally, we discovered the free seating, which is at the very end on the left side of the building, with the auditorium-like seats (furthest from the fancy restaurant they have). It wasn't terrible, and we spent most of the time at the paid seating anyways. Would recommend better signage because as newbies to the horse racing venue, we didn't know any better. A lot of friend groups, families, singles, all gathered to watch the horse racing, and TBH, I got pretty into it once I started betting (rabbit hole?), so it was quite fun. There was even a hat contest that was cute to watch! I'd come back! It was a unique way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

    After watching Whip It, I was fascinated with Roller Derby. In the movie, the characters played…read moreroller derby on a banked/slanted track and there was a lot of hitting/checking into the walls. The versions of roller derby here in Houston, including the Northside Fury team, plays on a flat track. The rules are a bit different and you don't see the checking, but rest assured there is plenty of hitting. You will get to see elbows throw, booty bumping, and lots and lots of pushing. These guys are still relatively new so their home rink is not super packed. What does that mean for you? FRONT ROW seats. You better hurry because they are a good entertainment value. For $12 a person you can watch all the craziness happening in front of your eyes. You just need to bring your own lawnchair or you can just sit on the furniture that is there or on the floor. You can also bring in a cooler with some of your own beverages. It's fun for the whole family. I had a blast and will be back to see some more fast paced action!

    My evening ROCKED as I watched the Northside Fury ROLL. It was a night to remember!…read more My new hero is an Irish player who goes by 'RED WAVES O'PAIN'. Her personality on the rink matched her name. And the big hits she delivered left me speechless.. WOAH. She spent some time in the penalty corner and out after some falls but her intensity and focus throughout the match remained high and in the zone. That night, Northside Fury was defeated by the Derby Dames but they sure went out in a blaze of glory! We saw big hits, high speed falls, and even a player get a minor concussion. It was INTENSE. I'm glad I wasn't out there! It was a blast though watching from the sidelines. My friends and I enjoyed our cooler full of ice cold craft beers. Yes.. that's right. The event was BYOB! The bout lasted over two hours so by the end of the game, we were all feeling good and in a dancin' kinda mood. And then the announcer said: Free open skate time! Half of us laced up roller skates. The other half opted for roller blades. I hadn't skated in 10 years so I went slow. Several toddlers skating with PVC tripod walkers lapped me on the rink. I eventually got the hang of it though and was able to skate at their speed. Difficulty skating afterward gave me an even stronger appreciation for Roller Derby girls and their sport. I am now a fan of Northside Fury!
