Not much of a gambling family although we do enjoy spending a day at Derby Lane with our NY family when they visit. Exciting to watch the greyhound of our choice in each race as they race for the finish line. I even won $3.80. Like I said, not much of a gambling man with my paycheck.

It was my first time in the poker room. Great staff. Inviting atmosphere. Would definitely return there instead of the casino. You feel like a local and everyone knows each other. Oh and winning didn't hurt either ;)

I know Greyhound racing isn't PC and people want to end it, but they treat the dogs much better now and they're beautiful creatures whose instinct is to chase a rabbit really fast (even the mechanical Harrison the Hare). They really don't seem to mind running, they certainly aren't whipped and kicked like race horses are, and no one's trying to stop that. It's fun to bet, I hope some more people step up to support it before the original American dog track becomes another lost old Florida attraction.

Lots of games available, tournaments, and both financed games and house. Staff is friendly and the place is very clean. Historical building built in the 1920s. Greyhound racing as well.

It's a cozy NYC bar with really cool artsy decor of vintage automobiles as coaches and a DJ stand. The bartender was super nice.
There's a back exit with ample room for people to chill, smoke and relax.
There's a unisex bathroom amongst the regulars.

This may not be fair because I am not a big gambler. However I did not really enjoy the food, it was much like cafeteria style food. The positives are that there is plenty of parking and there were no crowds we went on a Friday night. You can go gambling for poker tables and things like that if you do not want to gamble on the dogs. You are far away from the track but can see with the televisions at each table they are large and you are able to see other places that have horse races and bet on them if you choose.

Easy parking. Circa 1925 has an amazing menu for apps, entrees, and desserts. Great service. Such a fun atmosphere. Well kept grounds. Totally recommend.
