Our Story

Occupying the East 57th Street former home of Neary’s – the legendary Irish pub that stood as a neighborhood institution for 57 years – The Derby Club blends the unabashedly social and theatrical days of New York dining with a fresh culinary vision.

Celebrated Chef Ed Cotton and acclaimed restaurant partners pay homage to an era when dining out was glamorous, social, and eventful in their reimagination of this storied space.

The Setting

The Derby Club pays homage to its predecessor while introducing the grandeur of late 20th-century dining and refined elements of modern-day restaurant spaces. Guests will enter to find the original cherry-wood bar leading to the intimate 38-seat dining room lined with ruby red banquettes.

A mural by Philadelphia’s acclaimed Bird Studio honoring the neighborhood’s history with a landscape of Sutton Place and the East River adorns the west wall.

The Dining Experience

Throughout the menu, Chef Ed Cotton revisits iconic dishes of the period- not as replicas, but as reinterpretations- serving guests familiar-sounding plates that take unexpected turns.
