Now that August doldrums are under way, we thought you could use a little pre-Labor Day pick-me-up. And so did a few ocean-adjacent getaways, who agreed to offer you, as one of our favorite UD subscribers (we promise), some exclusive beachside bargains.
Head to the Malibu pier after work, take a seat at either the Beachcomber or the Malibu Pier Club, and tell them the Daddy sent you—magically, all drinks will be priced two-for-one. Agave Margaritas, martinis, beers, wines by the glass—just about anything that doesn't come in a keepsake glass. You can work with that.
Head over to Hash, inside Venice Beach's new Hotel Erwin, and mention UD for a three-course prix-fixe dinner for $30. You can't see the ocean yet—but that's where the gratis rooftop cocktail afterward at High comes in.
After sunset on the patio of the Malibu Beach Inn's Carbon Beach Club restaurant, the waves will surge up underneath you. And if you've mentioned UD when you make your lunch or dinner reservation, the first round of Cruzan cocktails surge up to your table on the house.
And over in the Veranda at Casa Del Mar, settle into a table by the windows and tell 'em the password—it's "Sea Spa." Yes, they're trying to promote health via hypnosis, and yes, the password grants you your choice of $5 beers. Order two bottles and they'll come with gratis sliders and a whiskey shot. You feel better already.
But if you're in the mood to call in sick and really get away, our friends at The Resort at Pelican Hill have arranged the "Endless Summer Package" for those who mention UD. The 20-percent-off retreat includes a bungalow with private balcony, three-course dinner for two at Pelican Grill (complete with bottle of prosecco) and late checkout. We're sure you'll find a way to pass the extra time.
