The weekend is a scorcher.
BEER
New Happy Hour at Glow
If you find yourself near Marina del Rey in the near future, you'll want to stop by Glow and wait for 4pm to
hit. Their new happy hour includes $4 Kona Longboard ale, which we're excited about pairing with the $8
mahimahi fish tacos. In fact, nothing's over $8, which just goes to show how highly they think of their fish
tacos.

THREADS
90% Off John Varvatos Suits
John Varvatos's slim-but-not-too-slim suits, dress shirts, sport coats, jeans and other sartorial
paraphernalia will be on sale at up to 90 percent off starting tomorrow. There'll be more than 15,000 JV
items up for grabs in all, but you know how crazy guys can get about designer T-shirts, so you probably want
to secure yourself a spot soon.

FRESHNESS
Introducing the Akasha Bakery Lounge
Culver City restaurant Akasha is taking its
happy hour a step further tomorrow, transforming its bakery into a lounge-y, DJ-enhanced space for
drinks (including an expanded craft beer list) and bar food like Fried Chicken Sliders. No word yet
on vodka-infused bear claws.

IN THE BACK
Gratis Bar Apps at Rockwell
If you haven't yet made it to Rockwell, Los Feliz's
recently minted outdoor hideaway, we're giving you an extra nudge toward the back alley. This Saturday
and Sunday, mention UrbanDaddy with drink orders and you'll get a choice of Thin-Crust Cedar-Roasted
Pizzette or American Kobe Sliders on us. You're welcome.

Brioche
Caché Debuts Brunch
You already know about Caché as a great place for dinner in a
flickering courtyard. Starting this weekend, they'll lure you for brunch by pairing poached eggs with
duck confit, buttermilk pancakes with banana cinnamon rum sauce, and French toast with brioche and vanilla
mascarpone. Clearly, they've moved beyond flickering.

Only what you need to know.
