Off the Clock at SET: The Go-To Industry Night in Newport Beach

Mondays in hospitality hit different—and not always in a good way. After a long weekend of back-to-back covers, double shifts, and late nights, industry folks deserve more than just sleep and takeout. They deserve sushi, steak, cocktails, and a night that feels like it was built for them.

Starting Monday, August 4th, we’re launching Off the Clock at SET—the official industry night in Newport Beach, designed for the ones who keep this city running—from the barbacks to the bottle girls.

What Is Industry Night at SET?

Every Monday from 5PM to close, we roll out 30% off food and drinks for anyone in the hospitality industry. Whether you’re slinging drinks at Joey Newport, working the floor at Javier’s, rolling sushi at Bear Flag, or managing a shift at Malibu Farm, you’re invited.

All you have to do? Show proof of employment (pay stub, schedule, business card—you know the drill) and we’ll take care of the rest.

Why SET?

There are a few steakhouses in Newport Beach, but none quite like SET. We’re not stuffy, we’re not stiff, and we don’t care if you roll in straight from your shift.

What we do care about:

Flame-broiled steaks cooked to perfection

Sustainably caught seafood and hand-crafted sushi rolls

A cocktail list that’s bold, balanced, and anything but basic

A garden-inspired patio that feels like a vibe, every damn time

Whether you’re ordering a ribeye and rosé or sipping something strong with your spicy tuna, SET brings the kind of post-shift energy your group chat will thank you for.

The Industry Night Lineup

SET isn’t just offering a discount—we’re building a community of Newport Beach service industry pros who get it. Expect a solid playlist, a crowd that knows the difference between shaken and stirred, and a staff that speaks your language.

Who’s It For?

Servers, bartenders, hosts, cooks, chefs, dishwashers

Hotel staff (shoutout to Lido House, Pelican Hill, and Pasea Hotel)

Nightlife crews from spots like Mesa, Time Nightclub, and Stag Bar

Anyone who's ever said “corner” and actually meant it
