Industry Night at SET: Off the Clock in Newport Beach

Mondays in Newport Beach don’t have to feel like a reset button. At SET Steak & Sushi Newport Beach, Mondays are for the ones who make the city move — the bartenders, servers, chefs, hosts, managers, and creatives who keep Newport running.

Off the Clock at SET is our weekly Industry Night designed specifically for hospitality professionals who know good food, strong drinks, and a proper atmosphere when they see it. No dress code. No expectations. Just a seat at the table and the full SET experience.

A Weekly Industry Night at a Newport Beach Steakhouse

Every Monday from 5:00 PM to close, SET opens its doors for one of the most talked-about industry nights in Newport Beach. Hospitality professionals receive 30% off food and drinks — because after taking care of everyone else all week, it’s time for someone to take care of you.

As a modern steakhouse in Newport Beach, SET offers something rare for industry nights: a full dinner menu, curated cocktails, and an environment that still feels elevated — just without the pressure.

All you need is proof of employment. We’ll handle the rest.

What to Expect on Mondays at SET

Industry Night at SET isn’t about rushing through a shift meal or squeezing in one drink before last call. It’s about settling in.

Guests can enjoy:

Flame-grilled steak in Newport Beach, from ribeye caps to Wagyu cuts

A full sushi menu featuring some of the most creative sushi in Newport Beach

Craft cocktails, wine, and strong pours done properly

A relaxed, social crowd that actually understands the industry

Whether you’re posted up at the bar or unwinding on the patio, Mondays at SET feel intentional — not afterthought.

Steak and Sushi Newport Beach, Done After Hours

What makes Off the Clock different from other industry nights is the menu. SET doesn’t scale back on Mondays.

You can start with Kampachi Crudo or specialty rolls from our Newport Beach sushi program, then move straight into a flame-grilled steak without missing a beat. It’s the kind of flexibility industry professionals appreciate — real food, real options, no shortcuts.

And if you’re planning ahead for the week, don’t forget: SET is also known for brunch in Newport Beach, making it just as easy to come back on your day off.

A Go-To Spot for Group Dining in Newport Beach
