One positive result of the San Diego beach drinking ban is the local nightlife scene is starting early this summer with all-new daytime parties across rooftop hotel lounges in the Gaslamp.

While the weekly Intervention party at Moonstone Lounge at the Hard Rock Hotel may have kicked-off this summer trend in rowdy Vegas style, the Ivy Hotel introduces an upscale take on daytime fun with Eden Sundays. For an elegant Sunday party under the summer sun without the loud crowds and chaos that typically go hand-in-hand with Intervention, head to the poolside rooftop lounge, Eden, at the Ivy.

Eden Sundays launched on Memorial Day weekend with special guest DJ Steve Aoki, aka Kid Millionaire - who is rumored to be making quite a few resident appearances atop the sparkling Ivy Hotel this summer. In addition to high-energy DJ beats, Eden Sundays guests can cool off in the pool, relax and tan on one of the cushioned lounge beds or indulge in Sunday fun at one of the poolside cabana booths with bottle service amid plush furnishings. And, stunning panoramic views of the downtown San Diego skyline only elevate the Eden Sunday experience.

If you're used to warm picnic lunches on the sandy shores during summer, it's time to upgrade your weekend dining style with Executive Chef Damon Gordon from Quarter Kitchen, the renowned restaurant within the Ivy Hotel. Catering to party-goers and guests bronzing atop the Ivy, Gordon has created a special Eden Sundays Grill menu with sizzling summer fare.

Menu favorites include Meyer Beef Brochettes with soy marinated top sirloin and shitake mushrooms sesame aioli, and Tropical Fruit Brochettes with fresh Hawaiian pineapple, mango, papaya, baby banana and citrus-mint yogurt. Other summer menu items include Citrus Marinated Tilapia Tacos and Chicken and Apple Sausage Brochettes. And, if you can believe it, all Eden Sunday Grill items are only $8, and Eden Rooftop's expert mixologist is available to pair your lunch with a signature mojito or margarita.

By now, you have undoubtedly checked out the Intervention Sunday party at the Hard Rock Hotel. And if you're still recovering from the big May event with Dave Navarro (like us), we sympathize and are here to invite you to a more mellow lounge experience with the same upscale nightlife edge at Eden Sundays at the poolside Eden lounge atop the Ivy Hotel.

Eden Sundays take place every Sunday starting at 2pm, and entry is complimentary with an advance reservation. For more information on Eden Sundays, or to make reservations please call 619.814.2055.
