One lucky winner will receive a one-night stay at Margaritaville Hotel San Diego, plus a $50 dining credit, pending approval from the hotel team.

A playful bat- or dog-themed stir stick will add an extra Halloween touch to each cocktail. Beyond the costumes, the regular Yappy Hour experience is designed with dogs in mind, featuring a menu of canine-friendly “barktails” and bites. Pups can cool down with a Pawgarita, a cucumber-and-ice blend, or a Pupa Colada made with coconut purée, while the food menu includes options like Canine Crudité, a Bark Burger made with a grilled beef patty and Paw-lickin’ Chicken.
