Hard Rock San Diego to Serve Free Pot Brownies

Where: 207 5th Ave [map], San Diego, CA, United States, 92101-6908

Oh, Hard Rock, ever the edgy brand. (Don’t let its glossy corporate shell fool you!) Underneath its aging-rocker exterior you’ll find an inner badass. Really! Er, that’s what we hear from Hard Rock Hotel San Diego’s carefully crafted marketing blitz to coincide with the upcoming 40th anniversary of Woodstock.

The hotel’s signature restaurant, Maryjane’s Coffee Shop, will be serving “free Pot Brownies” to all guests checking in Aug. 14-16 in “an irreverent nod to the infamous Woodstock counterculture” (read: drug orgy). Of course, this is 2009 (not 1969) and a luxury hotel (not a muddy field) we’re talking, so “pot brownie” is, alas, just a play on words.

In their words: “The truth is: The warm, baked-to-order brownies are aptly named for the charming ceramic pots in which they are baked and not for any secret ingredients.”

D’oh! Not that we’re complaining. Free gooey brownies are always welcome, munchies or not. Even better? The brownies will be served a la mode. Mmmm…brownies and ice cream — that's a "special" combo if we ever heard one.
