Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

    Terrible bartender. He doesn’t know how to make a cocktail, Moscow mule. The waitress also never heard of Negroni, one of the simplest drinks in the world. They asked me to give the recipe that she would give it to bartender. I was told that they didn’t have Campari . Then I changed my order to Moscow mule and the taste was aweful. Probably they didn’t have ginger beer and fixed the cocktail with something else.
