About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Lively
  • Good for business meals
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.

    I always like the BJ's in La Jolla very much. Yesterday, I found that this location in Carlsbad is even better. My guests loved the store. We will be back there!

    Great service from Julianne! We got seated right away on one of the busiest holidays of the year. Lots on the menu, we each had something different. The Harvest Hefiwiezen is a mighty tasty wheat beer. We will be back.

    We felt the food was way to salted and peppered and it was cold when we received it. It was busy and we had a small child with us so we just ate a little and then took the rest home

    It was honestly horrible just the fact we made a reservation and still had to wait like everyone else and then it just seems like they don’t prioritize there guest or people our server was rushing us and just seemed like she didn’t even wanna be working it was just a horrible experience overall.
