BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse hours

Most BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse locations are open 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight) Sunday through Thursday and 11:00 AM to 1:00 AM Friday and Saturday. The chain is closed Christmas Day, and most locations also close Thanksgiving Day.

BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse (founded 1978 in Santa Ana, California as a Chicago-style deep-dish pizza place and expanded into a full restaurant-brewery concept in 1996; NASDAQ: BJRI; not related to BJ’s Wholesale Club, the warehouse retailer) is an American casual-dining brewery-restaurant chain with about 220 US locations across 30 states.

Common questions are about Sunday hours, when the kitchen closes Friday and Saturday nights, weekend brunch timing at locations that offer it, and which holidays close every BJ’s (Christmas) versus which stay open.

One quirk worth knowing: BJ’s brews most of its house beers in-house at production breweries in Reno NV and Temple TX rather than at each restaurant, and the chain’s signature dessert is the Pizookie, a warm deep-dish cookie served in a pizza pan and topped with vanilla ice cream.

The official BJ’s locator below shows exact hours, address, and phone for the location nearest you, since opening time on weekends and last-call timing on Fri-Sat vary by city and by local alcohol rules.
