BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse is a sprawling American craft brewery and casual dining restaurant located at 985 E Craig Road in North Las Vegas, Nevada, just off the Craig Road commercial corridor between Losee Road and North 5th Street. Tracing its culinary lineage back to its Southern California founding in 1978, the restaurant combines a California twist on Chicago-style deep-dish pizza with an expansive menu of slow-roasted meats, gourmet burgers, award-winning house-brewed beers, and its signature Pizookie skillet desserts. Situated directly across the street from Craig Ranch Regional Park, this North Las Vegas outpost attracts local families, sports fans, and road-trippers traveling along nearby Interstate 15 who want a comfortable, full-service dining room with late-night kitchen hours until midnight seven days a week.

What to Expect at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

Stepping inside the Craig Road location reveals a high-ceilinged dining room centered around a spacious, U-shaped sports bar equipped with large-screen high-definition televisions broadcasting NFL, NBA, UFC, and Vegas Golden Knights games. Surrounding the bar are oversized leather booths, family-sized tables for large groups, and a climate-controlled patio area. The kitchen operates at an impressive scale, turning out over 100 menu items ranging from shareable appetizers like Avocado Egg Rolls and Spinach and Artichoke Dip to slow-roasted prime rib, baby back pork ribs, and EnLIGHTened Entrees designed for guests seeking lower-calorie, high-protein, vegetarian, or gluten-free options.

The beverage program is anchored by BJ’s proprietary brewing operations, which have earned more than 200 medals at major North American beer competitions since 1996. Guests can order individual pints, 20-ounce imperial pours, or custom beer flights featuring core favorites alongside rotating seasonal ales and hard root beers. Families and dessert fans almost universally finish their meals with the restaurant’s trademarked Pizookie—a freshly baked, warm cookie served in a deep individual baking tin and topped with two scoops of rich vanilla bean or specialty ice cream.

• Signature Deep Dish Pizzas: Double-proofed dough pressed into seasoned pans and baked until golden crisp, topped with house-made pizza sauce, meatballs, pepperoni, Italian sausage, and smoked ham on works like the BJ’s Favorite Deluxe.
• World-Class House-Brewed Craft Beers: Nearly a dozen proprietary taps including Jeremiah Red Irish-style ale, Brewhouse Blonde, Oasis Amber, HopStorm IPA, Tatonka Stout, and Berry Burst Cider, plus guest regional taps.
• The Famous Pizookie Dessert Lineup: Baked-to-order skillet cookies available in Chocolate Chunk, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, Salted Caramel, Triple Chocolate, Strawberry Shortcake, and a gluten-free chocolate chip option.
• Slow-Roasted Prime Rib & Entrees: Aged prime rib roasted for over four hours and served Friday through Sunday evenings (and all day Sunday), alongside Chimichurri Tri-Tip, Parmesan-Crusted Chicken, and Atlantic salmon.
• Weekday Lunch Specials & Late-Night Happy Hour: Value-driven weekday lunch combinations served Monday through Friday until 3:00 PM, plus daily afternoon and late-night bar specials on appetizers, signature cocktails, and house brews.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings

To avoid Friday and Saturday evening waits—which frequently reach 30 to 45 minutes between 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM—use the online waitlist feature on the BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse Craig Road website or mobile app before heading to the restaurant. Guests can also pre-order deep-dish pizzas and appetizers through the mobile dine-in system so food begins baking the moment their table is seated, saving the typical 20-minute bake time required for thick-crust pans. Drivers arriving via Interstate 15 can take Exit 48 for Craig Road West and drive approximately 2.5 miles to the restaurant’s expansive, free surface parking lot. Travelers using public transit can ride the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) Route 219 bus along Craig Road, which stops within a two-minute walk of the front entrance.

The single-level building is fully wheelchair and stroller accessible, featuring designated ADA parking stalls beside the entrance ramp, wide aisles between dining booths, step-free bar lounge tables, and spacious accessible restrooms equipped with baby-changing stations. Because the restaurant sits directly south of the 170-acre Craig Ranch Regional Park (628 W Craig Rd), it pairs naturally with a morning or late-afternoon walk around the park’s duck ponds, skate park, community gardens, and dog runs. Cannery Casino & Hotel and the Galaxy Theatres Cannery luxury cinema are also less than five minutes east on Craig Road, making BJ’s an easy pre-movie dinner or late-night post-show stop.
