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 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.

Lagunitas beers are available in 20-ish countries and growing. And whether supporting local communities by turning beer into money for the cause, or simply fueling stories and songs with IPA and other fine ales, we’ve learned one thing (aside from how to cook a turkey)…Wherever you go: beer speaks, people mumble.

It all started with the dream of two passionate guys named Dan Gordon and Dean Biersch. This dream of exceptional beer and delicious food became a reality in 1988 when the first Gordon Biersch opened in Palo Alto, CA. Now owned and operated by SPB Hospitality, Gordon Biersch has 11 locations across the U.S. and 6 franchise locations in Taiwan. Committed to using only the freshest and finest ingredients, our restaurants showcase a passion for food with seasonal menus, daily specials and frequent changes to the regular menu. Hand crafted and brewed to perfection, Gordon Biersch goes to great lengths to serve each guest the freshest beer possible. This commitment to serving nothing but the finest and freshest food and beer possible is indicative of our mission - Every Guest, Every Time. Check our website to see what we've got brewing for you!
