| - I've been going to this BJs Cocktail Lounge since about May 2013. I've been going there at least once a week since then (sometimes up to four times a week).
First of all, the wait and bar staff is extremely friendly and personable. I really like going there because of this. They will definitely remember your name if you frequent this place enough (of course, I'm sure they're paid to do so). Nevertheless, they seem very genuine about it and I always feel very comfortable going there.
For a bar that is themed like many others in Las Vegas (fairly dark, video poker machines, many televisions, some times very smokey) BJ's doesn't have a dive feel at all. It definitely is very clean, new and nicely decorated and I consider it much more upscale than par for Las Vegas.
A friend of mine and I frequent BJ's for lunch and happy hour. They have deals for both times. At lunch, they have a $10 lunch menu that's actually, for the most part, worth the $10. I've had pretty much all of the burgers offered on the lunch menu (they're generally always cooked to preference). All have been good. The BBQ bacon burger is very good - thick patty, cooked to order and the bacon does not disappoint. The personal pizzas are also very good as well and more than enough for one person to eat. The only time I was not pleasantly surprised with my meal was with the mushroom burger. The mushrooms tasted a little too "wild" for me and under-cooked. However, this could be that I just don't like mushrooms that much since I rarely eat them. I guess you learn something everyday.
My favorite item on the menu is the Prime Rib Dip sandwich. This is offered on the $10 lunch menu. It's a very sizable sandwich with juicy roast beef on a baguette roll smothered in onions and Swiss cheese. Additionally, it comes with a cappuccino cup full of Au jus, an excellent garlic horseradish sauce, freshly cooked potato chips and is really quite amazing.
The happy hour BJ's offers is also extremely good. All drinks are half price from 4pm to 7pm. They also offer a decent assortment of $5 appetizers. A Dogfish Head IPA will run you only $3 at happy hour (opposed to 6-8 bucks at the few local places that actually have it). A Coors Light (or equivalent) will run you under a $1.50. I've really only eaten the chicken wings at happy hour, but they are pretty good as well. They're not breaded or fried, but grilled and slightly charred (different but a nice departure from basics).
All in all, I would probably give BJs 5 stars, but I'm still reserving that for a place that I would deem "perfect". However, I don't think I've been to any place like that yet.
