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.

Café La Maze holds a storied history as a Hollywood hotspot, with its original location on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, CA frequented by movie stars and celebrities like Jimmy Durante and the Marx Brothers.

This new location, established in 1940, featured a hidden gambling room above the restaurant, adding to its allure as a last chance for patrons to try their luck.The grand opening of Café La Maze in National City became a star-studded event, attracting iconic actors such as Bing Crosby, Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, and Johnny Weissmuller. The ambiance of Café La Maze pays homage to the golden era of Hollywood, reminiscent of classic films from the 1940s and 1950s, creating a timeless and glamorous atmosphere for all who visit.**Entertainment 7 nights a week.**
