BJ's set to open April 23 in east Dublin
Popular chain offers signature pizza, handcrafted beer, exotic desserts

The award-winning, popular BJ's will open its new restaurant and brewhouse at Fallon Gateway in Dublin on April 23.

With seats for 280 patrons, BJ's will offer an extensive menu including BJ's signature deep-dish pizza, handcrafted beer and its famous Pizookie dessert.

BJ's highly detailed, contemporary décor and unique video statement, including BJ's 103-inch plasma display as well as several high-definition flat panel televisions, should make it a convenient gathering place for sports fans with a healthy atmosphere for families, said Greg Levin, a BJ's Restaurant representative.

The restaurant is visible from I-580 and located across from Target at the Fallon Road exit. Signs on the building indicate the restaurant is now hiring in advance of a "soft opening" sometime in mid-April.

According to John Zukoski, who writes and publishes "Around Dublin" online, BJ's will have a full bar and will serve a wide variety of appetizers, entrées, lunch specials and handcrafted beers. The chain is best known for its slate of ambers, ales, porters, stouts, hefeweizens, and lagers.

Aside from the traditional burgers and pizza, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse has other entrees, such as Chicken A La Fresca, Garden Fresh Salads like the Seared Ahi Salad, and Culinary Creations such as Tuscan Chicken Limone.

Its Pizookie desserts are the stuff of legends, according to Levin. Hot out of the oven and topped with two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream, the freshly baked cookies are served in their own deep dishes and are the perfect capstone to every signature meal at BJ's.
