BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

BJ's does the chain-restaurant thing competently—burgers, pizza, wings—but the draw is the rotating house brews and the fact they're not pretending to be a gastropub when they're not. It's loud, it's full of families and sports fans, and the beer list is long enough that you can actually explore instead of picking the least-bad option. Go if you want decent beer without the craft-bar attitude.

Friday or Saturday evening if you want the full scene; weekday lunch if you want to actually taste your beer and hear conversation.

Ask your server which house brew is currently on rotation and least common—the seasonal or limited runs are where the brewery's actual effort shows up.
