text: I have been going to this BJs Cocktail Lounge since about May I have been going there at least once a week since then sometimes up to four times a week nnFirst 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 am sure they are paid to do so Nevertheless they seem very genuine about it and I always feel very comfortable going therennFor a bar that is themed like many others in Las Vegas fairly dark video poker machines many televisions some times very smokey BJs does not 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 VegasnnA friend of mine and I frequent BJs for lunch and happy hour They have deals for both times At lunch they have a lunch menu that is actually for the most part worth the I have had pretty much all of the burgers offered on the lunch menu they are 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 undercooked However this could be that I just do not like mushrooms that much since I rarely eat them I guess you learn something everydaynnMy favorite item on the menu is the Prime Rib Dip sandwich This is offered on the lunch menu It is 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 amazingnnThe happy hour BJs offers is also extremely good All drinks are half price from pm to pm They also offer a decent assortment of appetizers A Dogfish Head IPA will run you only at happy hour opposed to bucks at the few local places that actually have it A Coors Light or equivalent will run you under a I have really only eaten the chicken wings at happy hour but they are pretty good as well They are not breaded or fried but grilled and slightly charred different but a nice departure from basicsnnAll in all I would probably give BJs stars but I am still reserving that for a place that I would deem perfect However I do not think I have been to any place like that yet
