We were traveling thru the area and stopped at this pub. Parking is a bit tight as you need to find a vacant spot on the street. But the Pub oozes old world charm. Very friendly and helpful staff, good food, great beer. And we happened to visit during one of their trivia nights. Not just any trivia, this was very high octane trivia. So fun to be a part of.

BJ's in San Rafael is located a two-minute drive from where I live, so it becomes a choice when we want to stay close and have a moderately-priced meal. It is a family-friendly sports bar/restaurant - huge, high-ceilinged - that is actually pretty attractive. The warm dim lighting is nice. Knowing that it is a chain restaurant should adjust your expectations. The menu is vast (indicating much of it comes from the freezer), but they have paid attention to having many healthy choices, and there are often new items. They have a number of vegetarian items, and they are happy to modify entrees to make them so. They are, of course, known for their large selection of beers, but they serve some good wines as well, and on Tuesday night it is half-price. As may be expected, the staff turns over a lot and the dining experience will be affected by the host/hostess and server. I have only had a few off experiences, though, in the course of many visits.

Was visiting the town and dropped by for appetizers and check out their selection of regional brews. The place has fun atmosphere, foods were average, the staff were hospitable and the drinks were ok.

Had a group lunch (about 18 persons). The Reuben Sandwich had sauerkraut loaded on each side of the bread and two slices of corned beef in the middle. Also served cold. A massive basket of bread was placed in the center of the table, and a few bowls of butter. No bread plates provided. The 18 of us had to pass ONE basket of bread and those who took a slice had to use the table cloth to put the bread on. Very disappointing. The service was curt, borderline rude. I would like to patronize this spot, but when I dine out I want to feel taken care of, not as if I am a bother to the server.

The portions were small and the prices were expensive. The fish and chips should have come with coleslaw, and more than 2 pieces of fish. The house salad was under dressed. My daughter really enjoyed her caesar salad. There is no soup/salad combo. The fries were nice and crispy. My husband said his spicy chicken sandwich was ok. Mediocre at best. Our first and last visit.This is the view from outside of the restaurant. The water is littered with plastic, cigarette butts, recycling, sports equipment, and litter. This is NOT what you want to see before entering. This is shameful of the entire area.

I have been here many times. The food is consistently great. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and they have a cozy outside deck with plants (a banana tree) and colorful mosaics. The service is excellent and the chef/owner Bill is a really great guy and always welcoming. This is one of my favorite places to eat. I highly recommend it.
