This place is fantastic. The wait staff was AMAZING! It was disconcerting at first to not be able to see anything, but you get used to it. It was fun to just chat and enjoy each other's company with no distractions. The food was great. I imagine it is fun to come up with different ideas! Thank you for a great experience.

About the restaurant

I Love Sugar Candy Martini Bar

Much more than a candy store. I LOVE SUGAR is the world’s most incrEDIBLE candy experience.

Founded in 2012 with a vision to innovate the candy store industry.

Pushing the boundaries with state of the art design and extreme attention to detail is what we believe makes shoppers often refer to I LOVE SUGAR as "the Apple store of candy".

The ability to execute dream-like creativity has led the brand to an intellectual property library that consists of over 20 design patents and trademarks.

Combine that with every type of candy imaginable, mix it with love and an iconic brand, I LOVE SUGAR was born.

North Las Vegas

About the restaurant

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.

It was good, but very noisy. We had to wait a few extra minutes for our table. Overall, I'd probably come back when things are quieter.
