New Restaurant Coming to Colonie Center

BJ's Brewhouse, an eatery that serves deep dish pizza and more, will be setting up shop in the old Sears Auto Center.

According to the Times Union, the annual earnings report from BJ's Brewhouse's parent company states their plans to open the new restaurant. Construction is scheduled to start towards the end of the year and the new spot should open in the second half of 2017.

BJ's Brewhouse's website says they serve Chicago-style deep dish pizza with a "Southern California twist." Their menu also includes burgers, salads, specialty entrees and more.

Beer? Pizza? Another place I can go hide and drown my sorrows while waiting for my wife to finish shopping? I'm in!
