Brian StraussApril 7, 2017My kind of place. Great German food and Euro-centric beer list. Gorgeous spot on the water. Exactly where you want to be on a sunny day. The food you want anytime with a pretzel on top
- Mark HurtyJuly 28, 2013Sit on the patio and be sure to ask the owner to tell you about his boat. It's the classic, wood hulled cruiser moored in the first slip. Beer selection is good and the house made sausages are tasty.
Paula Wirth / Eat Drink OaklandJuly 30, 2013Beer Garden & restaurant right on the water, w/ happy hour specials, housemade sausage, bretzel and other treats, great German beer selection, even a custom Linden St. Brewery brew.
Potato pancakes are crispy & delicious appetizers! Don't forget to smother them in sour cream & applesauce
Yes, the selection of German Beers is awesome, but the house brew is made by nearby Linden Street Brewery & should not be missed!
One of the best spots for day drinking in Oakland. Super German beers and super German brats.
Bike here, sit outiside in the sun with your dog and munch on a vegan sausage. The pretzel is not vegan though. Lots of beers and heat lamps for the night.
Anner NannerJuly 20, 2014The burgers are awesome plus you can pick from all sorts or sausages. Their brunch has solid choices. Also the Croque Madam is really good too.
While it's nice to be outside some spots don't get a lot of umbrella coverage, can get too hot. Since there's outdoor seating expect to see a lot of dogs and kids at Sunday brunch.
Tasting TableSeptember 5, 2014Brotzeit Lokal has outdoor seating on the waterfront, and a delicious selection of brews from Germany, Belgium and the U.S. Read more
Charlene NaughtonFebruary 6, 2016The housemade sausages and the kasespaetzle is flavorless. Bretzel was pretty good. All in all, not worth the visit but a great place to hang with friends and have a beer.- Outside seating, great beer selection, views, and plz get the bretzel.
- Michelle Chapman-ThurberOctober 5, 2013The Wiener schnitzel is fabulous, and the applesauce is to die for. Loved the red cabbage and spatzle too!
- John SchulzSeptember 24, 2015Nice selection of German beers and sausages. Sit outside on sunny days and stare at the marina.
Good scnitzel, cheese spatzel, good view from the patio and appropiate beer selection.
Mortiche WongFebruary 5, 2014Their spatzle has gotten better. Schnitzel is fried (loaded) with butter, good rotkohl (braised red cabbage). Not a fan of their goulash sadly.
Ryan BlockJune 15, 2016SAUSAGES, BEER (RADLER AND DIRTY HO'S), PRETZELS, WATER VIEWS, CORN HOLE, AND MORE!
- You can dock your boat here and enjoy beer, knodel, and spaetzle
Michael CabotSeptember 18, 2022Burger and the schnitzel stack were good. The fries were meh. Beer selection is nice.
- Tasting TableOctober 10, 2014Our favorite biergarten these days due to its outdoor seating on the waterfront and a delicious selection of brews from Germany, Belgium and the U.S. Try a Rodenbach Grand Cru. Read more
Alicia CarterDecember 19, 2013It sucked. Soggy mushy lukewarm vegan sausage claiming to be Field Roast. Not returning...

"Great place to hangout with friends, and an amazing selection of beer. Can get really crowded though, so service becomes shoddy. Expect some wait time for food and drinks."

"Nice beer garden. Mac & cheese burger is delicious. They also make a solid tuna melt."
