I was craving German food, and I was so glad we came to this place! The favorite thing my friends ordered here was the 2 sausages with spaetzle, sauerkraut, and pretzel. Definitely worth it. It was the best sauerkraut I have had in awhile I ordered the special goulash which was soul warming and went perfectly with the breaded potato ball they served it with. We ended the meal with apple strudel a la mode. It came out piping hot and paired perfectly with the vanilla bean ice cream. The service was friendly and casual. The vibe of the place is calm, casual, and not too noisy. Perfect place for a get together with friends for warm food and cold beer.

Brotzeit Lokal is an amazing restaurant with authentic German food! They hand make their sausages, sauerkraut, spätzle, and more daily. The view is amazing overlooking the water. They have a dozen + beers on tap with many more in bottles from around the world. They have indoor and outdoor seating and allow all pets in their outdoor seating. The restaurant is always clean and tidy. The employees provide excellent customer service. Highly recommended

Food is outstanding here and German beers. Wait staff knowledgeable and attentive. The location can't be beat-- right on Oakland's estuary. I have brought friends here cause so friendly! The vibe is chill.

Brotzeit Lokal is a fantastic place to experience German cuisine and culture in the heart of Oakland. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is lively, and the service is friendly. Whether you're a fan of German food or just looking for a fun night out, Brotzeit Lokal is definitely worth a visit.

It's a German bar and restaurant at the Port of Oakland. Location is great for wandering around and walking at the port. Good variety of beers, sausages and schnitzel. Given the atmosphere as a casual spot it's an expensive place. Indoor and outdoor seating. Quick responsive service. Good for small groups, meetup and couples. Parking lot attached with limited spaces but still possible. Outdoor is easily accessible. Veggie options available. Ask for seasonal sausage and try venison for sure.

Cute beer garden on the shore, a great place to hang out with friends outside when the weather is nice. Great views and delicious food, and a large selection of interesting beers. The food was very tasty, the sausages were flavorful and had a great snap, and the schnitzels were fried really well in that the meat was still juicy. I tried the seasonal game sausage which was pheasant, cilantro and ghost pepper jack when I went and it was incredibly tasty. Desserts were also very good, and the servers were friendly

This restaurant is right by the waters and the outside is so beautiful, I loved all the scenery and calm seaside breeze. The calamari is amazing and the sausage platter did not disappoint!

Definitely German restaurant and Biergarten flair! The full menu has some pretty authentic German dishes. The home made lemon and grapefruit Radler are amazing (maybe a bit sour for some but I loved it). The one really big disappointment though was that they serve Weißwurst grilled and on Sauerkraut?l? And there is no sweet mustard. This can be considered an insult to a Bavarian! Especially since the Weißwurst itself is amazing, just served absolutely wrong! It needs to be heated in broth or at least hot water with a sacrifice Weißwurst and served with a Brezel, sweet mustard and a Hefeweizen. Pffft.. grilled on sauerkraut... !!?! The sad part was that I asked the server if it is served with a pretzel and sweet mustard and she said "sure you can add a pretzel and the mustards are on the table". I did not check until the grilled abomination was served but then I realized there was no sweet mustard to be found. My fault I guess... if I had known and double checked I'd ordered a bratwurst instead. And again the wurst itself would have been probably the best Weißwurst I've had in the states if prepared and served the traditional way.

Absolutely delicious, incredibly hearty brunch. Dropped by on a Sunday afternoon and sat inside at a table facing the water, against the windows. It was very rainy that afternoon, so we had a great view of the steely water and sky. We went with the bier snack platter to start ($18), and I got the schnitzel stack ($18) with a side of spatzle ($5; this wasn't on the menu, but the waitress was happy to give me a side of it when I asked if that was possible). My husband got the Brotzeit sausage platter ($21). He went with the wurzige and special game sausages; the game that day was venison. I've been thinking about my schnitzel stack since I had it and desperately wanting another. It was so delicious and extremely generous in size. That mushroom gravy was wonderful, and the schnitzel was juicy and tender. The fried egg on top helped bring it all together with the runny yolk. I tried my husband's platter and thought both sausages were delicious. I'd never had venison before and thought it was great, not too gamey. The only thing I wasn't too big on was the bier snack platter. While the pretzel was soft and good, I didn't care for the cheese spread that came with it and felt beer cheese would've been a better pairing. The spicy peanuts were good, but this is really a better option for someone who loves pickles and pickled foods (which I don't). Overall, this was a very pleasant meal and we walked away stuffed. The wait staff were friendly, there was plenty of open seating to choose from when we walked in, and lots more on the brunch menu I wanted to try, to say nothing of the lunch and dinner menu and everything on it. I can't wait to come back here.
