Waterfront German-American eatery with sausages, beer
























"It’s tough to beat Brotzeit Lokal’s waterfront beer garden, set right along the Oakland-Alameda Estuary. The star of the menu is a selection of sausages, but there are other German classics, plus 20 beers on draft and dozens more in bottles. Bonus: It’s kid- and dog-friendly." - Eater Staff


"Krista and Tony Granieri, the owners of Bavarian biergarten Brotzeit Lokal, opened Magpie in November 2019." - Becky Duffett

"Open for years, tucked away and on the water; the name translates, to “bread-time” and the menu offers Bavarian fare with an emphasis on quality. Sausages are made from scratch at an offsite kitchen and the pretzels are from a local bakery. The impressive beer program focuses on small German and Austrian family breweries, monastery microbrews plus a few additional local options." - The MICHELIN Guide

"The sausage-and-beer specialist is temporarily doing pickup for takeout orders at its sister restaurant Magpie Taproom (375 40th Street); call 510-788-4698 or order through Caviar." - Luke Tsai

"Krista Granieri, co-owner of Brotzeit Lokal and Magpie, says she hasn’t been able to find containers that work for booze delivery and worries that most lids have straw holes, asking bluntly, ‘What are we going to use? Soup containers?’" - Eve Batey
