Loved this dockside pub, specializing in German fare. Good selection of drinks, solid menu and what were some of the best fish and chips that I've seen in the area. Dress warm, as the bay can get breezy. Not on the cheap side, but not hoity-toity prices either.Kid-friendliness: Family style bench seating or outdoors, so feels comfy for kids to come along. There is an inside seating area close to the bar, but I don't think there's many seating at the bar proper.

The place is really cool, the kind of place you can meet up after work, or see some family. Ita a nice in-between from relaxed/pub and a fancy place. The fries and onion rings left something to be desired. But the main dishes were great. Also, the bread pudding is the best ive ever had, period.

I have been going to Brozeit Lokal for years. They have good food, very friendly staff and a lovely ambiance. I recently tried their fish and chips though and I was astounded by how amazing it was. The fish was crispy on the outside and perfectly soft and moist on the inside, like a funnel cake in fish form. I liked it so much that I took my husband there a couple of days later to try it, though this time we subbed the späetzle for the fires, which I HIGHLY recommend!! Five stars for sure.Vegetarian options: Their potato pancakes are delicious. They offer a field roast sausage as a vegetarian option.

This place will always have our undying loyalty! They singlehandedly saved the rehearsal dinner for our wedding back in September with no notice.We have always loved coming to Brotzeit for their great views, friendly staff, and tasty beer and schnitzel. Hence, we wanted them to cater our rehearsal dinner! But a few months before the date, I accidentally ordered the food for our rehearsal dinner for the wrong day (Saturday instead of Friday). I discovered this 15 minutes into the dinner! Luckily we had two caterers, so some people were already eating something. However, I called Brotzeit in a panic, and they whipped out 60 dinners in 1.5 hours! The cooks and staff were so supportive without hesitation, and did not even charge extra. And the delicious food was all there, even the fresh pretzels! Not one person left our dinner hungry.Brotzeit's staff is the most customer-centric and hardworking staff we know. They always are welcoming, conversational, and helpful. We truly feel taken care of there, and genuinely enjoy every day we have spent at Brotzeit drinking and eating. Please go enjoy this wonderful restaurant!
