Real German Wurstery · Glendale, CA · Est. 2023
It’s better here.
Real German wurst, grilled over open flame until the casing snaps, cold bier in a proper glass, and a room that stays loud until late.
Since 2023
Germany, two miles off the 134.
Established in 2023, Bratnbier brings the authentic taste of Germany’s most famous sausages to Los Angeles — a wide selection of wursts, proper sides and cold bier, served fast and served right.
No steam trays, no shortcuts. Every link is ground and seasoned to a regional German recipe, stuffed into natural casing, and cooked from raw the moment you order it.
The grill
Four links people come back for
Ten sausages live on the grill at any time. These are the four that leave first.
The deal

Our standing offer, and the reason most tables here order in pairs. Dine in or take it away.
Two Platters, Two Biers
Order any two wurst platters and a bier comes free with each. Dine-in or pickup.
Feierabend
Weekdays, 3–6 pm: the after-work window. Reduced pours and a snack menu at the bar.

On tap
German bier, poured properly
Weihenstephan and Paulaner from Bavaria, a Czech pilsner, one dangerous Belgian and a crisp Mexican pair. Every pour is half a litre.
Weihenstephan Hefeweiss
Hefeweizen · Bavaria · 5.4%
From the world’s oldest brewery — banana and clove from the yeast, cloudy by design.
Paulaner Munich Lager
Munich Helles · Munich · 4.9%
Soft, bready, faintly sweet. The lager Munich actually drinks every day.
Praga Premium Pilsner
Czech Pilsner · Czech Republic · 4.7%
Bone dry with a long herbal bitterness. Cuts straight through a fatty link.
Delirium Tremens
Belgian Strong Golden · Belgium · 8.5%
The pink elephant. Spicy, fruity and far stronger than it tastes — respect it.
Modelo Especial
Mexican Lager · Mexico · 4.4%
Crisp, clean and light on its feet. The budget-friendly session pour.
Pacifico Clara
Mexican Lager · Mexico · 4.4%
Bright, easy pilsner-style lager from the Pacific coast.
How it works
Counter, table, plate
Bratnbier is walk-in. There is no host stand, no waiting list and no reservation to remember.
Order at the counter
Pick a link, load it from the toppings board, add fries and a bier. The whole thing takes ninety seconds.
Take any table
Long tables, shared benches. Sitting next to strangers is the point, not an inconvenience.
We bring it out
Nothing is cooked until it is ordered, so it arrives hot with the casing still snapping.
Come by
Open from 10 am.
Every single day.
We are on W California Ave in downtown Glendale, a short walk from the Americana and Brand Boulevard — long tables inside, a patio outside, and a kitchen that runs with the room until 2 am on Friday and Saturday.
