We’re open — welcome in
Real German Wurstery · Glendale, CA · Est. 2023
It’s better here.
The grill is hot and the doors are open. Real German wurst, grilled until the casing snaps — with a topping on the house — 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
13 links live on the grill — pork, chicken and one vegan. These are the four that leave first.
On tap
German bier, poured properly
Weihenstephan and Paulaner from Bavaria, a German IPA from Berlin, a hazy one brewed in downtown LA, one dangerous Belgian and more. Eight taps, poured cold.
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.
Boomtown Chavez Ravine
Hazy IPA · Los Angeles · 6.5%
Brewed downtown. Hazy and soft, citrus over stone fruit, bitterness kept low.
BRLO German IPA
German IPA · Berlin · 7.0%
Berlin craft — pine and citrus hops over a clean German malt base. Cuts straight through a fatty link.
Sapporo
Japanese Rice Lager · Japan · 4.9%
Crisp, dry and clean off the tap. Also in the bottle fridge.
Delirium Tremens
Belgian Strong Golden · Belgium · 8.5%
The pink elephant. Spicy, fruity and far stronger than it tastes — respect it.
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, choose your free topping, 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.

Germany has hundreds of regional sausages and a beer law five centuries old. We wrote it all down so ordering is never a guess.
