5 GREAT RESTAURANTS IN JACK LONDON SQUARE

Brotzeit Lokal

1000 Embarcadero, Oakland, CA 94606

MICHELIN Guide’s Point of View: Right off Embarcadero and just a few minutes south of Jack London Square, Brotzeit Lokal looks and feels like a classic German beer hall, albeit with great views of the water. It's a casual, convivial place with long tables and benches that beg for groups to connect over beer and Bavarian pretzels (served with mustard or cheese spreads, naturally).

You’ll definitely want to check out this spot for its unique atmosphere and top-quality ramen dishes.
