    Created by friends, for friends

    Friends George Mendoza and Gabriel Ruiz opened Wursthaus on 4th Street in 2014: gourmet sausages, German and Belgian beer, and a laid-back hall at the eastern end of downtown.

  2. Haus

    Why the name

    “We are a sausage restaurant in a cool haus (building). That’s Wursthaus in German.” — George Mendoza

    OC Weekly, 2015
  3. ?

    The question everyone asks

    “Is there somewhere to eat our food?” Yes. Order at the counter, then walk down the hallway: the restaurant and bar are in the back.

    Gabriel Ruiz, OC Weekly, 2015

“I haven’t had better sausage sandwiches anywhere in OC.”

04 · The hall

Long tables. Five mustards. A bar in the wall.

The back room is one big hall: communal tables, squeeze bottles of mustard on every one, and the bar set into the wall. Come for a sausage, stay for the next round.

Plan of the hall: the hallway opens on the left, three long communal tables with benches and mustard bottles, the bar set into the back wall.← hallwaybar · 20 tapscommunal tables · mustard on every one
