Butterjoint is a comfy bar and restaurant located in North Oakland. Our welcoming and eclectic atmosphere is appropriate for almost any occasion - whether it be meeting a friend for a drink, celebrating an important event, or relaxing after work.

Our menu is a mixture of familiar Pittsburgh foods (think pierogies, hamburgers, French fries) and French bistro classics (beef tartare, raclette, mussels), and seasonal classics that come and go throughout the year. We put care into our vegetarian dishes too, including making our own tempeh, falafel, and veggie patties from scratch. Menu items change frequently--usually every day--and reflect many long-standing relationships we have with farms and breweries in our region.

In addition to reservations, we also have a thirty seat bar that is first come, first serve. We don’t know exactly how old the bar is, but it’s at least seventy years old (probably older) and very cozy. Our friendly bartenders are here to make something you like.

    Food was beautifully presented and very delicious. Server knew the menu very well and was able to describe vinegar cake to us (we tried it. It’ was a little sweet for me.). Great experience with delicious food and great service.

    Food was great - only grumble is that I reserved standard seating - on arrival the hostess told me she would sit us in the bar. Refused that - I could see a standard table was ready. Another server told the hostess “next time, don’t tell them it’s bar seating”. Hello - I can hear you!!

    The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Jamaican Pulled Goat and my friend got the Fancy Burger. 10/10! So juicy and flavorful. It was such a good vibe with lots of energy and a great place for a casual late nigh dinner. We also got the best seat in the house and the front receptionist was very kind. Would definitely come back!

    Food was great: salmon = lovely, pirogies = delicious, sausage = solid Would’ve like a wee bit more of “something” on the plate (salmon portion itself was perfect) Also- a vodka based seasonal cocktail drink would be awesome. Mocktail list looked fabulous.

    Butterjoint was a wonderful first (ever) meal in Pittsburgh. We enjoyed the blue fish pate (yum) and the delicious pirogi dinner. Services was top notch. Wishing the bread pudding had been served warm but it was still a great finale. We would certainly return again!

    Butterjoint is always a hit! The food is incredible, there's nothing you can order that will be bad or even mediocre. The atmosphere is top notch too. A lovely place to come whenever you want a nice night out.
