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.

    Everything was perfect, appetizer (shrimp cocktail), soup (butternut squash w/goat cheese) was such a comfort on a cold snowy day. The waitress (Kayla) was very attentive and engaging. She made good recommendations. We had a very nice relaxing lunch. Grand Concourse is one of my favorite restaurants and always a good choice.

    First time in Pittsburgh and wanted to try this place. My 10yo and I had the Beef Wellington for two, it was amazing. The Sargent pepper old fashion was made to perfection. The carrots and potatoes sides were undercooked twice. Still well worth the visit!

    Loved our dining experience here. Been here a couple of times and has never disappointed. Valet parking, friendly hostess, nice place for special occasions. The food is outstanding from start to finish. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. Have an extensive wine list and many nonalcoholic options available. I really enjoyed the meatballs, the winter salad, the beef tenderloin and the brown butter crème brûlée. My date enjoyed the calamari, the beet salad and the radiatore with duck confit. Overall, an excellent meal and would highly recommend this restaurant-one of the Burgh’s finest.
