  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for groups
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.

    Great food, simple but elevated. My pork chop was delicious and huge! Great cocktails and service. Reasonable prices especially for the quality experience. Only complaint was it was so cold sitting near the windows/door, though it was freezing outside.

    Food was excellent. Service was very slow and very disjointed. Took a long time to even be acknowledged once seated and just some water brought (then just the liter was brought first…then glasses several minutes later). Soup for one and salad for another came out AFTER entrees and only 1 entree delivered at first with a big gap. Server realized this at close of meal and offered dessert on the house due to how service ended up, which was greatly appreciated as we had not complained but were certainly annoyed at the poor pacing. Definitely giving them a second chance as service was still friendly, apologetic and menu/food is excellent at a great value.
