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.

    H & I had a day date and we decided to try this place out after visiting the Carnegie 59th International. French onion soup and pierogis were legit. Kimchi also was not too bad - I wasn't mad about it. IMO, some places in PGH cannot get their kimchi down. We will be back to try the vinegar pie. Everything from service to food was exceptional, including my paper plane cocktail. Just wish we checked this place out sooner!
