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.

A very creative food experience. We had the Pickle platter, and the Vegie Pierogies with cheese. Combining old traditional with new creative tastes and pleasures! And of course wrapping up with Vinegar Pie - how can you not? Also, the place was filled with young people - so happy to see them all there!

The two of us shared a salad and a pepperoni pizza. That was plenty of food for us. Instead of a few big slices of pepperoni on the pizza it had many, many small diameter pepperonis on the pizza. It was really good, if a little salty.
