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.

    Wonderful service, our waitress was attentive and helpful. The food was exceptional. Korean prepared snapper was delicious as was the Thai curry chicken. The latter portion was huge. We always love and share the crispy tofu as appetizer.

    What a magnificent dining experience!!! Every detail was fabulous. Chef is super friendly and laid back, nothing like the pretentious TV celebrity chefs. He uses advanced molecular techniques and pairs them with time tested artisanal methods like koji aging, freeze drying, and fermentation to achieve wildly delicious dishes that are works of art to the eye and palate! Tonight’s experience was cozy, comfortable, and exquisite. The beverage pairings were also spectacular. I’m excited to see how they continue to innovate and shine as a beacon of fine boutique tasting menu dining!!! Well worth the wait and will be sure to return! Bravissimo!
