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.

    Always a good experience at Juniper Grill. The food is always solid and good. Our waiter this evening was over the top. I had the mahi-mahi sandwich which was very good. My wife had quesadillas and my mom had a burger. Everything is cooked the profession. Highly recommend this place.

    Met old friends for dinner...great atmosphere, service was exceptional, our waitress was so friendly and knowledgeable (I believe her first day with your group). She actually remade our french martini correctly. It was amazing. Wine selection was top notch. And that Menu!!! My goodness...can't get much better. Small menu's are my thing. We each had something different and they were all phenomenal.
