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.

    My friend and I came in for the first time and had such a wonderful time! The cocktails were exquisite and the sushi was such good quality. The ambiance is great despite not having tables and only bar seating. Definitely will be back!

    We had such a lovely evening at Fish Nor Fowl! The service and hospitality were truly top-notch—every staff member we interacted with was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. It was our first time dining on the patio it was a great spot to enjoy the evening. The cocktail and wine selection is exceptional thoughtfully curated and full of unique choices. The food itself was delicious—creative, well-prepared, and satisfying. Overall, an incredible experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back soon!

    Great spot in Aspinwall especially when weather is nice, outdoor seating is terrific. Always updating the lunch and dinner menus which I think is great. They do use a lot of fresh local ingredients which is also a big plus.
