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.

    Fantastic food. Good service but somewhat slow based off the section. Still a great server and probably just a busy kitchen. Great view in the window room and the building is beautiful. Definitely a great price for the food and ambiance!

    Tuna tartare and octopus pairing set the stage for the evening. These appetisers set high expectations for what’s to come, especially the tartare, OMG. Then came the entrees of pork chops, Long Island duck and lamb shank. The meats were very well prepared, juicy and tender as it should be, lamb falling off the bone effortlessly .. irresistible! Topped off the meal with the peach cobbler - infused basil cream was rich and fragrant, and the butter biscuit, don’t take my word how good it is…

    It’s a great joint, no pun intended. It’s on rotation for us. The menu is not too big and they have seasonal items. My favorite staple is the fancy crispy chicken, when in doubt, I order it. Great ambience and the staff is superb. If you like cheesecake, order the Basque cheesecake. It’s insanely delicious.
