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.

    It was chaotic and the servers/valet/chefs/reception personnel were handling it with Grace and patience. The food was awesome and the buffets were kept filled. It was a very special outing with a special group of friends celebrating a wonderful holiday season. I would highly recommend the grand concourse for any special occasion.

    The menu isn't extremely long, but the food is creative and excellently prepared. We had a new version of their chicken dish and I had the burger which was off the menu. Both were excellent. We also had wedge salad and beef tartar, all worthwhile.
