Butterjoint is a cozy, laid-back French-American restaurant located in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood—just a short ride from many of the city's top music venues. Known for its warm ambiance, creative cocktails, and elevated comfort food, this casual spot has a neighborhood feel with a touch of sophistication.
Whether you're craving a juicy grass-fed burger, house-made pierogies, or a craft drink before the show, Butterjoint delivers with local ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant blends vintage charm with modern flair—think soft lighting, classic bar seating, and a menu that celebrates regional flavors with French technique.
Butterjoint is perfectly positioned for a relaxed bite before a show, with many popular venues just minutes away. Guests love the fast and friendly service, making it easy to grab dinner without stressing about curtain time. It's quiet enough to chat before the music starts but still has a lively, pre-show buzz. The menu offers comforting favorites and seasonal specials, and the bar is well-stocked for a quick drink or two.
Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight Butterjoint’s “incredible burgers,” “charming atmosphere,” and “attentive staff.” Diners rave about the locally sourced menu and say it feels like a “hidden gem” with “great food without the fuss.” The pierogies are a crowd favorite, and the rotating beer and wine list gets high marks for variety and value.
Some guests mention that weekend waits can be long, especially without a reservation. A few noted that the lighting is on the dim side for those wanting a brighter dining experience. Parking in the area can be tricky, so allow a little extra time if you're driving in.
Butterjoint is a perfect pre-show stop for concert-goers who want comfort food, relaxed vibes, and fast service—all just minutes from the music.
