STIR is the perfect restaurant to sip a craft cocktail over a dozen oysters, enjoy a night out, or meet for lunch. Located in the heart of Old City, the restaurant is an open-air concept with a large, heated outdoor patio. We are open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch.

Great food starts with fresh, local ingredients. Our kitchen prepares everything from scratch, and our signature raw bar is stocked with fresh oysters and seasonal seafood. STIR is famous for craft cocktails. We freeze and carve 300-pound blocks of artisanal ice in-house, age certain cocktails in oak barrels for richer flavors, and place others on draft for crispness and carbonation. The result: categorically elevated cocktails. Our passion for fine spirits also compels us to find and share rare bottles, many of which are extremely difficult to procure. We welcome Knoxville to enjoy our unmatched cocktails, fresh seafood, and classic dishes in an atmosphere of genuine hospitality

    We were greeted and seated quickly. There was no need for us to make a reservation, because there were plenty of tables available. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. Our server was extremely nice. We ordered drinks but they were sour and had to be returned. The food was not exceptional. We ordered dessert. Appetizers and a main meal and they were just ok! Nothing that would bring us back. I am glad we tried STIR, but it will not be a place that I would recommend to others.
