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

    My wife and I were very pleased with the service we received and the quality of the food. Brantly was a great waiter and checked on us regularly without being a nuisance. We will definitely be back. We started with an appetizer of Parmesan White Truffle fries. The appetizer was much larger than we expected to receive. My wife had the grilled caprese chicken and I had the blackened Mahi Bowl. We would both recommend these dishes.

    Excellent food, Excellent cocktails! Check out the specials before deciding on a menu item. I recommend the Elderflower/ginger cocktail. Service is attentive and friendly. Food comes out fast. My only caution is that it's a very big open space that can get loud, if you're trying to focus on your table's conversation.

    Our server Emily was spectacular. Her attention to detail was spot on. We especially enjoyed the jazz trio playing awesome Xmas tunes. The only suggestion is more hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict.....but the shrimp and grits were smoking good.

    The extra buffet included with order was surprising, but nice. The Charleston omlette was delicious. Server was attentive but not overbearing. Cost was a little higher than expected. Enjoyed the live music - that was a surprise fir brunch. Would go back again.

    Our favorite restaurant in Knoxville with another great experience. Service is prompt and friendly. Food is fabulous. This time we enjoyed the spicy tuna bites as a starter and then shrimp and grits and chicken caprese. Craft cocktails do not disappoint - favorite is Wild Moon Child.
