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

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.

On every count, Connor's is consistently one of the very best restaurants in Knoxville.

Food was excellent, waitress was knowledgeable and attentive. Noise was a little louder than we usually encounter at Chop House but this was due to a party of about 25 celebrating a college graduation. We had absolutely no complaints with our dining experience.

Tammy is a spectacularly great server! She is super attentive and so fast. She reminds me of a football quarterback continually glancing for an open receiver, looking at each of her tables!
