About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
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 dinner, chicken in a puff pastry, was very disappointing. Mashed potatoes were dry. Chicken filling was good. Puff pastry was tasteless. Service was only ok. We won’t be back.

    Their hours are incorrect and even though we made a reservation when we got there they said they were closed and I informed them they ought to not advertise they are serving when they are not.

    We went there for my birthday dinner. My wife n I both ordered the center cut steak with crispy potatoes, grilled broccolini n borderlaise sauce and creme Brule for dessert. Service was great, food was great n perfectly seasoned. My wife's steak was cooked perfectly but mine was a Lil under. They offered to cook it a Lil longer but I declined. The creme Brule was delicious also. Wasn't too sweet like some desserts....

    This restaurant was great. The food was fantastic and the vibe was fun. Only two minor issues. The first one was we checked in a little early and they said they would text us when our table was ready. We never got a text. We checked back with them and they said they couldn't find our reservation which was strange because they found it the first time. Regardless, they sat us down. Appetizers took a little while to come out which was fine, but then dinner came out as we were still eating our appetizers.

    Sat outside at 7:15 in spring which was perfect. Only negative if you’re eating inside is the noise level.
