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

Our cold bar and kitchen offers fresh oysters from North Carolina and beyond, traditional Mexican and Peruvian ceviche, and classic entrees and specials, all prepared from scratch.

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 Charlotte to enjoy our unmatched cocktails, fresh seafood, and classic dishes in an atmosphere of genuine hospitality.

Ordered many appetizers and drinks - drinks were awesome had a cosmo, martini, old fashioned all were excellent. Best oysters - ordered a selection and all were perfectly shucked and served with a variety of sauces. Service was excellent we did go on a Monday night so the place was not packed. I’d go back for the oysters and lovely atmosphere

I love the relaxed feel of this place – I definitely would return for another occasion. We went for brunch and had the oysters, which were very good and as described. the shrimp and grits were very good, but not as expected. The grits were super creamy, the sauce was different than I had I the dish before. My friend had the chicken and waffles--which she loved. The wait service was good, although the the staff that took our names and seated us was a little less than friendly. Definitely a place I would go to again.

Cheeseburger egg rolls were great. The chicken samosas were not my fav - previously had the oysters (raw & Rockefeller) and they were great. Service was good. Will come back and try a few other food items. Love the decor - great outdoor area too! Have the garage doors by the bar so you can get a nice breeze when weather is nice!

Drinks took minimum 15 minutes to arrive at the table (including a round of wine). Was told some items ordered were no longer available, which isn’t an issue, however they then “found” the items, and brought after meal was served. Also never received salad ordered. Server was great, and directly addressed the issue, taking items off the bill before we even asked. Steak was extremely dry and cold, like it had been made and was sitting for a while. Specialty cocktail that was ordered was terrible, too much mix. Glassware for one of the rounds of drinks clearly not cleaned properly and had floating matter in the drinks. Second round of martinis clearly different tasting and not same gin as previously ordered. Did not seem well managed for a Saturday night. Bathrooms were also not clean.

I love coming to Stir! Always a cool vibe, very good quality food, and great drinks. I went with the Seasame steak bowl, which was very tasty and had a fried egg on top. My brother had the steak frites. We also had the charbroiled oysters (amazing as usual) and the cheeseburger egg rolls…also very good! My drink of choice is always the 1948 Margarita.

The waiter was not very attentive. We went long periods without a waiter coming over and two or three time had to ask other waiters to send that person back. When we got our food it was luke warm and my burger was soggy from all the mayo. I did ask for a change in bun which we received however the wait between us actually being served time from start to finish was upsetting.

Drinks - specialty cocktails were watery and classic cocktails were made incorrectly. Food - multiple items prepared incorrectly and/or with ingredients that we were told were not included (sensitivity issues). Service - waitstaff was flippant and forgot utensils and other items. Management - came to the table, and seemed willing to discuss concerns. Paid only for what we ate/drank. Overall - wished we had eaten somewhere else. Food that was correctly prepared was acceptable and raw oysters were good.

Our waitress was very absent, never cleared appetizer plates and dishes, never refilled our water. Brought us the check without asking if we wanted dessert, we did, but decided to pass after that. Food was hit and miss. My food was fantastic, my husbands medium rare steak was more medium well to well and his roasted potatoes had no seasoning. The drinks were amazing!

Only went for a drink and left because it took our waiter over 10 minutes to see us. And took 20 minutes to bring us a drink at the bar. Chose to eat elsewhere because of the service. Didn’t seem like others had the same service as us

They started cleaning up and even turned the lights all the way up while we were finishing our dinner. Server was nice but was busy doing his side work so we really didn’t get a lot of interaction. They should focus on their customers instead of just trying to leave work.

It’s probably the worst meal I’ve ever had in Charlotte. I had the avocado ceviche, which had a side of old fried -and not in a good way- plantain. It was just ok. Then the tuna poke bowl… you know how you can taste old rice? By old I mean not fresh, it didn’t taste bad, it was the consistency, like they prepared a whole pot of rice the day before and that’s why it was dry? Idk. It was just bad. I should’ve gone for the burgers since it’s more of a bar kinda place. But I figured if it’s in the menu, it would be good. Don’t make the same mistake! Waiter was also distracted, my husband asked for something specific dressing for his salad (nothing fancy, just ranch) and he got the salad with the original dressing. It was just a bunch of little things that convinced me to not go back there for an actual dinner. I bet it’s great for just hanging out w/friends while having drinks. Great location, too.

Less than impressed. For a “cocktail” spot - drinks were lackluster. Boyfriend had an old fashioned and the ice cube was so large, it didn’t even touch the liquor. Fortunately, a bartender asked if he could melt some of the cube down so that my boyfriend could actually drink his cocktail. No personality, and the flies around the bar left much to be desired. Food was fine, but don’t intend on returning.

Service started out good, but large tables came in and server disappeared. Ambiance is good- except noise level is high when many patrons are present. Food good- a little pricey.
