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 historic Chattanooga Choo Choo complex, 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 Chattanooga to enjoy our unmatched cocktails, fresh seafood, and classic dishes in an atmosphere of

Whenever we are in town, we always go to STIR. I couldn’t get us in for brunch, but lunch today was amazing. Our server wasn’t very attentive and even though the restaurant was almost empty, it took a long time to get our drinks and lunch. We will be back though!

We had a great experience going to the restaurant unfortunately, my steak was cooked blue instead of medium rare. I lost my appetite when I saw the raw meat. And when we received our dessert, it had a bitter piece of onion in it, they obviously didn’t a clean knife to cut it.

I think my 2 star rating says it all. I was visiting from out of town and found them online as highly recommended. As a Chef, I do not recommend.

It started out well, but then the bartender who was taking care of us took a break. We got ignored from there on out. We waited 10-15 minutes to get silverware for our next course. I tried flagging down several different people behind the bar to no avail.
