While in town, I made sure to be the first diner to walk in! I had purposed to come to Greenville to try STIR restaurant. They have it all ready to go at 11am! Such a fantastic location, on the corner of McBee Ave. The building and setting is gorgeous inside and outside seating. Both very large areas that would be awesome for evenings out. I'll be sure to come back for that. I chose outside for the nice breeze out with lots of umbrella's for shade. I always feel cold inside restaurants and didn't have a sweater.. so I chose one of the long marble top tables outside. There is also a big tv for game viewing in a fully covered corner area. The bar opens up so it's accessible whether seated inside or out (photos). The menu has great choices. I had done my research beforehand since I was on a time crunch and ordered the roast beef melt.. which came with fries and au jus that was amazing!! I added a side of steamed oysters.. perfection!! These came with horseradish, cocktail sauce, red wine vinegar and oil for dipping. I ended my meal with creme brûlée that was better than one's I've had in Paris. It was topped with a perfect layer of flamed sugar, fresh assortment of fruit in whipped creme + a tiny crown of mint. The creme brûlée had a hint of lemon, making it over the top delicious. Austin B. Was my server and he was amazing. Really a great dining experience and with food being that amazing for lunch.. work felt like a vacation! Hope you go eat at STIR in Greenville.. so worth your time and convenience when dining downtown. read more

8 of us attended dinner here in June. Highly recommended by coworkers and was near the hotel. Ordered drinks and apps but before we got anything the waiter brought out 4 ketchups, 2 mustards and 4 soy sauces. I thought it was odd start and really packed the table with things we didn't know we'd need 'House oysters' were filthy. Muck, grit, shell in them. I have never seen such a thing except when I tried to DIY oysters for the first time. Everyone ran out of drinks (alcohol and water) and we were never refilled. Food came to the table but we were missing sides, a main, and a sweet tea ordered 45 minutes prior. Absolutely atrocious service and really underwhelming food. read more

Very spacious and open restaurant downtown Greenville. Caitlyn W and her trainee Sophie were amazing! There's a brunch bar with chicken salad, pita bread (seasoned and so good), pasta salad (dry), and various pastries, including a very rich and delectable brownie. Oysters were large and juicy. Ordered the country breakfast with eggs scrambled just the way I like, chicken sausage made in house with delicious herbs, cheesy stone ground grits, nicely fried potato chunks, and a biscuit that was hard at the top but fluffy inside. The espresso martini is on draft and pretty potent ha. Mimosas are the best price I've seen. read more

Great location, easy parking, tons of tables, fun vibe. The menu seems to change seasonally and they have options for everyone. We had a large party and they accommodated easily with two servers for the whole group. The atmosphere is great, I love the decor and the polished-casual vibe. The bar is so cool (that sliding ladder is what dreams are made of), lots of TVs to watch the game without messing up the chic decor. Indoor and outdoor seating and the bar opens up to the outdoors. The staff is very knowledgeable about their offerings, particularly the tequila. However, a dirty martini is maybe not the bartender's specialty. I was asked if I wanted it dirty, extra dirty, or "nasty." I said just a little bit dirty. It came "nasty." Womp womp. But they do have blue cheese olives, which is a huge plus! The oysters are delicious. Our group got 4 dozen. However, on one of the trays, almost all the ice was melted by the time it reached our table. Also both times I've been, they forget to put little spoons in the sauces that come with the oysters, but they never forget the crackers! For the rest of our meal, I got the shrimp and grits, my partner got the tuna poke bowl, and we split a Caesar salad. My shrimp and grits were delicious, tons of shrimp, nice presentation. Tuna poke bowl was good and the soy sauce was a nice addition. I love a Caesar salad, and the flavors on this one were great, though it was served on a very warm plate which was weird for a salad. Overall, STIR has so much going for it. I really, really want to love this restaurant, but every time I go it's missed the mark on some small but important things. It's new so I think this is just one of those where you've got to keep trying to work out the kinks. Hopefully they'll get there! I'm rooting for you! read more

Stir - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

First time here tonight with Friends and Family. I just have to tell you and everyone, if you haven't been to STIR yet you need to go. It's a new restaurant downtown Greenville across from Spring Street garage and oh my gosh the restaurant is beautiful inside and outside. The staff is wonderful. The food is absolutely delicious. I had ordered the grilled salmon best piece of salmon I have ever put in my mouth. It was absolutely phenomenal. My daughter had gotten the tuna it was so beautiful, it looked almost like a steak and it was delicious. We also had the steamed oysters, delicious fresh . Not hard or soggy, just perfect. My husband had the mahi mahi bowl, he was absolutely floored it taste so good my friend got the season special crab she said it was amazing not dry , just perfect . Anyway everything was delicious. Everything looked scrumptious. It was definitely spot on hands-down. This is probably one of the best restaurants in Greenville that has the most scrumptious and delectable foods ever. I recommend this to everybody. Their prices are reasonable for what you get the atmosphere is awesome. Kids are welcome there. There's inside seating outside seating they have outside seating with little patio fire pit areas. We were told to definitely taste the cheesecake. OMG it's to die for best cheesecake I've ever had, creamy very not rich just perfect. STIR it's not just an ordinary restaurant where people say oh the food was good. Oh this is ok and that is OK. No this restaurant actually make food that looks amazing , it also tastes phenomenal! And to be no anywhere near the ocean. Their seafood dinners are amazing.To be quite honest, I was amazed at this place. New restaurants come and go in Greenville. Everybody tries them but there's not a place like this in a long time. I have to say their food taste a lot better than Hall chophouse or Soby's . STIR is where it's at!! We enjoyed our dinner so much. We will definitely be back. Everything was outstanding for me. I'll give you five stars , 10 stars. It was so good and everything was perfect. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Stir staff. We will definitely be back! read more

The fries were like a 5 out of 10. Stuck together, nothing spectacular compared to what We have had in the past. Shrimp and grits 8 out off 10 ( a tad bit salty ) and lobster Mac 8-10, not really creamy. Service was fast and polite and the atmosphere was calm ( not a lot of people here on a Wednesday night ‍ read more

All categories 10/10! Very lively ambience, service exceptional and attentive and food tasty! I would specify next time that I like food served hot. We were there for brunch and potatoes as tasty as they were would have been tastier still if they were hot Cocktails were crafted with care and added to the experience!!! Will be back again!!! read more

TLDR: Decent service. Great appetizers. Subpar entrees. Super sweet cocktails - would recommend ordering beer, wine, or basic drinks like vodka soda. Would come again solely for the atmosphere - great indoor/outdoor bar with a lot of TVs. Came here on a busy Saturday evening. The bar is huge so there were plenty of seats available. If I could give this place 5 stars solely because of the raw chef I would! He welcomed us as soon as we sat down, he was super friendly and helped us navigate the menu. Unfortunately, both of our meals fell short of satisfactory. However, the atmosphere was spectacular!! I ordered the Salmon, medium well. It looks incredible in the picture but the inside was cooked rare. The outside edges were edible. It was a wrap once I bit into a piece of bone. As a picky eater, all of this freaked me out and I was no longer interested in the dish. The person I was with ordered the chicken piccata (not pictured). One important note is that her chicken piccata was breaded (fried?) which we both found to be a bit odd, she did not enjoy it. However, our whipped feta appetizer and parm fries were incredible!! Would come back here just for the atmosphere and a quick bite, not for dinner. read more

One star. My food was ok, but everyone else was disappointed in their food... mainly, everything was way too salty. The oysters were just OK, but the cocktail sauce was really good. The crème brûlée was absolutely terrible... it was greasy, and I didn't even know that was possible. read more

Came here with fellow colleagues for a dinner when they first opened and to say it was an experience would be one word. First, once we were sat they seemed confused on who was supposed to serve the table. Multiple servers stopped by and finally we seemed to settle on one. Now, we were given a rundown of all the things that make this place special including their ice. Yup, the ice. Cool, let's order this drink. Ten minutes later, sorry we can't make that drink we are out of this ingredient. Ok, how bout this one. Yeah, can't do that one either. Once we had several misfires on drinks we finally had some in hand to toast a long day of work. Next up, food! Our waiter recommended several dishes and we largely chose several from his recommendations. A few minutes later, he comes back. Sorry we are out of this and this. Proposes some ways to twist the dish based on kitchen feedback. Nobody was interested. Back to second choices. Those go in and, we wait. Finally the apps are out. Except one, it never shows. We place our primary order and similar story, they were out of a couple ingredients for two selections. We wait now, for ages. Needless to say, we were there for 2.5 hours and we didn't even have dessert. Fortunately we had plenty to talk about. Overall, the dishes were good, nothing amazing, nothing overly disappointing. The drinks were good, but felt a bit overpriced. The service and being 86/out of so many important items to function with a full menu was a clear sign they had frowning pains to work through. This place has potential but when we visited it clearly wasn't quite there yet. Check it out , YMMV!!! read more

Nice atmosphere, great food quality and attentive service. Our servers have been great and very polite. The shrimp and grits are fantastic and the portion is nice. The lobster and shrimp Mac n cheese was amazing and good portion. The Halibut piccata was something new for us, and it was excellent. So far, we are impressed with the consistency here. read more

Chloe was great! Overall, we had a great time at Stir tonight. The food and spirits were amazing!

Just had the most satisfying and delicious meal at Stir. Our server, Baylor, was very knowledgeable, kind, informative, and helpful. She was amazing! Food, equally as amazing!! It was challenging to commit to a single item as everything on the menu as everything sounded so good... Would highly recommend! read more

Stir - Halibut Picatta and Seafood Chopped salad! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

My first visit to Stir was at the Charlotte location where I tried only the Matcha Green Tea Cheesecake. It was one of the best desserts I've eaten this year. Therefore, I was excited when my sister chose to eat at the Greenville location for her birthday. Just like the Charlotte location, the restaurant was clean, stylish and modern. I started off with the Hemingway Daiquiri which was enjoyable, but the Mockstar Martini is what I truly fell in love with. It had a next level type of sweetness to it. In terms of food, I tried their Oysters Rockefeller, which was fresh, flavorful, and super tasty. My entree was the Lobster and Shrimp White Cheddar Mac and Cheese- immaculate. There was a good amount of lobster and shrimp while the dish was well-seasoned. However, what made the evening super dynamic was the level of service we received from Baylor. She was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu as well as entertaining. She made our visit memorable. read more

Hubby and I decided to try this spot out today after church. I had sent a couple of doctors from my office here for a recruitment dinner last week and I heard great things about it. It's only been open for five weeks so we were excited! We loved the atmosphere! The decor and the layout were modern and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. I'm not sure if free valet parking is offered every day but it was today and it was a great perk! We had a 15 minute wait which wasn't bad considering that the place was full. We were seated, the staff were very friendly and helpful. We came on a Sunday after church so they were serving from the brunch menu which had a lot of selections. I don't really drink but they had a nice selection of drinks and cocktails. Hubby ordered chicken and waffles and I ordered the country breakfast. The food was very good! Another perk is that they have a food bar with pastries, and fruit that comes along with your entree!! Over all we enjoyed it. My only complaint would be is that after we were seated we waited for 15 before our server came to introduce themselves and take our drink orders. But the server Haley profusely apologized for taking so long. She was very sweet and so apologetic that it was difficult to be bothered! We decided that we would come back to experience their evening menu and we look forward to it. read more

Stir - Cheeseburger egg rolls - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

I already had dinner on the plane but my husband had not. He decided on this place because he saw images of a steak looking good. It was pretty cool to see walking up to the restaurant that they had an inviting outdoor area. We had the option to choose as it was pretty loud inside. It was an easy choice to make to be outside. Those outdoor heaters were pretty strong making less relatively warm while we were eating out there. I got the dozen oysters to enjoy with my cucumber drink. The place is known for their creative ice. That is inside the drinks. The oysters were delicious and really hit the spot. I would love to come back and try other items on the menu. Our waitress was extremely sweet. read more

So tonight was the second trip to Stir for my wife and I. We went back specifically for a Halibut dish we got our first visit. It's that good. Anyhow, both of us are bartenders, so we usually opt to sit at the bar if possible. I'm glad we did. The oyster shucker, Kevin, was very knowledgeable, and just an all-around cool guy(we sat in front of the oyster bar). Although we've only tried 2 or 3 entrees and a similiar amount of apps, I'd highly recommend this place. Even entrees we haven't tried look awesome when they are being delivered to other customers. Check it out, and if you order oysters, tip your shucker. They won't tell you that, but, from someone whose done it before, it's definitely appreciated. read more

We grabbed seats at the outside bar and were lucky enough to be served by Kevin, who was absolutely fantastic. He was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel effortless. We ordered oysters and cocktails, and both were spot‑on -- fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want on a beautiful day in Greenville. The vibe outside was relaxed but lively, and Kevin kept the energy just right. We had such a great time that we're already talking about our next visit. Can't wait to return! read more

Good vibes and cute date night spot. Friendly service and good food. I would recommend a reservation if you can on a Saturday night because we had a hour wait at dinner time. People that came in after us had 1:30 to 1:45pm wait. The bar is first come first serve but we didn't want to sit at the bar. The cheeseburger egg rolls are fabulous with the house made thousand island dip. My husband and our guest loved the Tamalook (probably spelled wrong) cheeseburger. It was tender and seasoned well. Our daughter had the sirloin with goat cheese ravioli. Great choices! read more

Seems like a good place for a large group. My experience: entrees came out ~40 minutes after appetizers; two mocktails were on the menu and they didn't have ingredients for the one I ordered; I was brought a salad which had a similar name to the entree I'd ordered instead of the entree...we didn't have time for a re-do. We were given a complimentary slice of cake to take with us. The food was fine, but nothing special. With so many restaurants in the area, I wouldn't feel a need to go back here. read more

This place is great! The food, service & atmosphere is top notch! Our waitress Ariana made sure that our food was right and went over and above for my party. We liked the manager Joe.

Went to Stir for the first time to celebrate a birthday. We ordered cocktails and were super disappointed. I mean, if you're going to call the place STIR, at least bring your A-game to the drinks, right? Now for the good: Xavier was our server and he was fantastic! We had lobster crab cakes for appetizer which was so good! We ordered the oysters that were terrific! We had the tuna poke bowl which was very good and fresh. And lastly, we had the halibut piccata which was Delicious! read more

This was a fantastic experience! Upon entering, we were greater with smiles and friendly attitudes. Once we had been sat, our waitress Dejona approached us and gave a thorough explanation of the establishment and their specials. Once the meals arrived we devoured them. I assure you that you will be happy with the kitchen. They create everything, except the ketchup, from scratch. The quality from the service to the food has definitely raised the bar for other restaurants in the vicinity. Since we were on a lunch break, we did not partake in any cocktails. I would definitely recommend visiting this location. read more

We had the absolute best time at Stir! We were in town for my friend's birthday and this was one of many places we tried and by far my favorite of the trip. The oysters were on point (we got the dozen hose raw and char broiled) and I loved the mahi tacos. Drinks were delish as well. Our server, Baylor, was so sweet and incredibly knowledgeable. She gave us all the right recommendations and made the experience complete by singing happy birthday with us at the end of the meal. The ambiance was also super nice and we enjoyed the patio seating. Next time I'm in Greenville I'll definitely be back! read more

Unfortunately I wanted an eat for so long based on what it looked like from the outside. If you want to meet for drinks it's fine but don't expect a good meal. I ordered the seared tuna and from the first bite I could tell I was eating a frozen piece of fish that was not defrosted correctly. My friend has a burger that feels apart when she took her first bite. There are too many options downtown to waste your time going there. read more

Such a great brunch spot! Their cocktail menu lives up to the hype and we really enjoyed the complementary brunch buffet - it was cool to go grab some snacks before our food arrived (it had some really good muffins, cookies, dips and other snacks and treats). Our whole table enjoyed each of our entrees and split a mimosa carafe which was a great value! They have a great outdoor patio and cool vibe inside too - even had live music while we were there on a Sunday. Definitely will return for another brunch with friends! read more

We recently tried STIR in downtown Greenville for the first time, and it did not disappoint! I went with my son, sister, and daughter-in-law, and none of us had been before. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. The ambience has a fun, upscale vibe without feeling stuffy. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. The food was excellent overall. My son definitely won the night with the lobster mac & cheese -- absolutely delicious and the standout dish at our table. My daughter-in-law ordered the fried mahi bowl and wasn't overly fond of it, but it was still thoughtfully prepared and clearly high-quality, upscale food. Overall, we were very pleased with everything and would absolutely go back to enjoy another evening there. A great addition to downtown dining! read more

Betsy didn't just serve our table she served looks. ran the whole experience like a seasoned pro with main-character energy. Friendly, fast, funny, and somehow always one step ahead before we even asked for anything. Service was an easy 10/10. The food? Unreal. I would trust this kitchen with major life decisions. Now these cheeseburger egg rolls... whoever created those deserves a promotion and a standing ovation. Easily a 10/10 Between the amazing food and Betsy making me feel like VIP the whole time, this place absolutely earned a repeat visit. read more

Friday night in Greenville, we were looking for a lively spot with a fun atmosphere and decided to finally give Stir a try after passing by it several times. At first glance, it seemed like the perfect choice -- great indoor/outdoor bar setup, energetic vibe, and a busy crowd that made it feel promising. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. While the food presentation looked nice, the actual food was incredibly disappointing. Service was also very slow, and we overheard a staff member mention that the kitchen is too small and can only handle a limited number of orders at a time, which seemed to explain the delays. We ordered a burger and fries, requesting no sauce -- just cheese -- but it came out fully loaded anyway, and the flavor was just odd. I also ordered the spring trio, which included six oysters. They were the grittiest oysters I've ever had, completely flavorless, and the only appealing part was the toppings they used to try to cover them up. The sesame steak bowl looked great when it arrived, but honestly, it was one of the worst meals I've had in a long time. It's disappointing because the vibe and atmosphere here are much better than the food or overall experience. This place has so much potential, but based on this visit, it did not live up to it. read more

Me and my wife dined for for a Saturday brunch. The staff is wonderful, the hosts were sweet and courteous, our server was friendly and attentive, a different server ran our food to our table and she was super sweet. The restaurant itself is cute and welcoming while still feeling upscale. It walks the fine line of being casual but not too casual beautifully. My wife had the coffee and it was coffee, nothing too crazy. I had the pineapple mimosa and it was good, but I've never met a mimosa that I didn't like. We got the deviled eggs, and they were decent (we definitely had our favorites...the pickle and avocado). My wife had the country breakfast with fruit. she really enjoyed the fruit. She compared the eggs and bacon to hotel style brunch. The biscuits are beautiful and delicious. I ordered the shrimp and crab Benedict and added a side of asparagus. The shrimp is phenomenal and I never love fried shrimp, but this is the one exception. The potatoes are sub par. THE ASPARAGUS THOUGH!!!! I recommend getting it as your side for every meal. Honestly I would order it as just a meal, I have no shame. Overall, our meal had some stellar components, but also had a few downsides. Overall, It is definitely worth stopping in for. read more

Not even mediocre. Gave it a try a year ago when it first opened, figured the overly-salty food was just "nervous jitters." Second chance a year later proved nothing changed. Lobster & shrimp mac & cheese had nearly no cheese and was just dried pasta with exactly 2 shrimp and a couple lumps of lobster. The seared tuna was dry and flavorless. Creme brulee was eggy like an omelet. How is this place still there? read more

New restaurant in Greenville on the first floor of the Prisma building. You'd never know it was an old bank. Very nice and clean look-n-feel. Being new, the staff are still figuring things out, nothing to hold against them at this point. The omelette was really good. The home-fries were average. Entrees do come with a food bar which was a nice touch. read more
