STIR

STIR sits in the heart of Charlotte’s vibrant RailYard district in South End, at 1422 South Tryon Street, Suite 130. The restaurant opens its doors for weekend brunch and a limited lunch‑dinner service on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., offering a sleek industrial interior with an expansive patio that overlooks the bustling rail‑yard streets. Guests are greeted by a raw bar stocked with premium oysters and a rotating seafood cold bar featuring seasonal scallops, shrimp, and mussels, all sourced locally whenever possible. The kitchen crafts New American classics such as the Seared Tuna Salad, Shrimp Panzanella, and a decadent Scallop & Shrimp Mac & Cheese, each prepared from scratch with high‑quality ingredients. STIR’s signature cocktails are built around 300‑pound blocks of artisanal ice, house‑made bitters, and freshly pressed juices; the bar even ages select drinks in oak barrels and serves others on draft for a crisp carbonation. Rare spirits like 23‑year‑old Pappy Van Winkle and 18‑year‑old Whistlepig Rye appear on the rotating menu, delighting collectors and casual sippers alike. The brunch menu includes classic Bloody Marys, sparkling mimosas, and the Watermelon Pickled Tomato Salad, perfect for a sunny patio sit‑down. Prices range from $12‑$18 for small plates to $30‑$45 for main courses, positioning STIR as an upscale yet approachable dining spot. Reservations are accepted via OpenTable, and off‑premises catering is available for corporate lunches. Whether you’re seeking a refined cocktail experience, fresh seafood, or a relaxed brunch, STIR delivers a community‑focused atmosphere that celebrates Charlotte’s culinary creativity.
