Greenville to Welcome STIR Restaurant in June 2025
STIR Restaurant, a new culinary venture, is set to open its doors in Greenville, South Carolina, in June 2025. The restaurant will be located at 214 East McBee Avenue, within the Prisma Health corporate office building, positioning it as a fresh addition to the downtown dining scene.
As the fifth location for the Chattanooga-based SquareOne Holding Company in the Southeastern United States, STIR aims to capture the attention of local food enthusiasts with a comprehensive menu that includes offerings for lunch, dinner, and a weekend brunch. The restaurant will house two bars, enhancing the dining experience for patrons.
With a focus on the foodie market, STIR’s menu will feature scratch-made dishes, emphasizing fresh seafood, high-quality steaks, and expertly crafted cocktails. The spacious restaurant will occupy approximately 6,100 square feet and offer around 420 indoor and outdoor seats. A unique highlight is an open garage door bar with 38 seats, providing an inviting atmosphere for guests.
Menu Highlights and Brunch Features
The menu will include six varieties of Atlantic Coast oysters and one house oyster, which will rotate weekly based on seasonal availability. Diners can purchase oysters individually or by the half or whole dozen from a dedicated cold bar section. Weekend brunch will feature hours from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and will include Southern favorites like shrimp and grits, lobster, crab cakes, and egg-centric dishes. To enhance the brunch experience, a jazz band will be added at a future date.
Design and Atmosphere
The interior design of STIR will echo that of the original restaurant located in Chattanooga, boasting high ceilings, wooden beams, and arched windows influenced by the historic Choo Choo Train Terminal. These elements aim to create a cozy yet upscale ambiance for diners.
The design also compliments the scratch-made kitchen philosophy, where steaks are butchered on-site and sauces and dressings are freshly prepared each day. This commitment to freshness and quality aligns with the restaurant’s mission to provide an exceptional dining experience.
Bar Offerings
At the bar, guests can expect a diverse selection of high-end spirits, with an emphasis on around 300 premium adult beverages. In keeping with the restaurant’s signature style, handcrafted cocktails will be prepared using ice carved from a 300-pound block of purified ice, promoting optimal chilling and presentation.
Company Background
STIR Restaurant originally opened its first location in Chattanooga in 2015 and has since expanded to include locations in Knoxville, Raleigh, and Charlotte. SquareOne Holding Company, the parent organization, manages nine other restaurant brands within the Southeast, including State of Confusion, Massey’s Kitchen, and Carolina Brewery.
Prisma Health serves as the anchor tenant for the new corporate office building at 300 East McBee Avenue, which is currently under construction. In addition to STIR Restaurant, the site will house Lima One Capital and various retail establishments, further contributing to the vibrant community landscape.
The opening of STIR Restaurant is anticipated to enhance Greenville’s culinary reputation, attracting food lovers with its dedicated focus on quality, craftsmanship, and a distinctive dining atmosphere.
