STIR to bring elevated dining and craft cocktails to North of Broad District in downtown Greenville this June
May 7, 2025
SquareOne Holding Company announced its plans to open STIR Greenville in the North of Broad District in the heart of downtown this June. Featuring made-from-scratch cuisine and a refined cocktail program, the new concept will be SquareOne Holding Company’s fifth STIR location, joining Chattanooga, Charlotte, Knoxville and Raleigh.
STIR offers a unique guest experience where artisanal ice takes center stage. Each 300-pound block of crystal-clear ice is frozen in-house and hand carved daily, with every cut tailored to specific cocktails to control dilution and enhance flavor. STIR’s cocktail program includes more than 300 premium spirits, house-made syrups and cordials, and a curated list of vintage wines crafted by a team of expert bartenders.
The oyster and raw bar features a rotating selection of premium Atlantic Coast oysters and a signature house oyster, along with seasonal seafood dishes, including impressive seafood towers designed for sharing. STIR’s made-from-scratch kitchen draws on globally inspired techniques using fresh, seasonal ingredients to create high-quality dishes. Weekend brunch highlights modern takes on American classics and handcrafted $5 mimosas and Bloody Mary’s, in addition to a cold bar with fresh pastas and salads.
The new 6,000-square-foot restaurant will be part of the 300 E. McBee Avenue building currently being redeveloped by Hughes Commercial Properties. STIR will have the capacity to accommodate more than 400 guests and include an expansive, dog-friendly patio and open-air bar with roll-up doors. STIR will be open daily for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. Hours of operation will be 11:00 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday; 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. on Fridays; 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. on Saturdays; and 10:00 a.m. to midnight on Sundays. Brunch will be served from 10:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday.
SquareOne Holding Company announced Montario Washington as the general manager of STIR Greenville. Washington has nearly a decade of experience in restaurant management, having served various roles for STIR Chattanooga as well as nearby sister restaurants, State of Confusion and Massey’s Kitchen. Washington also brings strong experience in customer service as well as overseeing craft cocktail programs.
“I am excited for STIR to make its mark in Greenville as the city’s culinary scene continues to flourish,” said Washington. “Through a focus on guest experience as well as differentiators including a truly exceptional weekend brunch, made-from-scratch dishes, and a unique craft cocktail program built around artisanal ice, we hope to leave a lasting impression on each patron who visits STIR.”
In addition to in-house dining, STIR Greenville will offer semi-private event spaces for corporate functions and special occasions, as well as offsite catering. Through SquareOne Holding Company’s SquareUp Foundation, STIR will donate a portion of its opening week proceeds to support Clement’s Kindness’ mission to meet the medical, emotional, and financial needs of Upstate families impacted by pediatric cancer.
