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.

Connor’s does a great job for those needing gluten-free! They ensure all food is cooked separately with new utensils to keep all gluten out of the preparation area. We know we will have safe gluten-free food.

Excellent. I was here once in June & loved it. Back in YN from Oakland CA to visit Dollywood at krismas with my husband & had to take him to the Dancing Bear. He thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope to eat hear again some day! This is the best spot you will find in this region of TN. Well worth the drive from Pigeon Forge area!
