Stack Burger & Bourbon
About
Stack Burger & Bourbon, which brands itself online as Stack772 after the local Treasure Coast area code, operates on S Colorado Avenue a short walk from downtown Stuart’s main restaurant blocks. The restaurant describes its own concept as a place where passion is poured into crafting inventive burgers alongside a curated selection of bourbons, craft cocktails and an extensive beer lineup, positioning the burger and the bourbon list as equally central to what it does rather than treating drinks as an afterthought to the food.
On the sourcing side, Stack states its meats are fresh, all natural, organic, grass fed, free range and sourced from humane farms, a fuller set of sourcing commitments than most casual burger restaurants publish, and a detail that separates it from a standard bar burger built for speed over ingredient quality. Pairing that kind of sourcing with a genuine bourbon program, rather than a basic well selection, gives Stack a slightly more considered identity than its name alone might suggest.
Its location on S Colorado Avenue puts it near Oak & Ember Steakhouse and Roasted Record, part of the smaller secondary cluster of restaurants just south of the Osceola Street and Flagler Avenue core. For Stuart diners who want a serious burger paired with an actual bourbon list rather than a basic pub menu, Stack Burger & Bourbon fills that specific niche, and its downtown adjacent location makes it an easy add on to an evening that starts or ends closer to the historic district.
South Colorado Avenue’s small restaurant cluster, which also includes Oak & Ember Steakhouse and Roasted Record, sits close enough to downtown Stuart’s historic core to draw walk over traffic from Osceola Street while still offering easier parking than the busiest blocks of the historic district itself. Building a full bourbon program alongside a burger menu is a more considered approach than a typical casual burger spot, since a genuine bourbon list requires real investment in inventory and staff knowledge beyond stocking a few well known bottles. The detailed sourcing claims around grass fed, organic and humane raised beef put Stack in the same general category as other Stuart restaurants that have leaned into ingredient transparency in recent years, a trend that has become more common among the newer wave of independent restaurants opening around the South Colorado Avenue and Osceola Street area.
The restaurant’s name change and rebrand toward the Stack772 identity in its own online presence reflects a broader trend among newer Stuart restaurants of leaning into the 772 area code as a shorthand for local, Treasure Coast identity.
