• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service • Cincinnati

Booked 23 times today

Standing high above the city on the 10th floor of the City Club Apartments, at 309 Vine Street; resurrected from the history that has stood here before our time, Shires' Rooftop is inspired by the first amusement resort in this part of the country, Shires' Garden. Though the original Shires' Gardens burned to the ground, "in a most picturesque fire," the legacy that was left behind is everlasting and an integral part of the Queen City's history. The creation of the Matinee Performance, the regal guests Shires' hosted, an unsolved murder and other noteworthy events that took place at the original Shires' Gardens, are an inspiration to our program that we look forward to sharing with you.

Amazing experience. Our server Dustin was very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. From drinks to apps to desserts. We couldn’t have asked for better food or service. The manager Ashley stopped by and checked in on us and was very friendly and sweet. It’s was a nice touch. We will definitely come back to this location again. So many good things to say about this dining experience. Book your reservation, you won’t be disappointed.

Our first time here and definitely worth the trip from Fairfield. Server Holly was great, we followed her recommendations on wine and food and she was spot on. Especially loved the mushroom risotto. The jazz combo was perfect, added a great vibe without disrupting table conversation. Can't wait to go back.
