• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service • Cincinnati

Booked 32 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.

For the prices, I believe the portion sizes should be a little bigger than what they are. 17$ for three medium sized meatballs seems outlandish to me. When ordering the Cacio for 2, the pasta got cold within minutes of receiving it on the plate. Everything tasted lovely but I didn’t enjoy how cold the food got.
