About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for scenic views
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.

    Brunch on the rooftop patio overlooking the city was fantastic! To the chef who created the brunch menu ~ Chef’s Kiss!! So many mouth watering choices it was hard to choose. Tried the crab cake eggs Benedict and the short rib hash, both were incredible! Service was great. Will definitely go back next time in Cincy.

    We were a party of 6. While I understand that most of the diner’s may have been corporate tables, ours was for my son’s 19th birthday. This was specified during the reservation. However, no mention was made about the event. We had to remind our server it was his birthday. The server only checked in once. Which was the obligatory “how’s the food?” He took everyone’s drink order but forgot to ask me. I had to remind him that I needed a drink. Not sure if the service was sub par because we were not a corporate dinner or because we were the table of color and he thought the tip would be Minimal. Might I add, that it wasn’t even a full house. But he missed out in an extra $150. I have brunched here before, and the service was amazing. Which is why chose this for my son. This was a stark comparison against his 18th birthday which we had at McCormick and Scmick. Where the server never left our eyesight and the menus were specially printed with my son’s name and a special birthday note.
