About

Bar
Standing high above the city on the 10th floor of the Parisian on Vine building (previously City Club) , 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.

    The food was a mixed bag. The spinach artichoke dip stole the show, rich, flavorful, and perfectly done. Unfortunately, the steak was tough, and the vegetarian options were sorely lacking. Even the Caesar salad, supposedly a house specialty, fell flat in flavor. That said, the drinks were spot on, and so was the ambiance. Next time, we’ll stick to cocktails and appetizers, they’re clearly where this place shines.

    Brunch with a party of 8 on a Saturday afternoon. Service was incredibly slow - 3 hours for entrees and a couple rounds of drinks.

    The food so good and the views and atmosphere were amazing! Unfortunately the service was not very good. The reviews were pretty on par good food, mid service. We got our bar drinks after we had finished our meal. Our server was very friendly but seemed like she had a lot of tables. The crab cakes, steak and eggs, and bloody Mary’s were so good the only souring part of the experience was the service. Don’t come here if you’re in a rush.

    This place is GOOD! The chef is talented and the menu options are great. The views are excellent with views of the Ohio river and partial views of the downtown skyline. They even offer outdoor seating on the roof which is nice. The bar is well stocked with the usual overpriced cocktails plus some really inventive ones. We went on a Sunday at 1:30 when the brunch menu was still active. We shared a fantastic crab cake followed by beef rib ragu pasta and a salmon oscar. All the dishes were fantastic. It wasn't our first visit and it won't be our last.
