About
Certified by Shires' Rooftop • Feb 22, 2026
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.

- AUAnne UchtmanFeb 20, 20265.0Great experience. This restaurant went through some rough times but we had an excellent experience tonight. They have a new exec chef and I heard he was a saucier with Jean Robert so we were excited to try it again. There were 10 of us for my parents’ anniversary. My sister in law has celiac disease and my sister can’t do dairy or soy. Our server Brooke was absolutely great with the allergies and so was the kitchen staff. I had scallops and polenta and it was amazing. Most of their others ordered steak or salmon. It was all good. We also loved the spinach dip and I think a crowd favorite was the beef Wellington bites. It was all so good! Will be back for sure.
- ZBZ BowmanFeb 14, 20263.0The three stars are for atmosphere and service. That's about my only praise. We only had appetizers, so I cant speak for the entrees, but I was definitely not impressed. The beef Wellington bites were filled with some kind of pureed meat, covered in a soggy wet puff pastry, and salty as all get out. Sir Wellington himself would be rolling in his grave. The smoked filet flatbread was heinously covered in aoli, and there was almost no meat to be found. Don't be fooled. This is nothing more than overpriced, glorified bar food.
- SMSamantha MarshallJan 31, 20264.0My husband rented one of their outside greenhouse for my birthday. The server was amazing, took good care of us and yes the food was delicious. The only 2 things that put a bad taste in pur mouths about the place was they gave us a cinnamon toast crunch cream brulee, and made it seem like it was a treat from them for my birthday. Literally just brought it out and lit a candle and said enjoy! Then come time for the bill, they charged us for it!!!! Don't make it seem like its complimentary then charge you. Also, they automatically put 20% tip on our bill, no way to change it. We typically tip 20%, but never add the tax into that, so we were tipping that 20% on the tax, which they dont tell you. On the menu it says on parties 8 or more, but it was just two of us. Its the principal and it seemed scammy.
- DHD HardestyJan 17, 20265.0Food was fantastic! Staff was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere and the view was most enjoyable.
- CMCarlos MoctezumaJan 12, 20261.0Food is overrated, not good and the flavor is not that great. I would rather get food from Taco Bell. The manager was great, but food is not.
