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.

- TMTammy Moore5 days ago4.0The view is great and ambience was very cozy. Food was fine - relatively basic stuff but executed adequately.
- ANA NNov 11, 20255.0Definitely a cool spot to check out downtown! The views and atmosphere were great, along with the dishes.
- JCJeanette CraigNov 11, 20255.0For me? It was a great place to relax after a long day at work. Nice folks and great food.
- KKKathrynNov 3, 20255.0Just go - you’ll love. One of the few places in the city that you can enjoy your conversation without loud, intrusive, obnoxious music in the background.
- JSJazz StealthOct 21, 20253.0The 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.
