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.
Explore offerings from Shires' Rooftop on 309 Vine Street in Cincinnati, with popular to start, greens, shires classics, and shires specialties available at this location.

Shires has inspired me to write. My experience was fit for a foodie and exceeded my expectations. The food, service and ambiance were all spot on.
Upon arrival, my friend and I received news that there would be a short wait for our table, so we grabbed a seat at the bar.
I appreciated their variety of craft cocktails and decided on the Smokey Harvest. Composed of Mezcal, apple cider and a delicious spiced demerara syrup, omgoodness! It was interesting, well-balanced and tasty. My friend ordered the Raven with rum and ginger beer as its main ingredients.
A little before both cocktails were ready, we were notified that our outdoor table was available.
Immediately stepping onto the rooftop, I knew that’s where I belonged. The view of the riverfront was stunning! It also helped that the weather was absolutely perfect.
Now for the food.
We ordered fried green tomatoes and spinach dip to start. For our entrees, my friend ordered a burger and I, the mushroom tagliatelle. My dish was phenomenal. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the hint of truffle sealed the deal.
The Reds won that night, so our experience ended with the beignets for dessert and fireworks.
What a perfect night.

The only redeeming value of this awful place is the rooftop view. The food was literally inedible and the service was awful. Save your money.
