• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service • Cincinnati

Booked 18 times today

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.

Another fabulous meal at Jeff Ruby's. We always go for the holiday lunch and this year was as wonderful as ever. The decor, the food, and the service make it a nice way to enjoy the holidays! Umit and Alex were spot on with the service.

As always, Somm Wine Bar and Kitchen hits the mark. We took friends from our “East End” neighborhood just outside of downtown and what a “win”. Such an easy route, there in minutes, avoiding delays of other more complicated rates, especially now. Somm is top notch. I’m betting you’ll be excited about this one. We loved everything about our evening.
