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.

I ca’t thank our server and the management enough! We were celebrating our daughter’s high school graduation! The manager created an easel with ‘paints’ for my daughter to paint since she is majoring in Art at NKU in the fall! She was also given a special churro tray and the presentation was made to look like a palette and there was a small easel created with a graduation wish! We will definitely be back! The food was amazing and so fresh and flavorful!
