• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service • Cincinnati

Booked 41 times today

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.

I cannot say enough good things about CSK! The experience is amazing every time. My friend and I shared some small plates, and each one was outstanding: baked oysters, chili prawns, scallops and clams. It was a diving seafood extravaganza! We paired the food with delicious white wine selections which resulted in a scrumptious meal that did not disappoint. Brahim and Terek offered superb service that went above and beyond. We were treated like royalty, and cannot wait to go back!

The menu is small but well executed. Nothing was overly impressive but everything was well prepared. I had the chicken dish and the Italian Cobb salad. The salad was the star and was a unique combination of ingredients that all worked well.
