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 was very disappointed in the chicken salad that I ordered. The lettuce under the chicken salad was wilted, the croissant that came with it was state, and the fruit on the side, while colorful, was not ripe. This was the first time I was disappointed in The Greyhound! Perhaps it was because it was the day after Christmas??

There is nothing on this menu that is not amazing. Starting with wine & bourbon lists, Then the appetizers. The charcuterie boards are varied and filled with different, unique tastes. Soups and salads are delicious. Weather its the Filet or the seafood or the burger and fires, you cannot go wrong..............and don't forget the housemade desserts. YUM!
