Inside The View at Shires' Garden, an Enchanting Downtown Rooftop Bar

By on Mon, Jul 15, 2019 at 8:50 pm

The View at Shires' Garden, by Ignite Entertainment (owners behind Cincinnati favorites like Che, Butcher and Barrel, Lola's, The Birdcage and more), is located on the 10th floor of downtown's City Club Apartments. The 6,000 square-foot rooftop spot features an indoor dining room, an outdoor patio, two full bars, outdoor small and group dining and cocktail tables with impeccable views. The décor mixes modern furnishings with the style of the original Shires’ Gardens from the 19th century — a historic Queen City amusement resort of sorts in this same spot at Vine and Third streets. The View at Shires' Gardens, 309 Vine St., 10th Floor, Downtown, theviewatshiresgarden.com.

Longfellow's Other Room 109 E. 13th St. and Brackett Alley, Over-the-Rhine Attached to Longfellow, the bar's Other Room is a separate back drinking spot that has a large list of fluctuating rums. With the vibe of a '50s basement bar — where Desi Arnaz would perform but was managed by David Lynch — the rum curators and bartenders are more than happy to help you find a favorite new spirit from their global collection. The unassuming entrance is at 109 E. 13th and Brackett Alley along Longfellow's strip of side doors and windows, but can also be accessed by walking through the bar's bathroom hallway.
