For Jeff Ruby, this is the steakhouse that started it all. In 1981, The Precinct was born in the former Cincinnati Police Patrol House Number 6.

This consistent, high level of quality and overall guest experience over 4 decades has endeared Precinct to celebrities, business people, families, and loyal diners alike.

Booked 13 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.

We loved Coppin's! We were celebrating our anniversary, and they took very good care of us the whole evening, from our pre-dinner drinks at the bar to the dinner itself. It's a lovely restaurant, delicious food, and top-notch service. We'll definitely be back.

Went for my husband’s birthday and this is probably the 3rd or 4th time we’ve done and once again another fantastic experience. Food was amazing, drinks, service. So impressed and is becoming one of our favorite places. The 6th and Madison cocktail is one of the best cocktails I’ve had in quite some time.
