Ghost Baby exists to rattle the extraordinary. Our cocktail lounge and music venue claims a 170-year-old space that once served as a lagering tunnel for a brewing company. Come as you are and enjoy an inventive cocktail, a stiff drink, your favorite canned beer, or a glass of our hand-selected wine. Reserve your spot for an intimate, unique performance in the Den or join us in the Rattle Room (front bar) on a walk-in basis.

    I was really bummed because I had made a reservation (specifically at 6 so we would see the music at 6:15) and I wanted my out of town friend to see a cool Cincy place (I had a good experience here on a weeknight recently). We arrived on time and stayed in sight but we were told to wait for our table to be ready and the hostess would come find us. The hostess never came and got us, so after 15 minutes we asked about our table and the manager was rude and implied it was our fault that we weren’t seated. We ended up at a table with the worst view. The waitress was very nice and prompt, and the musicians were good! The drinks were tasty but expensive.

    Hi Caiti, Thank you again for all of your time in leaving us a review and your understanding. We aim to provide every guest with an exceptional experience, and unfortunately, we didn’t meet that standard during your visit. I hope I was able to help resolve some of the issues on our phone call. Your honest feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we would love to have the chance to host you again in the future. If you see us fully booked on OpenTable, don’t hesitate to reach out directly—I’m always happy to help. All the best, Erin

    Shout out to the whole team!! From the lovely door man, to the hostess, management, server (Maddie) & bartenders. Drinks were the best I had all night. Wishing you guys all the success! As an interior designer, the ambiance was amazing. The fringe on the lamps, the drapes and lighting were perfect.

    Great venue, music, service and may be the coolest place in Cincinnati to spend a couple hours. My birthday with adult family members was a real treat. Friendly from first greeting to the end.

    This was my 6th time visiting ghost baby, and it definitely won’t be my last. I really enjoy the music, the ambiance, and the fun drinks. This is hands down my favorite bar in the city, and I look forward to my visit every time. Ghost baby is such a unique experience, and the talent is always upbeat and interesting.

    Ghost Baby never disappoints! Especially when QueenBee Cabaret is there. The band and dancers absolutely blew us away! The drinks are delicious and the staff is friendly. We had such a great time celebrating my birthday. Highly recomment the burlesque show on the third Wednesday of the month.

    Drinks and service were good but band was not enjoyable. This has occurred in the past and bands are not good.
