Our Rattle Room welcomes you when joining us 4 floors below Vine street. The Rattle Room does not require reservations and is seated on a first come first serve basis.

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 got very very lucky and got a last minute reservation for a date in the Den! Every staff member we came in contact with was sweet and seemed to be having fun :) Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking to have a unique and colorful night out. Drink options were plentiful, and I absolutely adored the #4 sour inspired cocktail

    I didn’t actually have food—so I can’t give an honest review but as a first timer, I absolutely loved it! I was late for my reservation due to circumstances beyond my control, and they were so considerate (esp because I did reach out and notify them when I realized we’d be late). But I would definitely come back and recommend it for others looking to have a different experience in Cincinnati! Great place and really great employees and service!

    W did not have food. We did not understand why we had to pay $25 to make a reservation.
    Ghost BabyResponded on 15 December 2024
    Hi Paula, Thank you so much for sharing your experience at Ghost Baby with us! We love hearing feedback from our guests, and we’re thrilled that you joined us. Just to clarify, we do not charge guests to make a reservation. However, we do have a cancellation policy in place which is agreed upon when making a reservation. If a guest needs to cancel, we ask for a 24-hour notice. If we don’t receive that notice, a $25 fee will apply. We hope this helps clear up any confusion, and we can’t wait to welcome you back soon for another great night of live music, good drinks, and a celebration of life!
