   W did not have food. We did not understand why we had to pay $25 to make a reservation.

   The atmosphere at Ghost Baby was amazing. The staff was amazing and helpful from Big T at the entrance to the young ladies at the reservation host desk. Our wait staff, Maddie, was phenomenal. She checked on us often despite the place being very busy. Maddie provided us with some great cocktail selections. We will definitely visit Ghost Baby again in the future.

   Not sure why we’re being asked to rate food when they don’t serve any. But this is a unique venue with wonderful entertainment and amazing but pricey drinks. We loved the vibe. Expect to be asked to leave your table after two hours which was a bummer even though we ran up a $150 bar tab and spent more at the bar after…

   Great experience! Made reservations three weeks ahead of time and was in the front row.

   Unique and very beautiful spot. The host was very accommodating with out seating and the wait staff was amazing. Very cool place to visit and even better when Ben Levin plays! He brought guest performers - THAT was super cool.

   Edit: They updated after our visit! I really want to give Ghost Baby five stars, as the ambiance is exceptional and creates such a unique experience in Cincy. However, I’ve been here several times now, and I find myself hesitant to rate it that highly due to some recurring service issues. First, I’ll start with the reservation policy. While OpenTable specifies that reservations are guaranteed for 2 hours, I was informed upon checking in that our table was only reserved for 1.5 hours. This was confusing, so I asked our waitress about it when she came over to take our drink order. She wasn’t surprised by my question, as she explained that this happens often. She mentioned that she’s been advocating for them to update this information, but as of now, it hasn’t been addressed. For clarity, they only offer 1.5-hour reservations for the first two shows of the evening; every show after that is 2 hours. Since we had the second show, we were only allowed 1.5 hours, which was not clearly communicated when we booked. The waitstaff, however, are genuinely lovely. Our server was kind, attentive, and took the time to explain the situation to us. They also give you reminders toward the end of your reservation to let you know when your time is almost up, which is helpful, though it still feels a bit rushed. Another issue is the check-in process. After checking in at the entrance, there’s an additional check-in inside that usually results in a line. Even though we arrived early, this line has consistently cut into our reservation time by about 15 minutes. I understand they’re busy and doing their best to accommodate everyone, but this does affect the overall experience. In summary, Ghost Baby has so much potential with its wonderful ambiance and great staff, but these service inefficiencies—especially around reservation timing and the check-in process—really detract from an otherwise excellent experience. I hope they can address these issues to make future visits more seamless.

   Very tight quarters for group of 6. Why not post signs and have someone from bar ask for quiet while band plays? People almost screaming during performance to talk to each other, felt sorry for band. Also, why not pump in live music to other bar to hear more of them? We would have stayed after our two hour reservation time but bar had totally diff music playing so we left. Took our drink dollars elsewhere.

   Hi Chris and Michelle, Thank you for taking time to leave us your review. We strive to provide guests with an unforgettable haunt every night. It appears we fell short of this during your visit and that is never our intention. Sometimes it is easy to forget volume control while our lively bands are performing. We definitely want our music to entertain guests, but not hurt their eardrums. I'll be sure to really this information to our stage team so we can rectify this issue. We’ve intentionally designed the front and back rooms with different vibes in mind, as we want to create a diverse experience. We'd love to invite you back to enjoy one or both spaces. I would love to discuss this issue with you directly so we may fix it. Thank you so much and I look forward to speaking with you soon
