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.

    There are many great places to hear live music, however nothing compares to Ghost Baby. Best venue in Cincinnati, hands down.

    Love this unique bar! Spring Star Pillow was the perfect sound for the vibe. There is no food. Something small to go with cocktails would be an improvement.

    Hi Pam, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. At Ghost Baby, we’re committed to giving our guests a memorable experience every night. We’re a unique venue, and while being 40 feet underground adds to the charm, it does come with certain limitations. While we don't have a full kitchen for preparing meals on-site, we make sure there’s always a great selection of drinks available. Our main focus is creating a lively atmosphere with delicious drinks and live music, so we’re glad to hear you enjoyed those parts of your experience. We look forward to hosting you again soon and thank you for your continued support! -Erin

    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.

    Excellent time in an incredibly cool atmosphere!!! Well-managed and terrific service! We had a great table for two very close to the stage. We only had cocktails and wine - all very good. We look forward to coming back soon.

    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.
