    We celebrated our anniversary and every person we encountered from the door man to the server wished us a happy anniversary! It really felt like they went the extra mile to make us feel celebrated. The music was great, not too loud. And you can’t beat the uniqueness of this speak easy. Will be returning!

    Ghost Baby does not have food, though there are a few snacks listed on the website. The ambiance and drinks were excellent. You do need a reservation to go inside the main area. I would highly recommend as a drop in spot before dinner.

    We went for their Valentine’s ticketed event and while the ambiance, drinks and service were amazing as always, we weren’t huge fans of the show. The musicians were very talented, but we didn’t really love the song selection or understand the seemingly randomly placed tap/soft shoe intermission between songs. We’ve been before for jazz music, and that performance was amazing! We were hoping for more of that sort of vibe. Still a fun night but we were hoping for something a little more moody like we experienced before.
    Ghost BabyResponded on February 15, 2025
    Hi Sydney, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the ambiance, drinks, and service—those are always top priorities for us. We completely understand that our entertainment didn't quite meet your expectations this time. While we're thrilled you enjoyed the jazz performance on your previous visit, we’re always experimenting with new styles and performances to keep things fresh, all while keeping our live entertainment complimentary to our guests. We’ll definitely take your feedback into consideration as we plan future events. Thank you again for your support, and we hope to see you again soon for a vibe that’s more to your liking!
