Ghost Baby

Ghost Baby is a must-visit in Cincinnati! This speakeasy has the perfect moody vibe—dark, intimate, and full of character. My best friend and I stopped in during our girls trip, and it did not disappoint. We had reservations and were seated right away. The staff was incredible—super friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all our questions and gave great drink recommendations. And let me tell you, the cocktails were delicious! If you’re looking for a cool, atmospheric spot with amazing drinks and top-notch service, Ghost Baby is it.

Really incredible experience at Ghost Baby while visiting town this past Saturday. We made a reservation well in advance and timed it with a great performance. The drinks were great, we ordered the same round. We were celebrating an anniversary and they brought us really cute espresso martini shots in edible chocolate shot glasses. Our table was front row and the sound for music paired with the ambiance of the historic tunnel was just overall a great unique experience for us. Will be coming back!

Ghost Baby is completely adorable!!! It’s a speakeasy in Cincinnati that has a long history back to prohibition where alcohol was transported underground. We wanted to check it out but couldn’t get reservations (short notice). We went about 5pm on a Friday. The Rattle Room is where we entered. It was a cute bar with wrap around couches around the whole room. The menu has a variety of fun cocktails and beers. Logan, the bartender was helpful with recommendations and made delicious drinks. We will definitely go back and have drinks in The Den. It’s in the back, just through the curtains, where they have a bar, tables, and live music that starts in the evening (I think about 6pm). It’s a fun date night place or a nice place to take out of town guests.

First of all... love the guy at the door. He brings the positive energy. We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday and walked over a little before 900p. We were told walk-ins were allowed in at 915p. People started lining up along the wall. We gained entry and descended the stairs. The space is unique and embellished well. The bar steals the attention from the room...and rightfully so. Everyone working was friendly. Great cocktails. It's a busy place. If I was in the city longer, I would have preferred to go outside of a peak time. Come as you are... and be respectful. Well worth the visit!

We’ve been meaning to check this place out for a while, and it definitely lived up to the hype! It’s a true speakeasy in every sense - underground(literally), intimate, atmospheric, and centered around a fantastic live music experience. A reservation is a must if you want to be seated in the main room with the performance; otherwise, you’ll only catch the music from across the hall. The cocktail menu is impressive, the staff warm and welcoming, and the vibe was just right. All in all, a memorable night out!

Immaculate vibes. Saw a wonderful burlesque show put on by Queen Bee Cabaret! Drinks were fantastic and the staff were charming and accommodating. Look forward to going back in the future.

Always best to make reservations at this popular speakeasy-style lounge. The intimate atmosphere is perfect for live music. Service is excellent. The bar has all kinds of spirits and they make great cocktails (including spirit-free mocktails). The beer selection is solid. Make sure to check their calendar and OpenTable to enjoy their large performance hall (The Den). The opening acts (6-8 pm) provide a more chill vibe, while later headliners (8-1 am) take the energy level up a few notches. Located a couple blocks from three streetcar stops (12th & Race, 12th & Vine, 14th & Elm), it's near Washington Park and popular restaurants in OTR. Pro tip. The elevator is through the doors to the left of the stairs and security.

Ghost Baby was an amazing experience. I was there on Friday, 06/20/2025. The #10 drink featured ube. It was so delicious! All of the drinks were expertly crafted. Our waitress was lovely & made sure to check on us often. The live music was great, too! If you want to sit down without a wait, reservations are the way to go. Don't miss out on this place! Thanks for reading my review. Have a great day! 🙂
