About this restaurant

  • Great for live music
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
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.
Reservations are recommended and prioritized for our Den. If you have a reservation, please check in with the host at the front door before waiting in line. Reservations in our Den will be held for 15 minutes and are a total of 2 hours long (Excluding Saturday reservations before 6:30 which are an hour and a half).

We do not serve food.

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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Ghost Baby offers a "cool speakeasy vibe" with "amazing cocktails" and "unique live music" in an atmospheric setting reminiscent of "European catacombs." Guests rave about the "exceptional service" and a "memorable experience," although some note the absence of food options. Perfect for "date nights" and special occasions, reservations are recommended.

    Extremely loud. Not enough space for the amount of people. Music was fine but not worth going back

    We aim to provide every guest with a unique and memorable time, and we apologize for missing the mark during your visit. We are disappointed to hear you didn’t enjoy our band. We appreciate you mentioning the live music, as we try to offer a diverse range of performances to suit different tastes at no charge. 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. We post our live music schedule on our website, and we'd be happy to help you plan your next visit around a night that better aligns with the style of music you enjoy. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to ensure your next visit is exactly what you're looking for. We hope to welcome you again soon! -Erin

    Thank you so much for all your feedback. We apologize for missing the mark during your visit. We appreciate you mentioning our live music, as we try to offer a diverse range of performances to suit different tastes at no charge. Mic Carr performed at 8:15-9:15pm and 10:15-11:15pm on March 8th. Being sat at 9:30pm would have been right after they performed their first set, but they started back up at 10:15pm. We post our live music schedule on our website, and we'd be happy to help you plan your next visit around a night that better aligns with the style of music you enjoy and their show times. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to ensure your next visit is exactly what you're looking for. We hope to welcome you again soon! -Erin

    The food wasn't poor -- because there is no food, but you need to include a food rating. But the cocktails and ambiance are both amazing!

    No food, but drinks were fun. Extensive whiskey/bourbon menu for those that enjoy that beverage. Live music was great. A Latin jazz vibe that worked well with the unique setting.

    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.
