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).

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.

    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!

    Beautiful space with kind servers and bar staff. The live music was really amazing, honesty the stand out. No food is an unfortunate but normal limitation. Cocktails were fine, honestly. Fair priced for the space and ingredients. Felt more like a fancy cocktail bar rather than a truly special mixing experience, but for casuals rather than enthusiasts it will be more than enough.

    Thank you very much for taking time to leave us your review. We strive to provide guests with an unforgettable haunt each and every night at Ghost Baby. It appears we fell short of this during your visit. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, 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. -Erin, Event Coordinator at Ghost Baby

    This is a great place with a great vibe but 1-2 tables in the music listening area are always loud and it’s disrespectful to the artist and other tables. If GB staff policed this more it’d be a 5/5 stars
    Ghost BabyResponded on June 11, 2025
    Hi Nate, Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the vibe and live music. We totally get where you're coming from. It's a tricky balance to strike in a space that celebrates both social energy and live performance. That said, we really value the experience of our artists and our guests who come to truly listen. Your note is a great reminder for us to continue finding ways to support that balance better. Hope we get to welcome you back soon for another night of great music and good vibes! Cheers!

    If I could go here every night, I would. The atmosphere is great if you enjoy jazz music. Drinks are a bit pricey, however, they are made very well. I got a number 4 and 9 - both of which were amazing.

    The Chaya Jones Experience was not great. The musicians were fantastic. Chaya Jones did not interact with the audience, stood and watched the musicians, walked off the stage leaving the band to figure out what was going on. I will go back to Ghost Baby but I won’t go when Chaya Jones is performing.
