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.

    The drinks were not craft cocktails. More like cough syrup. Not good at all, I do not mind paying $16 for a cocktail, but I would prefer to enjoy rather than leave it half touched on the table. The band was sad, the drummer could not keep time, which messed up the rest of the musicians. We were given 2 hours for our reserved table, left after an hour.

    It’s a really nice vibe in there. I think the drinks are overpriced and a little stingy with the liquor. It would be nice to have food / tapa options.

    Hi Gina, 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. We understand your thoughts on the pricing and portion sizes. Our goal is to provide a curated experience, and we’re constantly reviewing our offerings to ensure we’re delivering value while serving responsibly. As a venue, we are not a restaurant.

I wish it was a way to know when this will happen so we can enjoy the music . The service was so good . The drinks were good . Smoked ol’fashion and lemon drop . Tasty. Server was peppy and bright . Overall I enjoyed .

    Hi Lakisha, 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. Our Open Table reminds all guests that "Each reservation is guaranteed 2 hours, excluding Saturday reservations earlier than 6:30pm which are 1.5 hours." We give our artists breaks throughout the evening to ensure a balanced experience. Our goal is for each reservation to enjoy one hour of complimentary live music, followed by an hour of relaxed conversation with friends. Please let me know if you'd like to join us again as we'd love to rectify this issue. We'd love to host you! -Erin
