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, nor allow outside 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.

    Husband and I went early on a Saturday evening (5:45p) to celebrate his birthday. It's a very cool setup with a unique ambiance. Our server was Jenna and she was very nice. There was a good mix of younger, middle aged and older people, which is always fun to watch. The live music didn't start until about 45 mins into our visit. I'd like to go back, possibly later at night when one of the more lively jazz bands is playing. The specialty cocktails we ordered were all around $15 each and were tasty (if a little heavy on the sweet and sour mix.) All in all, we had a good time. It was definitely a cool experience.

    Very cool venue. Music was good. Limited to 2 hours in the main room, and could have stayed longer. Great place for date night with fancy cocktails. Swanky!
