a month agoGreat vibes, amazing drinks, and attentive service too. The buzz button in the #4 was a unique experience. Absolutely loved their rotating cocktail as well. Others got the espresso martini and it was very well balanced. The cocktails were all around $14-$16 which felt like a total deal given the quality of the entire experience. I highly recommend getting a reservation to sit in the main area.

3 months agoThe most thoughtful cocktail menu I have ever seen. Each drink was made with precision and creativity that you truly get captivated by the experience. We sat on the bar and got to see all of the different drinks being made which was fun. They had live music playing which started around 6pm on Friday night. Every drink we tried was fantastic, the house old fashioned and house “sour” were our two favorites. You definitely can’t go wrong with anything you order here.

3 months agoAs a part of my Sperm Donation World Tour of the USA, Arriving in the city I stopped by here, doorman and bar tenders were very nice, I had a drink in each room. The door lady for the 2nd room would only give me a bar seat as didnt make reservation despite common sense suggesting Australian travellers just come in on a whim from the otherside of the world, just give the ally a table if you got room. Despite that loved the vibe of the joint.

3 months agoPOV: You just found the coolest "secret" portal in the Midwest. 🎙️🍸 If you haven’t descended the four stories into these 170-year-old lagering tunnels yet, stop what you’re doing and book a reservation. Ghost Baby isn't just a bar; it’s a full-blown sensory experience. The transition from the streets of OTR into this velvet-drenched, subterranean sanctuary is legendary. We were seated in The Den, and as you can see from the video, the live music is world-class. The acoustics in these tunnels do things to live vocals that a standard venue just can’t replicate. It felt like being in a secret jazz club in the 1920s, but with a modern, high-end edge. Why this spot is elite: The Ambience: Crushed teal velvet, dim chandeliers, and zero cell service. It’s the ultimate "unplug and actually talk" vibe. The Drinks: The cocktail program is pure chemistry. Whether you’re going for a heavy-hitter or one of their sophisticated spirit-free drinks, the presentation is 10/10. The History: Knowing you're drinking in the old Champion Brewing tunnels adds a layer of Cincinnati soul you won't find anywhere else. Huge shoutout to the team for maintaining such a high level of swank and mystery. This is officially my go-to recommendation for anyone visiting Ohio who wants to see the "wow" factor of Cincinnati. Pro-Tip: Dress to impress—the aesthetic here is too good for a basic fit.

6 months agoI visited this spot after a work dinner and it exceeded my expectations. Upon arrival, a doorman was there to ask if I had reservations. Although I did not, he opened the doors to me and invited me to take the elevator or stairs down. The place has two sections- you walk into an area with a large bar in the middle and seating at the bar and bench seating all along the wall. Since I did not have a reservation, I sat and did some people watching, listening to music as well. I asked the woman at the speakeasy door about reservations for one when I visit in the future and she just so happened to have a seat free at the bar. I grabbed my martini and sat down and almost immediately, the bartender Malacki dropped a glass of water. SUPER attentive and friendly! He also made one of the best daiquiris I’ve ever had. The whole place, especially the speakeasy section was such a vibe. I loved the band, the drinks, the ambiance and the guest service. It’s at the top of my list when I visit again!
