• Cocktail Bar • Over the Rhine
Booked 38 times today
What a really cool 1st time visit to the Ghost Baby! Think cocktail lounge, speakeasy, and live music venue. Four stories underground in OTR! Chandler Carter was stellar. What a voice. Our drinks were excellent. I had the No. 6 Inspired by the Espresso Martini. Kelly had the No. 5 Inspired by a Lemon Drop. We shared the No. 10 Drink of the Week....excellent. Server Emma R. was the best! Fun and helpful with recommendations. No food is served. It's located on Republic Street. No sign. Look for the purple light above the entrance. You can walk down the stairs or take an elevator. Your table reservation is two hours, except on Saturday (1.5). We had a 5:45. Chandler was on 6:15-7:15. Eclectic crowd, ranging in all ages. Just a really cool vibe to the place. From the subterranean walls to crystal chandeliers and glowing neon lighting. Feels like you have entered a secret club. Staff/servers/hostess dress in Robert Palmer Addicted to Love black. We parked on the street a block away. Area is well lit. Can't wait to get back.

Our first visit to Governors House was nothing short of spectacular! After spending over a week in the Tuscany region of Italy, we were surprised to find such an amazing experience in our own backyard. Our server, Chris, made us feel right at home. We also loved reminiscing about our adventures in Italy with Jimmy, the GM. We look forward to a return visit in the very near future!

Food was delicious! Our server was great but the food came out in bits so some were eating and almost finished when the final meals were served. We were a party of 8.

We had an amazing experience. The Vick is a bar that serves appetizers. We wanted an actual meal and the restaurant below served more food but we wanted to stay upstairs at the Vick to enjoy the view. So they had a waiter from that restaurant (Iris) come up and serve us. They went out of their way and did not have to. Service was exceptional. Highly recommend.
