4 stories underground hidden on republic street is our speak easy known as ghost baby. Reservations are required but they do take some walk ins to the main bar only.
There are no signs for the entrance, just look for the purple round lights on the building. The windows are tinted, and when the door man sees you looking that way or walking up to the door they let you in. You wanted speak easy… that’s what you get.
There is an elevator to go down but I recommend walking. It’s an entire experience.
Cincinnati underground is really amazing you won’t be disappointed
