Jessica Gerke is the visionary founder behind The Lioness Lounge, an opulent, female-forward cocktail bar and dining experience in Hamilton, Ohio. As a proud mother of five daughters, Jessica has built her life around strength, grace, and empowerment—values that pulse through every inch of The Lioness Lounge.

What began as a dream to create a space where women could feel celebrated has transformed into a full sensory experience: rich ambiance, exquisite décor, delightful handcrafted cocktails, and upscale bites designed to bring people together. Jessica’s mission is simple—to cultivate an environment that feels magnetic, luxurious, and unforgettable. A place where elegance roars, conversations flourish, and every guest feels like royalty.

With her passion for hospitality and eye for detail, Jessica has created more than a lounge—she has created a sanctuary of beauty, connection, and elevated indulgence. The Lioness Lounge is her love letter to women everywhere, and an invitation to step into a world where confidence, comfort, and glamour meet.
