917 Cathedral St, Baltimore, MD 21201

Root City Kava Bar & Lounge bills itself as Maryland's first and only dedicated kava bar, a completely alcohol-free botanical lounge in a three-story historic building on Mount Vernon's Cathedral Street. Under new ownership, it serves traditional kava — your first shell is free — alongside kratom, teas, and botanical mocktails built on functional mushrooms, adaptogens, and herbal blends. The ground floor runs as a kava cafe, with a lounge for live music and events above it and a retro arcade gaming room on the top floor. It keeps genuine late-night hours, open until 2 a.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and fills the calendar with trivia, open mics, comedy, and wellness nights — all, as the bar puts it, powered by plants, not booze.
