The Mobtown Ballroom and Café will host a Grand Opening Party on Saturday, April 20, 2024, to celebrate the official launch of daytime and evening offerings at their brand-new location at 30 W. North Ave. in Baltimore.
Formerly known as the Mobtown Ballroom, the Mobtown Ballroom and Café is inside Station North’s North Avenue Market. Following its successful soft opening, the Ballroom and Café will serve its food and coffee menus, in addition to sea treats shucked by the team from local and women-owned raw bar collective Galatea Oysters. Chef Jake Cornman’s brunch specials and full menu will also be available.
The festivities are free from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., featuring live music from Baltimore jazz artist Christie Macdonald and The Mel B. Trio.
In addition to adding a café, Mobtown has significantly enhanced its offerings as a music venue.
The evening portion of the celebration on April 20 will be a ticketed event beginning at 7 p.m., with live music from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Mobtown will host “James Brown vs. Tina Turner,” two sets of live music paying homage to the two legendary musicians. The evening celebration will also have an array of bar snacks and fine crafted drinks by bar manager Dave Cavalier.
Cornman describes the food offerings as “simple classics done right and from scratch.” He’s excited to showcase his sandwiches, salads, and soups, accompanied by a full-service coffee bar during the day. Evening options will include Ribwiches, fried chicken sandwiches, Frito Pie, and fried pickles, which can be complimented by Cavalier’s original and classic cocktails.
“The combination of a daytime coffee program and an evening events space is perfect for Station North, we think,” said Sarah Sullivan and Michael Seguin, co-founders of Mobtown Ballroom and Café. “It lends itself to the kind of community-based second-home feeling that we believe in and work to cultivate.”
