Stem & Vine is a Black-owned plant shop, wine and spirits bar, art gallery, and event venue at 326 N Charles Street in downtown Baltimore.
You walk in off Charles Street and the temperature changes. Plants arranged by the regions they come from. Art on every wall. A bar that treats a pour like a story worth telling. And behind all of it, three rooms you can rent for a night of your own.
Founder Quincy Goldsmith is a former metallurgical engineer and a trustee of the Baltimore Museum of Industry, which is why the STEM in our name isn't a stretch. Our plants are organized by region of origin, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Australia, and our drink program centers Black-owned and women-owned makers. Both trace back to the same communities, and that story usually goes untold. We tell it every day.
A plant bar is exactly what it sounds like: a shop where the plants are the room and the bar is part of the visit. Each side of the house carries its own weight.
Houseplants, by region
Houseplants only, arranged by where they come from rather than by price or size. No outdoor stock, no nursery trees, no cut flowers. If you're new to this, say so at the counter and you'll leave with something that suits your light and your habits.
We don't ship and we don't sell online. Plants go home with the person who picked them.

Wine, spirits, zero-proof
The Botany Bar pours wine, spirits, and a zero-proof list built with the same care. The bottles lean toward Black-owned and women-owned makers, many of them Baltimore's own.
Come in for a glass, or put the whole program to work at your event.

Original work, always changing
Every wall carries original work, and it changes as the artists we show change. The Gallery doubles as a room you can rent, so Thursday's opening can be Saturday's birthday.
See the current walls in the gallery, or read what has been written about us on our press page.
Yours, or ours
Two things happen here. Collaborators run their own nights in our rooms, from tastings to markets to movement classes, and those land on our events calendar. And you can rent a space for something entirely your own.
Hosting somewhere else? We'll travel. See mobile bartending in Baltimore.
Yes. Three rentable spaces, two of them with their own bar, so two events can run at once without crossing paths. Rates are published in full, and the number you see is the number you sign.
Workshops, tastings, and meetings for up to 18. Quiet, focused, and steps from the bar.
Open sky in the middle of downtown, with its own bar and its own entrance.
The whole front of the shop, all yours for the night: bar, gallery, and greenery.
All three of our spaces, exclusively yours. The big one, for the big night.
You can host a party, a corporate gathering, and even a wedding. See our pricing here, and gift cards here.
Every rental comes with the greenery.
That part isn't an upgrade.

We hosted a launch event for our startup bringing together tech ecosystem leaders from Baltimore and beyond. S&V provided amazing service, a signature cocktail, and an elegant setup. We were blown away by the staff.

No. We don't sell plants online, we don't ship, and we don't deliver. Every plant goes home with someone who came in and picked it out, which is also how you get the guidance that comes with it.
Stem & Vine carries houseplants only, with no outdoor or nursery stock, and the shop doesn't do florist work or cut flowers. Houseplants at the Charles Street shop are arranged by the region they come from, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Australia.
Yes. The Stem Room holds 18, the Courtyard and Greenhouse holds 30, and the Botany Bar, Garden and Gallery holds 75. A full buyout gives you all three of our spaces, exclusively yours, for up to 120 guests. Rates are on the pricing page.
Not at Stem & Vine. Every drink here comes through our bar and our team. For events at your own venue that's different, and you can bring your own bottles through mobile bartending.
326 N Charles Street, in the historic Browns Arcade in downtown Baltimore. Open Sunday and Monday 12 to 7, closed Tuesday, Wednesday 5 to 9, and Thursday through Saturday 11 to 9.
Yes, and the bar carries that through to the shelf. Our wine and spirits list pours Black-owned and women-owned makers.
Houseplants, arranged by the region they come from. The shop runs Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Australia, so where a plant sits tells you something about how it wants to be treated.
Wine, beer, cocktails, and a zero-proof list that gets the same attention as the rest. The bottles lean toward Black-owned and women-owned makers, many of them working in Baltimore and the region around it.
Yes. Happy hours, tastings, workshops, and art openings run through the month. Days and times shift, so check the events calendar before you head over.
Yes. A Stem & Vine gift card spends anywhere in the shop, on plants, on a pour at the bar, or on original art from the walls.
