Power Plant Live!

Background Power Plant Live! was built on the former site of the Baltimore Centre Market and the Brokerage Mall, Phase I of Power Plant Live! had its grand opening celebration on July 4, 2001. It wss equipped with an outdoor bar, large video screen, and nightly sound-and-light shows to draw crowds of tourists and visitors. It wss considered the focal point of the redevelopment, and was designed as a 30,000-square-foot brick plaza. Subsequent phases from through 2002 and 2003 added additional bars, restaurants, and performance venues, culminating the Power Plant Live! plaza into the full 550,000-square-foot complex by late 2003 and establishing it as a complete "live, work, and play" environment, with nightlife. Following Power Plant Live!'s success, it served as a prototype for later "Live!" developments by Cordish, such as Fourth Street Live! in Louisville, Kentucky, Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland at Arundel Mills in Hanover, Maryland, Stateside Live! in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the Waterside District redevelopment of the former Waterside Festival Marketplace. After a 2011 renovation, new tenants included PBR Baltimore and an expansion of the Luckie's Tavern sports bar on the second floor of the district. Reed Cordish, the vice president of The Cordish Companies, stated "It's building upon an existing strength and taking it to a new level." ==Adjacent facilities==

Nevermore Hall (formerly Rams Head Live!) Rams Head Live! had its grand opening on December 15, 2004, attracting nearly 10 million visitors. It was 1,600-capacity concert hall, spanning 26,000 square feet across three viewing levels, and has hosted national touring acts, equipped with advanced sound and lighting systems for diverse genres. Rams Head Live! was developed via a collaboration involving The Cordish Companies and Rams Head Group, a restaurant and entertainment company based in Annapolis, Maryland. However, Rams Head Live! closed permanently in December 2024, with AEG LIVE informing Cordish that they were leaving the district. Following this, Cordish renovated the building in partnership with Live Nation Entertainment. The facility reopened in August 2025 under the new branding Nevermore Hall. Tin Roof (2014–2024) Tin Roof at Power Plant Live! was a lively, casual venue, featuring live music, a BBQ-focused menu, and a fun, often crowded atmosphere with karaoke. It opened during Memorial Day weekend in 2014, replacing Kettle Hill, which shuttered in 2012. It was the Nashville-based chain's first location in Baltimore. However, Tin Roof itself ultimately closed its doors from May 4-5, 2024, because the owners chose not to renew their lease for unspecified reasons. Replacement After over a year of being vacant, Geno's Steaks, a Philadelphia-based cheesesteak restaurant, announced in October 2025 that it would open in the former Tin Roof space. On February 4, 2026, the restaurant announced that it was scheduled to have its grand opening in early March. Geno's Steaks opened for business on March 5, 2026. ==References==
