Here at Checkerspot, our top priority is the health and safety of our visitors, co-workers and community. We are open only for outdoor seating and there is plenty of space outside to spread out, socially distance and enjoy some beers in the shade out front or across the street under 395.

Anyone entering the taproom must wear a facemask at all times and maintain at least 6ft distance from others (as marked on the floor). You must order from behind the plexiglass and the bartender will sanitize everything in between customers.

We offer pints, cans and crowlers for carryout. If you’re looking to fill up a used Checkerspot growler, you will not get your same actual growler back when you come to refill. We will give you a new one that has been thoroughly sanitized.

Tables and chairs set up outside maintain safe distancing of more than 6ft. If setting up your area which we completely support, please maintain 6ft distance from others not in your household.

We are dog friendly (must be leashed) and kid friendly (children must be within 6ft of an adult at all times).

We’re proud to bring you an array of small-batch, thoughtfully crafted beers–inspired by nature, but served right here in Baltimore, the city we love. We will all get through this together!

The Baltimore Checkerspot is the Maryland state butterfly, which embodies our belief that without local appreciation, nature, and quality ingredients, great beer does not exist.

There’s something for everyone here!
