Unique Private Event Space in Baltimore

Up to 250 guests

A room of your own, with a brewery attached.

Book your event

Some occasions deserve a room that is entirely yours. Our private event space takes up to 250 guests, with a bartender of your own pouring beer brewed on the other side of the glass, cocktails from a full bar, and food from our kitchen or the caterer you love.

It is a working brewery, not a banquet hall, and that is the point: the tanks are the backdrop, the beer is the centrepiece, and nobody has to pretend to be impressed by a chandelier. Bring the decorations, the playlist, the slideshow and the speeches — the stage, sound and screens are already here.

Why Checkerspot

More than a room to rent

  • Independent & woman-owned

    No chain or hotel group behind it — just a Baltimore brewery that cares how your night goes.

  • Brewed right here

    Small-batch, gluten-reduced beer made on site, a short walk from M&T Bank Stadium.

  • A full bar

    We hold a full liquor license: cocktails, spirits and wine alongside our beer.

  • Catering your way

    Food from our own kitchen, or bring in the caterer you love.

  • Sound & screens

    A stage, sound and projectors for the toasts, the slideshow and the band.

  • Easy parking

    Spaces on Ridgely and Alluvion Streets, free street parking, and Lot O nearby for overflow. On stadium days, allow a little extra time.

What we pour & plate

Beer, cocktails, and food

  • Our beer

    Everything on tap is brewed on the other side of the glass wall. Draft, cans, and crowlers to go.

  • Cocktails, spirits & wine

    We hold a full liquor license, so cocktails, spirits and wine sit alongside the beer — plus a proper non-alcoholic list, so nobody is stuck with a soda.

  • From our kitchen

    Our own kitchen handles food in-house — the taproom menu, or a simplified spread built for a group.

  • Catering

    Bring in the caterer you want, or let our kitchen handle it. There's room for a DJ, a band or a karaoke setup too.
