The Mezzanine

Maximum 40 guests

Semi-private, above the taproom.

Book your event

The mezzanine is the room for the party that's too big for a table and too personal for a hall. It's semi-private and sits above the main taproom — your own space, with the energy of the room still underneath you.

It comes with use of the main bar, access to the arcade — pinball, Golden Tee, Pac-Man and ring toss — and an hour beforehand to set up, decorate and get your people organised before anyone arrives.

The occasion

What this space is good for

  • Bridal showers

    Semi-private, easy to decorate, and a bar that isn't an afterthought.

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

    Preferred caterers are available if you'd rather bring in a full spread.
