Taproom & Table Reservations

A table held for your group.

Book your event

Sometimes you just need a table, good beer, and nobody watching the clock. Reserving a few tables is the easiest thing we do — no production, no months of planning. Tell us roughly when you're coming and how many, and we'll have space held and ready.

You get taproom seating and the run of the main bar, which means your group is part of the room rather than shut away from it. For a birthday, a team lunch, or a send-off, that's usually exactly right.

The occasion

What this space is good for

  • Birthdays

    A table, a tab, and a room that already feels like a party.

  • Team lunches & meetings

    Get people out of the office without a whole production.

    Read more →
  • Family gatherings

    Out-of-town relatives, one table, no cooking or cleaning up.

  • Retirements & send-offs

    Raise a glass to someone without booking a whole venue.

  • Classes & workshops

    Small enough to hear each other, loose enough to stay fun.

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

    For a table or two the kitchen usually has it covered, but outside catering can be arranged — just ask.
