Corporate Events at Checkerspot

Reserved tables to 500 inside · 750–1,000 with the outdoor space

Book your event

There is a version of the company event that happens in a hotel function room with a carpet nobody chose. Then there is the one people actually remember, in a working South Baltimore brewery with the tanks lit up behind the glass and a stage at the front of the room.

We host the full range: two reserved tables for an after-work happy hour, a team outing or offsite, a client night in the mezzanine, or an all-hands with five hundred people and a slide deck. We are a short walk from Camden Yards, so the downtown office can walk over after work.

The stage and the screens

The big room has a real stage, sound, and two projectors. Presentations, panels, awards, a product launch, the CEO's update: the room is already set up for all of it.

Every size of company

Reserved tables in the taproom for a team happy hour. The semi-private mezzanine for twenty to a hundred and fifty. The whole building for five hundred inside, and up to seven hundred and fifty to a thousand with the outdoor space.

Something to do besides talk shop

Pinball and arcade games in the mezzanine give a team outing something to do besides stand around a high-top. Planning one built around the games? See team building at Checkerspot.

Food and the bar

Our kitchen sends food out to the room, or bring in your own caterer. Big events get a private bartender. Everything we brew is gluten-reduced, and there is wine, seltzer, soda, root beer and non-alcoholic beer, so the whole office is covered.

Easy to sign off

Once the date is set you get a contract with everything agreed in writing, which keeps finance happy. Free parking in the lot and on the street keeps everyone else happy.

Book ahead for Q4

Fall and December go first, because every company has the same idea at the same time. December dates are first come, first served and usually gone by the end of October. If it is the end-of-year party you are planning, start with our holiday party guide. If the event is on a calendar already, get in touch now.
