oUR HIStoRY

the center club was established in 1962 at a time when prominent Baltimore business and social leaders were seeking an environment that would offer fine cuisine and attentive service in a setting of privacy and tradition. Unlike other clubs at this time, the center club was founded on a charter of inclusiveness.

Since the beginning, The Center Club has been one of the most prestigious locations in Baltimore to meet colleagues and friends, dine in comfortable and subtle elegance and enjoy entertaining with others of like mind. Emphasis is placed upon those elements that constitute the essence of a fine private club.

In 2009, the center club underwent a renovation of the main floor, the first significant upgrade to the club in more than 20 years. In 2015, the orioles Pub, a casual dining venue, was added to the 16th Floor. In 2018, the 16th Floor was totally renovated to enhance our private event space.

Located on the 15th and 16th Floors of 100 Light Street in the heart of downtown Baltimore, the center club offers renowned panoramic views of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, Federal Hill and sports stadiums.

the center club has been named a top 100 city club in the World since 2018 and a top 50 city club in the U.S. since 2014. Platinum status is regarded as the pinnacle of recognition in private clubs, and the center club is the only 5-star Platinum city club in the city of Baltimore.
