A Small Party Venue in Baltimore
With Its Own Sky

Downtown on every side and sky straight overhead, with a bar and an entrance all its own. Thirty people fit like the room was counted for them.

The space

For the parties people really throw

The Courtyard + Greenhouse is a small party venue in downtown Baltimore for up to 30 guests, with its own bar and its own entrance, from $195 per hour with a 3-hour minimum.

Twenty friends for a birthday. A shower for the cousin everybody loves. An engagement dinner that deserves better than a restaurant's back corner. That's the size most celebrations really are, and this is the room those nights were waiting on.

Because the space has its own hallway entrance, your party arrives to itself, not through somebody else's evening. And the rate math is friendly on purpose: Sunday through Wednesday it drops to $195 per hour, published like every other number we charge.

  • $195 per hour Sunday through Wednesday
  • $225 per hour Thursday through Saturday, 3-hour minimum
  • Own bar, own entrance, setup inside your window

The courtyard does the party. The greenhouse does the pause.

The Courtyard

Brick underfoot, the blue mural overhead, string lights when the evening settles. This is where the music lives, the toasts land, and the photographs take themselves.

The Greenhouse

The glass-walled lounge tucked under the stairs: leather poufs, woven ottomans, softer light. Where the long conversations drift when the dance floor gets loud.

Thirty of your people, two rooms,
and the evening to yourselves.

The bar is yours too

One bar, three easy ways to run it

Every booking with bar access picks one beverage option. A cash bar lets guests buy their own; parties of 21 to 40 commit to a $500 minimum, and everything the bar sells counts toward it, coffee included. Hosted packages run from $25 per guest, beer and wine through signature cocktails and zero-proof pours, and the full menu of options is published.

Our bartender runs the room's own bar: wine and spirits from Black-owned and women-owned makers, the same program the Botany Bar pours every week.

  • Cash bar, hosted packages, or somewhere between
  • Hosted packages from $25 per guest
  • Zero-proof options in every package

When the list grows

Thirty becomes 75 without changing the address

Guest lists have a way of growing between the idea and the invitation. If yours outgrows 30, the Botany Bar, Garden and Gallery takes parties up to 75 in the other wing, and a full buyout holds 120 across all three of our spaces, exclusively yours.

Same address, same plants, same bar program. Just more room for the people you couldn't leave off the list.

What time are you thinking?

Setup and breakdown happen inside your window, so build in the time you need on both ends.

Which space are you picturing?
A few details and we're done

Outside vendors are welcome. Anyone from our preferred list comes with no added fee, and vendors outside that list carry a $250 vendor fee plus a certificate of insurance before your event day. DJs and live music are always free of the fee.

Last part, how do we reach you?
Read the house rules

All beverages come through us. No outside alcohol, ever. Our bar team pours everything.

Food comes from our preferred caterer list, or from your own caterer with a $250 vendor fee and a certificate of insurance.

Your window is your window. Setup and breakdown happen inside it. Anything past 10pm carries a late night rate, and every event ends by midnight.

No open flames, so no candles, hookah, smoke bombs, powder cannons, gender reveal devices, heating appliances, or ice sculptures. Smoking and vaping stay outside.

No confetti, glitter, or foil, and no balloons with confetti inside. Regular balloons are welcome and get popped indoors rather than released outside.

Nothing goes on the walls, and nothing covers or touches the art.

Not permitted: drugs, adult entertainment, sitting or standing on the bar, tattooing, and bounce houses.

Photo shoots are booked, never walk-in. A shoot is its own booking with its own rate.

The full list lands in your proposal and again in your confirmation, so nothing here is a surprise later.
