Why Choose La Chow for Your Event?
Unique venue: Our historic building in Little Italy offers character you won't find at a generic hotel ballroom.
Kitchen access: Unlike most venues, La Chow has a full commercial kitchen on-site. Your caterer can prep and cook fresh food in the same building — no food trucks or warming trays needed.
Flexibility: Rent a single room for a small gathering, or book multiple spaces for a large-scale event. Mix indoor and outdoor spaces as needed.
Central location: 210 South Central Avenue is:
- Minutes from I-95, I-83, and I-695
- In the heart of Baltimore's Little Italy
- Close to downtown, Inner Harbor, and Fells Point
- Accessible from Towson, Columbia, Annapolis, and across Maryland
Affordable: Competitive rates with tenant discounts — significantly less than most Baltimore event venues. Contact us for a custom quote.
