The Center Club was established by a group of Baltimore business and community leaders in 1962, the same year as the completion of the first building in the then new Charles Center. The mission of the Center Club was to provide a private dining and meeting place that exemplified the spirit, revitalization and growth taking place in downtown Baltimore. At a time when country clubs and business dining clubs were exclusive, The Center Club was the first of its kind to open its doors to members, regardless of race, gender and religion. That spirit is alive today, providing the business community with a facility that offers the highest quality dining and service in a congenial atmosphere. Serving 2,000 members, The Center Club now occupies the 15th and 16th floors of 100 Light Street, and offers members private meeting rooms, numerous special events, and reciprocal privileges with 90 private clubs in major cities worldwide.
