The 8x10

Baltimore, Maryland, United States

The 8x10 live music venue in Baltimore, Maryland

Why it matters

The 8x10 is a Federal Hill club with deep jam-scene history and a roughly 350-person scale. After a 2026 ownership transition, it is set to reopen rather than disappear from Baltimore's independent venue map.

Getting there

The venue is on East Cross Street in Federal Hill. Walking and rideshare are easy from the neighborhood; drivers should expect city parking rather than a dedicated lot.

Bag policy

Reopening-era policies may change. Check the official site before arrival and do not rely on older bag rules from the previous operation.

Local tips

Because the venue is reopening under new ownership in 2026, treat current event details as more important than old habits. The surrounding Federal Hill area makes pre-show food and drinks easy.
