Liquor Board Hearings | November 10th, 2026

The Arundel County Liquor Board held licensing and enforcement hearings on November 10, 2026. No procurement activity was identified. The Board imposed fines of $2,000 on Reno’s Market for two underage-sale counts and $1,500 on Catherine’s across four violation counts. TGI Fridays was fined $1,000 each on two counts related to unauthorized entertainment and cooperation. The hearing for Filion Cigar LLC was postponed; the Board also adopted the recusal policy and approved prior hearing transcripts as official minutes.

The Board approved several licensing changes: a majority-interest change for Fifth Avenue Liquors; removal of Nautical Lounge’s entertainment restriction to allow karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays; officer changes at Original Eddie’s Grill; and ownership/officer changes and removal of a dance-floor restriction at Papa’s Restaurant. It approved First Watch’s license with outdoor service and a new Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse license for its planned move to Annapolis Town Center. First Watch representatives cited approximately $2 million in capital improvements, and Ruth’s Chris representatives described an investment exceeding $800,000; these were applicant statements, not Board spending allocations.
