Liquor Board Hearings | June 16th, 2026

The Arundel TV Liquor Board held a hearing on June 16, 2026, to consider the personal protest renewal of the liquor license for the Magothy Inn located in Pasadena, Maryland. The meeting involved testimony from various witnesses including neighbors, patrons, and experts regarding compliance with liquor laws, noise complaints, and property use issues. Key procurement-related discussions centered on the enforcement of licensing regulations, with motions ruled on concerning evidence admissibility and procedural matters. Testimony addressed septic system capacity violations, noise disturbances primarily from a refrigerator motor, and the lack of building permits for certain property additions. Despite multiple noise complaints, inspections by the Liquor Board did not result in violation notices. Community support for the Inn was strongly expressed, including a GoFundMe campaign. The board was urged to deny the protest based on the absence of new evidence and compliance with operational standards. No contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were discussed during the meeting.
