# Board of Liquor License Hearing; September 24, 2026

The Board of Liquor License Commissioners for Baltimore City convened on September 24, 2026, to conduct a series of hearings primarily focused on liquor license applications, transfers of ownership, and amendments to existing licenses. A significant agenda item was the adoption of the 2026 rules and regulations governing liquor licenses, which included provisions for delivery of alcoholic beverages, speak easys, bottle service, and one-day licenses. This update was unanimously approved and set to take effect on November 2, 2026. The board also reviewed multiple applications for new licenses, transfers of ownership, and expansions of premises, often involving requests for live entertainment, outdoor table service, off-premises catering, and delivery of alcoholic beverages. Several applicants provided testimony regarding their business plans, community engagement, and compliance with regulations. The board emphasized the importance of community collaboration, especially in cases where neighborhood associations expressed concerns. Votes were taken to approve or reaffirm licenses, with some approvals contingent on conditions such as obtaining use and occupancy permits and establishing community agreements. The meeting reflected a thorough and collaborative approach to liquor licensing and regulatory modernization in Baltimore City.
