The board found that SC Baltimore Hotel LLC, trading as the Marriott Inner Harbor at 110 S. Eutaw St., admitted violations stemming from a special opening‑day event on March 31, 2025. The board found violations for live entertainment without authorization and for open containers and illegal possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages. The chair imposed a $300 fine for each violation and gave the licensee 30 days to pay.

Inspectors and counsel reported repeated failures to operate tavern areas properly and unsanitary conditions at several neighborhood establishments. The board assessed fines as follows (amount, violation and date charged):

- Sugar Hill Tavern (2361 Druid Hill Ave.): $300 fine for failing to open the tavern area while packaged‑goods area was open (03/05/2025).

- Bemore to Carry / Bemore to Carry (1731 Eastern Ave.): $250 fine for unapproved alterations (expanded into adjacent property without board permission) (03/25/2025).

- SNS Liquor (2135 E. North Ave.): $150 per violation (records, prohibited activities by license type, sanitation and restroom/sink use) (03/25/2025); board found corrections had been made prior to the hearing.

- Liquor House and Bar (3 E. North Ave.): $300 fine for failing to keep tavern area open while packaged‑goods area operated (03/26/2025); the board received letters from neighborhood organizations raising broader operational concerns.

- Robbie's Nest (2250 E. North Ave.): fines of $150 each for prohibited activities by license type, restroom facilities and sink violations and for unapproved alterations (03/06–03/07/2025).

Inspectors described on‑site conditions including locked or cluttered tavern areas, missing soap and a non‑functioning three‑compartment sink at multiple locations. Licensees in several cases admitted violations, presented corrective actions or explained operational circumstances (for example, understaffing at a large event for the Marriott). The board generally gave 30 days to pay the fines and noted that repeated violations could lead to more serious enforcement.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Liquor License Hearing; June 26, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board found violations and imposed fines on several licensees on June 26, including $300 fines on Marriott Inner Harbor and multiple taverns for live-entertainment or tavern‑area issues and fines ranging from $150–$300 for sanitation and unauthorized alterations.","taxTitle","Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Maryland","taxId",4816,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6184019,"Liquor board grants shortage-of-operation and transfer hardship extensions to multiple licensees",301,1117000,1418000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093233-3350a23f64ecfe07b27e0d1e08687153&start=1117&end=1418","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093233-3350a23f64ecfe07b27e0d1e08687153/thumbnail_1117000.jpg","/articles/6184019/Baltimore-City/Baltimore-County/Maryland/Liquor-board-grants-shortage-of-operation-and-transfer-hardship-extensions-to-multiple-licensees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184019-29f42ecf25224415388297cd9de08edb/orig.mp4?Expires=1775394995&Signature=fyVJ7paXnMZ7768CnzyGHWBbXPpQUZNNV-rcD90Q213E9iBcMfWEV3BaBJzf02H6hiOrn8RKQjxQ5VEkq10HmY5n9~Vt~JQh3wzsNI4LeZWY3EUfEo6yvn6PmALtw~i4kiqvW1NE5lGTP4XCdI2KseWKS8IWlklkgH~qYnaJJWZcIXuuIuxNRoQSTfNPWVGROsjGlFOfYw20IC6rCDtlGeFrX0US0by6IUAad111rIdik0VkKDB4Guy3t-V0QERScdum0iRQwIOvNxB-Ah5J0IK94w0harJsvPwSQ~W5o5sTTP4WEM01nOZyZdoQg9NLCvXSqlowzmQnKpMdeRdtrA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Liquor License Commissioners for Baltimore City on June 26 approved multiple hardship and transfer‑clock extensions to allow licensees and prospective buyers time to complete transfers or preserve licenses while new tenants or transfers are finalized.

The board approved a 180‑day hardship extension for Peppa Flame Bar and Grill, 1401 E. Clement St., after the landlord’s counsel explained the prior tenant ceased alcoholic beverage activities on Nov. 25, 2024, and a new tenant is anticipated. Steven W. Fogelman, counsel for the landlord, requested the extension to preserve the license while the transfer is prepared.

The board also approved 90‑day transfer hardship extensions for Park Bench Pub (Hero Restoration LLC, 1747–49 Belt Street) and for Fred and Margie's (3603–05 Fairhaven Ave). Counsel for the applicants told the board the transfers were near completion but needed additional time for inspections, fingerprinting or other closing steps.

Board actions were based on written requests (dated May 6 or May 16 as noted in filings) and proffers made at the hearing. The chair and commissioners voted to grant the extensions in each case. The board recorded its approvals and noted timelines for completing inspections and transfer paperwork.","The Board approved several hardship and transfer-clock extensions — including a 180‑day extension for Peppa Flame Bar and Grill and 90‑day transfer extensions for Park Bench Pub and two additional licensees — to allow time to complete transfers or preserve licenses for upcoming tenants.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":42,"_43":89,"_45":89,"_46":90,"_48":91,"_50":92,"_52":93,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":94,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":95,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6184024,"Board approves transfer of Indrani Discount Liquors at 4159 Patterson Ave.",873000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093233-3350a23f64ecfe07b27e0d1e08687153&start=873&end=873","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093233-3350a23f64ecfe07b27e0d1e08687153/thumbnail_873000.jpg","/articles/6184024/Baltimore-City/Baltimore-County/Maryland/Board-approves-transfer-of-Indrani-Discount-Liquors-at-4159-Patterson-Ave","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184024-7a30ba3e76db1a88709a18cea85edddf/orig.mp4?Expires=1775394995&Signature=oz2iBFntIFRO8zXR-uph8YPHvBiiXAZ95SuiLgphAwCZblDR~~fzoPhujHJFMKg~rfRcxqOT4ftxDYcf8yXD~B10CYQxee7OCekdLQb7MpJ6Hn82CaHQbdnzngq0~2nftW3UCWCaQVzxCZ3R0mE4yqPPAMjqrM-AZa04b9scDQYvCeGxI~Rx3w3katc5d-ydvjXBh6htHFf-fB7qb02hzulXgXyYY7wqkhfeHZgO0thv-yK0RxqaH-KaLSQtzYAb3l77BYXkZHHrJlMqOg50G9QzmvIrNLnBazI~5zhOYo7J2qxmDGrX2GAEbolCQPapVcPzqvzRbfnQzPM02Lqs8A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Liquor License Commissioners for Baltimore City approved an in-location transfer of a Class A beer, wine and liquor license for Indrani Discount Liquors at 4159 Patterson Ave. on June 26.

Abraham Hertel, counsel for the applicant, said the business will operate similarly to the prior licensee’s operations and submitted an updated floor plan. Counsel said the proposed manager has three years of retail liquor experience, staff will be trained and the location will install a card scanner to check identification.

Hertel told the board the applicants anticipated closing the transaction within one to two weeks pending inspections and said they expected to have the license within about a month. \"We're hoping to have it — we're trying to get our inspections done at the moment,\" Hertel said. He added the applicants plan to refile a use permit because of scheduling issues but expected to proceed quickly.

On the basis of the application materials, the proffer made by counsel and testimony at the hearing, the chair and two commissioners voted to approve the transfer application.

The MOU, presented by counsel, restricts the use of outdoor speakers on the western side of the floating dock, sets outdoor closing times at 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, sets an indoor closing time of midnight seven days a week, and states the operator will not seek approval for live entertainment at this time.

Joe Woolman, attorney with Silverman Thompson representing the applicant, outlined the transfer and said the premises — also known as Lighthouse Point on the Canton waterfront — will continue outdoor table service and seek delivery of alcoholic beverages. \"She pledges to abide by them,\" Woolman said, referring to the board rules and the MOU. He added that the transfer application was filed Jan. 24, 2025, and that corporate documents and the MOU were provided to the board for the record.

Woolman told commissioners the applicant, Grace Jacobson, is a Baltimore resident and an owner-operator who will bring the historic Pusser’s brand from Annapolis to the site. He said the team conducted an outreach campaign including multiple on-site meetings and demonstrations of the outdoor speaker setup and that the parties negotiated “significant concessions” to address neighbors’ concerns about the floating dock and hours.

Applicant representatives said the operation expects to bring approximately 25–30 staff from the Annapolis location and hire additional employees locally; counsel said the overall staff complement at the venue will be around 100. Commissioners asked a brief series of operational questions, including staffing and TIP (training for intervention) certification, which counsel confirmed would be in place.

On the basis of the submitted application materials, the proffer by counsel, the memorandum of understanding and letters of support from neighborhood organizations, the chair voted to approve the amended application. Two commissioners concurring also voted to approve; the decision was recorded as an approval subject to the MOU \"to the extent those terms are enforceable by law.\" The board noted the MOU had been executed with the Canton Community Association and that the agreement is part of the record.

The approval allows continued outdoor table service and delivery of alcoholic beverages under the conditions in the MOU. The board’s action does not itself expand permission for live entertainment, which the applicant agreed not to pursue at this time.","The Board of Liquor License Commissioners for Baltimore City approved transfer of a Class B liquor license for Pusser’s Landing at 2711 Boston St., conditioned on a memorandum of understanding that restricts outdoor speaker placement and sets weekday and weekend outdoor hours.","actionData","errors"]
