Attorney Ben Carter told the board that the applicant has operated as the general manager at the Clarksville Lido location for roughly 18 months and seeks to purchase the restaurant. The applicant disclosed a prior administrative violation that occurred at a different establishment (Players Bar) years earlier while his name was on the license; he said he had not been involved in day-to-day operations when that violation occurred and apologized for the failure to recall it on the application. The county detective confirmed that the enforcement notice had been mailed to the partner who signed the administrative settlement and that mailing explains why the applicant said he had not received notice.

Board members asked about the Clarksville location’s operations and safeguards. The applicant said the Clarksville restaurant’s sales are largely food (about 90% food), that four staff members currently hold TIP/alcohol-awareness certification, and that there are no current violations at the Clarksville location. The board placed the prior matter on the record as part of the hearing but voted to approve the license transfer; the applicant waived the right to an appeal.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Howard - Alcoholic Beverage Hearing Board - July 8, 2025 - Jul 08, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved transfer of the Class B beer and light wine seven-day on-sale license for Lido Pizza Clarksville to DSMS Pizza LLC; the prospective licensee disclosed a prior unrelated violation and apologized for the omission.","taxTitle","Howard County, Maryland","taxId",13634,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6520053,"Board approves transfer of Dorsey Search Wine & Spirits license to DG Stores",851,2919950,3771770,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5338911-15bfdcfebae8fda570b08f7ecd7a8303&start=2919&end=3771","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5338911-15bfdcfebae8fda570b08f7ecd7a8303/thumbnail_2919950.jpg","/articles/6520053/Howard-County/Maryland/Board-approves-transfer-of-Dorsey-Search-Wine-Spirits-license-to-DG-Stores","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520053-7507753ee4985ffcceb1bfedc78a711c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771167030&Signature=fgeBE~jnK7kgYfGSybThxUFPd0Q2GdOlMqfti61~HFnXwTTOaBYbjhXgdyhBbG~tuM5g1Eju52QK-voBXUfLRVSx6pnDdOH6vvXErG~dWs4IQ6XpqbdERgAevAhsu8JwoFA4k0zAPxKxLCbCzZLHCEd2gpjJR6kXcmCfupK7kqv4j2~wRVvqVdJuBtMCV9GHYiWtUEUj28I8x-mLvB9~B2aCvPO1ZtTQ5ChWk5riELje8PStJnR9iknB-miqymHaOq1e00qj-z42rZgDUAO31kYf1U9wiyWZd8fkXIEZafL5~181c7Y4CFRCTDLi1~pGbYHF2vjeaVRJOlpnVvNlIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Howard County Alcohol Beverage Hearing Board approved the transfer of a Class A beer, wine and liquor seven-day off-sale license for Dorsey Search Wine & Spirits at 4725 Dorsey Hall Drive, Suite J, Ellicott City, to DG Stores LLC, with Durgesh Gupta and Shivika Gaind listed as the new licensees.

Attorney Ben Carter presented the application and said the new operators plan no material change to the mode of operation but will renovate the store and add staff. Gupta, who testified he previously owned and operated a liquor store in Prince George’s County and managed beer-and-wine operations elsewhere, said he will be on-site roughly 25–30 hours per week. Gaind will serve as the resident licensee and hold a minority interest; both applicants hold alcohol-awareness certification.

Board members asked about staffing, hours (the applicants stated the store will operate 10 a.m.–10 p.m. seven days a week) and whether the applicants have current or past violations. Applicants said their family operates other stores and reported no outstanding violations. The board approved the transfer and the applicants waived the right to appeal.

The new owners said they will hire a full-time supervisor and additional employees and that the current under-managed operation will be corrected through renovations and increased staffing.","Howard County board approved transfer of a Class A off-sale beer, wine and liquor license for Dorsey Search Wine & Spirits at 4725 Dorsey Hall Drive to DG Stores LLC (Durgesh Gupta and Shivika Gaind).",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6520057,"Board approves tavern license for indoor golf venue on Red Branch Road",1253,1611080,2864480,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5338911-15bfdcfebae8fda570b08f7ecd7a8303&start=1611&end=2864","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5338911-15bfdcfebae8fda570b08f7ecd7a8303/thumbnail_1611080.jpg","/articles/6520057/Howard-County/Maryland/Board-approves-tavern-license-for-indoor-golf-venue-on-Red-Branch-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520057-cd2569635c2a087e0d01ec3a968c0b9e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771167031&Signature=AF7XCrnrzJmfFrQXcD9N~tOChglkFzcZI877ob2UWAM0XdKnl7EBlb3DA20LcR4Cijfgh0CphEdfC478YVWtarlgLUxbAEkKjEYEvzSB8tOpi1852fBZKCOYe3eGnGb7eaBLzSYVrBYq~SgHX-VWDaMZRXGcPaUI4d1ZcJdlqxU09k9KEPGhFpHMdt~jmCN0qHs3mtEpQzMCN4R91z9lsDmz2EYDxSV2hW4KZ5UP78ejPaawV2ux7m0WWINIYZWUUu9GrlWJUCjNCQQ1UfpBOGHskx1aome8AlzQDrevbGEkQy22RBY7IZifG60cdKTE~MTwko3dkV0KrTNmBVD~2Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Howard County Alcohol Beverage Hearing Board approved a new Class D beer, wine and liquor seven-day on/off sale (tavern) license for S Eagle 5 Incorporated, doing business as 5 Eagle Golf, at 9198 Red Branch Road, Columbia.

Applicant Yoran Choi, who described the venue as an indoor golf facility with kitchen service and a full bar, told the board that food and beverage sales combined should meet the county food-sales requirement for a tavern license. Counsel for the applicant said food and beverage currently represent roughly 20 to 25% of total sales and that the venue has a kitchen and plans for “speed-oven” prepared items to increase food sales.

Board members asked about hours, the nature of beverage service and whether the location’s atmosphere would encourage heavy drinking. Choi and counsel said the venue is more family- and golf-oriented than a traditional bar; customers typically play golf or practice and consume modest amounts of alcohol during play. The applicant said the location historically operated as a restaurant-license location for several years and that there have been no alcohol-service violations on record.

After deliberation the board voted to grant the new Class D tavern license. The board noted the applicant’s commitment to install an updated point-of-sale system to accurately track food versus alcohol sales and to ensure managers and staff are alcohol-awareness certified.","The Howard County Alcohol Beverage Hearing Board approved a new Class D beer, wine and liquor (tavern) license for S Eagle 5 Incorporated, trading as 5 Eagle Golf, at 9198 Red Branch Road in Columbia.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6520062,"Howard County board approves expansion of Umi Sushi’s licensed premises in Ellicott City",1520,84310,1604990,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5338911-15bfdcfebae8fda570b08f7ecd7a8303&start=84&end=1604","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5338911-15bfdcfebae8fda570b08f7ecd7a8303/thumbnail_84310.jpg","/articles/6520062/Howard-County/Maryland/Howard-County-board-approves-expansion-of-Umi-Sushis-licensed-premises-in-Ellicott-City","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520062-4d213accbb9768d3f4b975ee98ebb92d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771167031&Signature=fFkSVF~vCjYVG6cRZHHVNA5kIwHB-ZM3Ul9OBn5P3lWnn~tAQ12TtJTc58befE1014prJLr1QX8mJ2Fe3n3P0hHB7kSzHxSUj-RI-k5vg15bNQ1PmqUDnyKIyC7AWPkHIddvWBitsxnfRlZC6~NvP7FjVt0oV9eW4sQlKuacv7oLefUt3QTwmjT8u2hM-Q63fS7-VPRY2Phjp2RkWgZxJ~0B4FBW5Zx8IhsRHEazcgsydKDiAeiuy1TL2Q-uEl4j-EFbmHLoFzgw5SxxA2Mpxu8jtfm3q6nPU7Q4MryZFtTVznIrY8t5eqmTlg24Dz4nMEmt1Q6kYVZsp3fu12z4lg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Howard County Alcohol Beverage Hearing Board on a unanimous vote approved an extension of premises for Chopsticks Asian LLC, trading as Umi Sushi, to expand the restaurant and outdoor patio at 8167 Main Street in Ellicott City.

The board approved the change after hearing from the applicant, King Feng Lin, who testified under oath that he owns 100% of the business and that he and his wife, Yumin Chen, will be on the premises when alcohol is served. The license remains a Class B beer, wine and liquor, seven-day on-sale license; the application covers an increase from a roughly 2,000-square-foot restaurant with a 250-square-foot patio to a 3,480-square-foot restaurant with a 970-square-foot patio.

Board members asked about patio access and oversight. Lin, through a translator, testified that the patio area is accessible from an alley and parking lot but is enclosed by surrounding buildings; staff and servers typically circulate inside and outside to monitor customers. Lin said he and his wife are both certified in alcohol awareness training and a manager is being trained. He told the board that alcohol sales are expected to remain a small portion of total revenue: “without alcohol sales, it might not even be 10% of the restaurant’s total sales,” he said.

Board members pressed on security and service practices for the patio and noted the expansion’s size. One member said the expansion raised questions but that the applicant’s estimates of limited alcohol sales and the restaurant’s record—open since 2019 with no alcohol violations—reassured the panel. With no objections and no outstanding violations on record, a motion to approve the extension passed with the board voting yes.

The board recorded that the applicant waived the right to appeal at the hearing. The applicant was advised of continuing obligations as the licensee and to ensure servers and on-site managers remain trained and that the expanded patio is supervised when alcohol is served.","The Alcohol Beverage Hearing Board approved an extension of premises for Chopsticks Asian LLC doing business as Umi Sushi, allowing an enlarged indoor space and a larger patio at 8167 Main Street, Ellicott City.","actionData","errors"]
