Boulder Beverage Licensing Authority Considers Fringe Pizza Liquor License Violations

Boulder City is taking significant steps to enhance communication with local beverage license holders, as discussed in the recent Beverage Licensing Authority (BLA) meeting on July 19, 2025. The meeting highlighted the urgent need for a structured communication platform, akin to the Responsible Hospitality Training (RHT) program, which has been absent for some time.

AJ, a community member, emphasized the importance of re-establishing this communication channel to ensure that alcohol license holders receive vital information regarding responsible service and best practices. With the University of Colorado Boulder’s first home game approaching on August 29, there is a pressing need to prepare and engage with local establishments. AJ proposed that the BLA consider adding this topic to the agenda for the next meeting, seeking support to facilitate better information sharing among license holders.

The BLA members expressed their support for community alignment and encouraged specific requests from the public to enhance collaboration. This initiative aims to foster a culture of information sharing that could benefit both the beverage industry and the community at large.

In addition to the communication proposal, the meeting also addressed a show cause hearing regarding an alleged violation involving Fringe Pizza LLC, a local eatery. The board accepted a stipulation of facts related to the case, which will guide further proceedings. This hearing is crucial as it will determine whether the establishment's liquor license should be suspended or revoked based on the alleged violations.

The discussions from this meeting reflect Boulder City’s commitment to improving community relations and ensuring responsible alcohol service. As the BLA moves forward, the proposed communication framework could play a pivotal role in enhancing the operational standards of local beverage establishments, ultimately benefiting the entire community.
