Taco Bar granted conditional Class B beer & wine license window

Frederick County Liquor Board · March 9, 2026

Summary

Taco Bar — a local, food‑focused restaurant — received conditional approval for a Class B beer & wine license through March 31, 2026, after applicants described staff training, lead cashier checks and signage to reduce underage sales risks.

The Liquor Board granted conditional Class B (beer & wine) approval to Taco Bar on March 9, citing a clean local inspector’s report and applicants’ training plans. Owner‑representative said alcohol was a secondary offering (about 15% of sales at other locations) and explained a double‑check procedure that requires a lead cashier to approve alcohol sales and routine cash‑register carding for customers who appear young.

Staff noted an earlier sales‑to‑minor history at a different Taco Bar location (Gaithersburg) from 2017 and told the board the local inspector’s report showed no outstanding reinspection requirement. Commissioners encouraged active employee testing and internal audits; the board approved conditional licensing through March 31, 2026 so the applicant could finalize any remaining items.
