Baltimore City - Alcoholic Beverages - 43rd Alcoholic Beverages District - Class B-D-7 Licenses

SB 788 allows Baltimore City to issue new Class B-D-7 alcoholic beverage licenses in three specific locations within the 43rd alcoholic beverages district: the 2600 block of Huntingdon Avenue, the 2700 block of Huntingdon Avenue (for three licenses), and the 300 block of West 29th Street. To qualify, applicants must earn at least 51% of daily sales from non-liquor items (like food), sign an agreement with the Greater Remington Improvement Association, and not operate a separate liquor package sales department. This bill amends Baltimore City’s licensing rules to permit these specific licenses in areas previously restricted under the 43rd district. It directly affects businesses seeking to operate alcohol-serving establishments in those precise West Baltimore neighborhoods. The changes take effect July 1, 2025.
