The Caroline County Liquor Board convened on April 4, 2025, to discuss the annual liquor license renewals for local businesses. The meeting highlighted several key establishments and their licensing statuses, focusing on compliance and pending requirements.

One of the primary discussions centered on B and B Tavern, which holds two licenses: a Class D beer, wine, and liquor license for on-premise sales and a Class D beer license for off-premise sales. The tavern is currently awaiting the comptroller's sales tax release and a certificate of good standing from the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT). As they are not in good standing at this time, their renewal will be approved once these issues are resolved.

The board also reviewed Denton Diner, which operates under a Class B beer, wine, and liquor restaurant hotel license for seven days of on-premise sales. The diner is pending its business license and reported that its alcohol sales account for only 0.02% of total sales, indicating a strong focus on food service.

Additionally, the board mentioned Denton Goose Creek, which operates under the corporate name Denton Arby's. The specifics of their licensing status were not detailed in the transcript, but the mention indicates ongoing evaluations of local businesses.

The meeting underscored the importance of compliance with state regulations for liquor licenses, as businesses must meet specific criteria to maintain their licenses. The board's decisions will ensure that these establishments can continue to operate legally while adhering to local laws.
