The Worcester Board of License Commissioners convened on July 16, 2025, to discuss a new application for a Class B beer, wine, and liquor license for a restaurant named Hang 10, located at 104 West Green Street in Snow Hill, Maryland. The meeting highlighted the importance of compliance with alcoholic beverage laws, particularly in ensuring that all staff serving alcohol are properly trained.

Julie, one of the restaurant managers, confirmed her experience as a server and her certification in Techniques of Alcohol Management (TAM). She emphasized the commitment to training all employees in responsible alcohol service, stating, "I absolutely want every person that comes through that service to be through that course." This proactive approach aims to prevent underage drinking and over-serving, which are critical concerns for the community.

The board discussed the restaurant's operational plans, including the intention to host live music two nights a week from 6 PM to 9 PM. However, there will be no off-sale alcohol or entertainment options like disc jockeys or pool tables, which aligns with the board's focus on maintaining a family-friendly environment.

The application received unanimous support from the board members, reflecting confidence in the management's ability to uphold community standards. The approval of this license is seen as a positive development for the local economy, promising to enhance dining options in the area while ensuring responsible service practices.

As the meeting concluded, the board expressed excitement about the new establishment, indicating a hopeful outlook for its contribution to the community. The next steps involve finalizing the licensing process, with the board encouraging the management to keep them informed as they prepare for opening.
