Bar Bad Bars: Protest of Renewal 2026

WEDNESDAY, november 12, 2025
5:30 PM – 6:30 PM EST

A workshop for community leaders and neighbors who are concerned about nuisance liquor stores and bars in their neighborhoods.

What are your community’s options for dealing with a nuisance bar or liquor store? Whether you already have a detailed log of code violations and just want to check that you’re as ready as possible to protest the renewal of their license – OR – whether you feel totally clueless, learn more in this workshop.

• PLEASE NOTE: If your Baltimore City community association would like our assistance to protest a liquor license during the 2026 renewal season, you MUST submit a complete application to Community Law Center. Each year, licenses are renewed in the Spring, so our deadline to apply for CLC assistance in your liquor license renewal protest is in early February, as it takes time to draft and sign petitions, and prepare your case.
  
  We encourage you to submit as soon as possible: https://communitylaw.org/applying-for-legal-services-instructions/. Contact Denice Ko, Esq. with questions: gro.walytinummoc@ecined.
