The Charles County Board of Licensed Commissioners met on October 9, 2025, to consider multiple alcohol beverage license applications, notifications, and routine matters. The meeting began at 9:00 AM (implied from transcript). Key actions included approval of a temporary license for a baseball fundraiser, a new restaurant license, addition of entertainment to a tavern, an extension for a pending restaurant opening, and acceptance of seasonal closure notifications.
Temporary Alcohol License for Calvert Cure Baseball – Jeremy Largen applied for a one-day Class C temporary license for a golf tournament fundraiser on November 7, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at White Plains Golf Course, 1015 St. Charles Parkway, White Plains, MD, with approximately 120 attendees. The applicant stated that alcohol would be included in the $100 ticket price and served only from the pavilion. Board members noted the lack of a TIPS/TAM certified server or security personnel and questioned the applicant's authorization to represent the nonprofit. The board approved the license contingent upon the applicant providing a signed authorization from the president or vice president of Calvert Cure Baseball to the clerk before issuance. The board strongly recommended obtaining a TIPS/TAM certified person for the event.
New Class BR License for El Tucan Mexican Grill – David Martinez represented applicant Giolinda Juaza for a new restaurant, beer, wine, and liquor license for SL2 Can Mexican Grill LLC, operating at 4356 Indian Head Highway, Indian Head, MD. The restaurant has been open since March 2025 and seeks to add alcohol service. Owners have over 10 years of alcohol sales experience. All five employees are alcohol awareness certified.

Addition of Entertainment for World Class Billiard Room – David Martinez represented applicant Aaron Hamm for World Class Billiard Room LLC at 2720 Crain Highway, Waldorf, MD, which holds a Class BT Tavern license. The owner requested adding inside entertainment (e.g., karaoke) to accommodate customer requests. No violations or calls to the establishment were reported. The board approved the entertainment amendment to the existing license unanimously.
60-Day Extension for Pier House Restaurant – Aaron McGovern, owner of Pier House Restaurant LLC at 16320 Cobb Island Road, Newburgh, MD, requested an additional 60 days to obtain the health permit and Use and Occupancy (UNO) permit. He described challenges with county permitting and health department requirements that delayed opening. The board expressed concern about county business-friendliness but approved the extension unanimously. The board requested the applicant keep them informed of progress and seek further extension if needed.
