A tavern must have the appropriate license from the Baltimore City Board of Liquor License Commissioners. Taverns may sell alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption only if:annually, the average daily receipts from the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption exceeds 50% of the establishment’s total average daily receipts, not including sales of novelty items, income from vending machines, cover charges, or other receipts not derived from the sale of food or beverages; and more than 50% of the establishment’s public floor space is devoted to on-premises consumption. Taverns must keep accurate records of all sales of alcoholic beverages so that a determination can be made of what proportion of those sales are in sealed packages or containers for off-premise consumption. These records must be maintained and made available for inspection to confirm compliance. Ord. 16-581 Ord. 17-015 Ord. 18-216
