There is a Class H caterer’s beer, wine, and liquor license. The Board may issue the license to the owner or operator of a catering establishment that has: one or more banquet rooms suitable for public gatherings; and food preparation facilities on the premises. The license authorizes a holder to: contract with a sponsor of a public or private event to: provide food and alcoholic beverages; or provide food and allow patrons to bring personal alcoholic beverages onto the premises of the license holder for consumption at a catered event; and sell alcoholic beverages at retail at the premises described in the license for on–premises consumption. The annual license fee is equal to the fee for a Class B beer, wine, and liquor license as provided in § 16–902 of this title. The Board may not issue the license before payment of the fee is received by the Board. A hotel or restaurant that holds a Class B restaurant or hotel beer, wine, and liquor license is not required to obtain a Class H caterer’s license if catering is or has been a part of the services provided by the holder of the Class B license.
