Opposing hearing blocks relaxed liquor license standards in Frederick County
About 50 residents and restaurateurs attended at Winchester Hall to oppose a proposal by the Frederick County Liquor Commission to count bar stools toward a 50-seat requirement for full-service liquor licenses. Only the Thurmont tavern owner and two others spoke in favor, with opponents warning of more bars and neighborhood character being harmed. The plan would modify Class B license rules to count bar seating, with an amendment limiting eligibility to licenses held five years or more. Commission Chair James E. McClellan called the 50-seat rule arbitrary from 31 years ago.
