Went to eat at Amicci’s in Baltimore’s Little Italy last week. The cause was celebratory, so I called ahead to see what their corkage policy was. I was told their liquor license wouldn’t allow BYOB. I’ve heard of restaurants now allowing BYOB, but wasn’t aware that Maryland came down decisively on either side of the issue.
So like any good blogger I dove right into the search and come up with this summary of Maryland liquor laws from gobyo.com
BYO is apparently permitted in licensed restaurants, provided the wine brought in is covered by the restaurant’s license.
Further, BYOB is explicitly allowed in Baltimore City even if the restaurant in question does not have a liquor license.
