Posted January 7, 2013 - The Harford County Liquor Control Board accepted fines last week from three restaurants that sold alcohol to minors and approved the closure of an Aberdeen hotel's restaurant and nightclub.

Three eateries paid fines for liquor violations totaling $2,500 to the board, as approved by the board's at its most recent meeting in Bel Air on Wednesday, Jan. 2.

Open Door Cafe in Bel Air paid a $1,000 fine, Madonna Seafood Restaurant paid $500 and Pat's Pizzeria in Edgewood paid $1,000.

Posted August 23, 2012 - The Harford County Liquor Control Board denied a new liquor license Wednesday because there is "no need" for the business in the area, even though the space where the new store sought to open was once a liquor store.

A hearing was held at last week's meeting for Del Plaza Wine and Spirits, which was applying for a liquor license at 804 Conowingo Road in Bel Air. Before it became a hair studio, which has since closed, the site in the shopping center was a liquor store.

Underage college students, working undercover with police and the county liquor board, walked into seven different private clubs in Harford County on separate occasions over the weekend and were sold an alcoholic drink.

At one club, a law officer accompanying the student was asked to leave because of his attire, and initially refused, according to a liquor inspector who was present.
