Baltimore liquor board wants Sangria to resolve issues with Mount Vernon neighbors before license can be renewed

Three Baltimore businesses at risk of losing their liquor licenses were granted a renewal Thursday by the city’s Board of Liquor License Commissioners. But a fourth business will need to hash out concerns about security, operating hours and more before commissioners will approve another year of alcohol sales. The board gave Sangria, a Mount Vernon lounge, 10 days to seek mediation for issues with its neighbors, who said they are worried about two recent shootings near the business, and have concerns about the parameters of a memorandum of understanding, or MOU, between the community and Sangria that dates back to 2016.
