We’ve been following the drama over the liquor license for Club U for quite some time now, but there are of course numerous other establishments that must deal with the Alcohol Control Board in one way or another. The ABC has a full plate today. Much of it is just normal procedural stuff, but then there are some other interesting items.

From the Alcohol Beverage Regulation Administration we learn that the Grog and Tankard on Wisconsin Avenue has a “Show Cause Hearing” which sounds sort of sinister. (Could the pesky neighbors in Glover Park be agitated over something?) Rhino Bar in Georgetown also has a “Show Cause Hearing” this afternoon.

What sounds more sinister are the “Fact-Finding Hearings” scheduled for today. Abdul Productions II, Inc. has a hearing at 11 a.m. for its Platinum nightclub on F Street downtown as does Deno’s Enterprises, Inc.’s Club Rio on Bladensburg Road.
