Summer 2026 Boston Hospitality Office Hours

The City of Boston Licensing Board is hosting virtual office hours addressing any questions related to how to participate in the events of the summer, as well as the liquor license application process. These office hours take place bi-weekly on Wednesdays from 3 pm to 5 pm.

If you have questions about hour extensions, your entertainment license, applying for a new liquor license, or upgrading an existing beer and wine license, we encourage you to attend.

The number of liquor licenses in the City of Boston is established by Massachusetts General Law. The City of Boston Licensing Board issues licenses pending availability.
