The final step in awarding the borough’s first -and only, at this point -hotel/motel liquor license was among a series of items approved by the Ship Bottom Borough Council at its April meeting.

The council unanimously approved Resolution 2019-63 granting the issuance of a hotel exception liquor license to Baldwin Residence LLC, trading as Hotel LBI. The license went into effect April 24 and is good through June 30, when, like all other liquor licenses in the borough, it will expire.
