The Baltimore City Liquor board has suspended the liquor license of a Fells Point strip bar for one year.
The suspension came after a liquor board hearing over charges that owners of Chubbies operated the club later than allowed by their license in July.
The bar has also come under intense criticism by community leaders who said the adult entrainment establishment which had been grandfathered into the Fells Point neighborhood 30 years ago has been a magnet for crime and blight.
Liquor board chairman Stephen Fogleman said the decision was based on community complaints and lack of follow through with the board regarding compliance issues from past violations of thier license, including operating hours.
“The community was upset and that certainly had an impact,” said Fogleman. 
The one-year closure will include 5 months of “time served,” reflecting the five month period after the club was shut down July 4th by liquor board investigators. The club reo-opened in December oin weekends.
