Scenarios
Point Loma Beer Garden license remains active on ABC records
Discussed by: California ABC licensing reports
The type 23 license stays listed as active, and Finest City Beverage LLC remains the holder for 2817 Dickens St. This is the most likely path for a standard, uncontested license filing. It means the business continues under its current legal and regulatory standing.
California ABC revokes or lets Point Loma Beer Garden license lapse
Discussed by: California ABC enforcement filings
The license is suspended, revoked, or allowed to expire through non-renewal. This would remove the legal authorization for Finest City Beverage LLC to brew and sell beer at this location. It could stem from an ABC enforcement action or a business decision to surrender the permit.
Point Loma Beer Garden license changes hands
Discussed by: California ABC license transfer records
The license transfers to a new holder, or the trade name on the ABC record changes at 2817 Dickens St. This would indicate a change in ownership or legal entity operating the beer garden. The record does not currently reveal any sign of a pending transfer.
