The Revere Hotel on Stuart Street faces a Boston Licensing Board hearing next week on a police citation for giving guests a free glass of sparkling wine.
The alleged violation occurred on Sept. 6. Two weeks later, the board found "no violation" in a similar case involving the Liberty Hotel, whose lawyer argued a ban on free booze only applies to happy hours, not to situations involving a free flute of sparkling wine offered to guests on checking in.
The hearing starts at 10 a.m. on Oct. 23.
