cheeseman Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Not sure how this works now about getting a liquor license in the City but years ago there was a finite number of licenses given out and unless you bought one from someone who had a license you were SOL. Now buying the license did not mean that you were automatically approved you still had to go through that process. All those little corner bars like when you would see all four corners of an intersection with 4 bars were a result of people getting a license and they had to stay open until they decided to sell it.

I don't think it's that hard. I know someone who has opened 3 restaurants in the city in the last couple of years without any major problem.

Now I’ve never worked in Restaurant/Bar/Liquor industry, but how can it be true that you truly have no idea when a liquor license will be granted? How are restaurants and bars supposed to build/renovate and then advertise an opening with zero idea when a liquor license is coming?

almaman Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 these guys have handled a good % of licenses in the city the last 1/2 century. https://hurleyandhurley.com/liquor-licenses/ there are rules uncomplicated but iron clad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 One possible reason for the delay is that the Alderwoman for the 17th Ward hasn't been exactly on top of things that she needs to sign off on when it comes to businesses in her ward. Don't know if that is the hold up on the liquor license or not, but it has been a problem for multiple other things in that ward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragging your feet on projects that will bring jobs/people/money to your ward… seems superrrrr smart but unfortunately I’m not surprised. edit: not a shot at that particular Alderwoman, I dont even know who she is. More a statement about people in the city not knowing a good thing if it came up and bit them in the face. AGB91 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelaundry Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Unfortunately looks like Humphreys won't be open until 5pm today (Saturday) per their Instagram. I was hoping to watch the Maryland game there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
