liquor license

Alcohol sales authorization

A liquor license is official authorization from a government agency permitting a business to sell alcoholic beverages.

Different license types govern whether alcohol can be consumed on premises (bars, restaurants) or only sold for off-site consumption (liquor stores).

Obtaining one typically requires fees, inspections, and compliance with local regulations: The restaurant's liquor license was suspended after they served minors.
