Brooklyn On-Premise Liquor License Approved in 3 Months

We are always happy when we can obtain a new license for one of our clients, but this time we are especially happy with the time in which we achieved the result. GEMS Bar & Lounge located at 1595 Broadway in Bushwick is the newest concept on the block, residing in a newly built luxury property.

The James Firm submitted the GEM’s license application in September when the lounge was still in the beginning stages of construction. By December, before construction even complete, GEMS was approved for their full liquor license. The application was attorney-certified and approved without any deficiencies, which reduced the processing time dramatically.

If you are looking to apply for a liquor license, you have probably heard of the lengthy timeframe of obtaining it. The State Liquor Authority is taking longer to process liquor license applications for a variety of reasons and processing times have increased incredibly. The current timeframes for license review are as follows:

• Non attorney-certified applications: 5.5 months from filing to approval

• Attorney-certified applications: 4 months from filing to approval

• Temporary liquor licenses: 3 weeks from filing to approval

It has never been more important to hire our firm to handle your liquor license application process for you.
