Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I open with a temporary permit?

Often yes. A temporary permit lets you open while the permanent license is reviewed, provided eligibility and disclosure requirements are satisfied.

Ready to move your liquor license forward?

Before you sign a lease, invest in buildout, or appear before a Community Board, speak with an attorney who understands New York's liquor licensing process.
