Key Considerations:
Because the application is for a person and location transfer, consideration may be given both to the applicant's personal qualifications, and the location.
A Series 06 (bar - all spirituous liquor) allows a bar retailer to sell and serve spirituous liquors, primarily by individual portions, to be consumed on the premises and in the original container for consumption on or off the premises.
The deadline for issuing a recommendation on this application is July 1, 2013.
For a Series 06 liquor license, the applicant is required to provide the distance between the applicant’s business and the nearest church or school; the State does not require a geological map or list of licenses in the vicinity for any license series.
