Key Considerations:
Because the application is for both a person transfer and location transfer, consideration may be given to both the applicant's personal qualifications and the location.
A Series 07 beer and wine bar license allows a beer and wine bar retailer to sell and serve beer and wine, 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 November 9, 2013.
For a Series 07 beer and wine bar 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.
