Liquor License Search – New Bar & Restaurant Leads (multi-state)

Search official state liquor license data from six states in one clean schema: business (DBA) and legal name, license type, a normalized business category (bar/restaurant, liquor/grocery store, manufacturer, wholesale), license number, status, issue / application / expiry dates, full premises address, county and (Missouri) phone.

Find new bars, restaurants and liquor stores the week they get licensed, catch pending applications before they open, or verify a liquor license by number.

Data comes from state open-data portals (Socrata APIs): New York State Liquor Authority, Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC), Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division, Missouri Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control, Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) and Connecticut DCP Liquor Control. No scraping, no login, no API key.

$1.50 per 1,000 licenses. You pay only for records saved.

Who uses it

• POS, payments and restaurant software sales teams: new restaurants and bars before they pick a system.
• Beer, wine and spirits distributors and brand reps: new on-premise and off-premise accounts in their territory.
• Insurance agents (liquor liability, BOP): every new licensee needs coverage.
• Food and restaurant suppliers, equipment, linen, signage, staffing, music licensing, marketing agencies.
• New-opening detection: pending applications (NY, TX, OR, CT) show businesses months before opening day.
• Compliance / KYC: confirm that a venue or retailer holds an active license.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? All sources were updated in October 2026; most portals refresh daily. Colorado's "recently approved" feed lags by a few weeks.

What does "new" mean per state? NY/TX: original issue date. CO: the state's recently approved list. MO: new liquor licenses list. OR: approved new applications by date received. CT: provisional permits (new premises) by effective date.

Are phone numbers or emails included? Only Missouri publishes phone numbers. No emails – combine with a website/contact finder.

Why does Colorado return nothing for the last 7 days? The state's recently approved feed is published with a delay; use 60–90 days.

Is this legal to use? The data is published by the states as open data for reuse. Respect alcohol-marketing and telemarketing rules in your outreach.

Other states? Washington, Iowa and others don't publish a current premises-license open dataset with addresses; more states will be added when they do.

Use with AI agents (Apify MCP)

Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client via the Apify MCP server (gazidev/liquor-license-leads) and ask: "List new restaurants licensed in Brooklyn this month" or "Is TABC license 100000290 active?". Inputs are simple JSON, outputs are flat records.
