Texas Bar & Restaurant Alcohol Sales (Mixed Beverage Receipts)

Get the monthly liquor, wine, beer and cover-charge sales of every Texas bar, restaurant, hotel and venue with a mixed-beverage permit, straight from official Texas Comptroller data, filtered and ready for a spreadsheet.

Who is this for?

• Beer, wine and spirits distributors and brand reps who want to find the biggest-selling accounts in their territory
• Bar and restaurant suppliers, such as point-of-sale, glassware, ice, security and staffing companies, looking for venues that do serious volume
• Commercial real-estate brokers, investors and bar buyers checking how a venue or neighborhood is really performing
• Market researchers and journalists tracking nightlife and hospitality trends across Texas

What can I use it for?

1. Build a prospect list for a sales territory. Pull every venue in Harris County that sold more than $50,000 last month, sorted from highest to lowest, and your reps know who to call first.
2. Spot new and fast-growing venues. Pull the last 6 months for your city and compare month to month to see which places are ramping up (or slowing down) before your competitors notice.
3. Size up a location before you invest or lease. Look up a specific bar's history, or every venue in a ZIP code, to see real reported sales instead of guesses.

How much does it cost?

You pay $4 for every 1,000 results ($0.004 per row) and nothing else from this Actor. Apify's usual platform fees are already included in that price.

• The top 100 venues in a city costs about $0.40.
• Every venue in Houston for one month (about 2,500 rows) costs about $10.
• All of Texas for one month (about 21,000 rows) costs about $84.

Use Maximum results or Apify's "max cost per run" setting to cap what you spend. The Actor stops as soon as either limit is reached.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? From the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts dataset, published on the official Texas Open Data Portal (data.texas.gov). It's public information that every venue holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit must report each month. No login, scraping tricks or private sources are used.

How fresh is it? The state updates the dataset regularly, and venues file about a month after the month ends. The newest month is often only partly filed, so by default the Actor picks the newest month that is (nearly) fully reported. To see the partial newest month anyway, set the month fields yourself.

Does it include personal information? No. The Actor outputs the venue's business name and location only. It never outputs the permit holder's mailing address or tax ID. The permit holder's name is only shown when it's clearly a business (LLC, Inc., LP and so on), so names of private individuals are left out.

Why does a venue show $0? It filed a report but had no alcohol sales that month, for example because it closed, was renovating or was between owners. Use Minimum monthly sales to hide these rows.

Are these sales or profit? Gross receipts: the total amount the venue charged for alcoholic drinks (and cover charges) before costs. They are not profit.

Is this the same as a TABC license list? No. License lists tell you a venue is allowed to sell alcohol. This tells you how much it actually sold.

Can I run it every month automatically? Yes. Create a Schedule in Apify Console (for example, on the 20th of each month) and connect it to Google Sheets or a webhook.

Something's wrong or missing? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab and I'll take a look.
