Liquor Licensing Info

Helpful Information

Every state regulates the sale of alcohol differently, and the type of liquor license you need depends on your business, your location, and how you plan to serve. Below is an overview of liquor licensing in several states we work in, along with a look at some of the common license types you may encounter.

New Jersey Liquor Licenses

Licensing Solutions, Inc. can help you throughout the process of obtaining your Plenary Retail Consumption License in the state of New Jersey. The New Jersey Division of ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) regulates all of the sales of alcoholic beverages and the conduct of those who purchase liquor licenses. Owners of liquor licenses are then granted the privilege of operating a business or establishment within the state.

Pennsylvania Liquor Licenses

Licensing Solutions, Inc. helps restaurant owners navigate the requirements and guidelines set by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. The board provides liquor licenses to over 20,000 businesses within the commonwealth. The PLCB also personally oversees and operates all of the Wine and Spirits stores in Pennsylvania, thus no “Liquor Store Only” licenses are offered. The Restaurant class liquor license is the most prevalent within Pennsylvania.

Florida Liquor Licenses

To meet the needs of its business owners and the public, the state of Florida offers over thirty different types of licenses and permits that relate to the sale of alcohol. While the state’s licensing board can authorize an almost unlimited amount of liquor licenses for the sale of wine and beer, there are but a limited amount of the licenses that can actually be issued for the sale of liquor and distilled spirits.

About Various Liquor Licenses

Some commonly used liquor license types include:

Beer & Wine
Restaurant
Retail
Package
Other Eating Places

Some classes may be titled differently depending on the area in which you are located. A beer & wine license, for example, allows for the serving of only beer and wine, but not for the sale of any liquor or distilled spirits. Sometimes a state or city will authorize a beer-only or wine-only variation of this license.
