No phone on a filing yet? That usually means you're early. A new filing is often a place that hasn't opened, so there's no listing to call. You get the name and the address now, and we keep looking for a phone for a month and add it when one turns up.

How to look up a liquor license in California

Use the ABC's lookup at www.abc.ca.gov to check one license by name, number or address. This page lists what's new, from the same record.

Every row here is a public record California publishes. We check each state's rules before we carry it and leave out any that restrict commercial use of licensee lists; so far that's only Kansas. About the data.

Questions about the California page

How do I find new liquor license applications in California?

California publishes them at www.abc.ca.gov, where its tools answer one search at a time. This page reads that record as often as California updates it and lists what's new by county, city and license type, each row linked back to the filing.

Can I get an alert when a new bar or restaurant shows up in California?

Yes. The free Watch email sends each week's California list on Monday: city, license type, status and date, without business names. A California subscription, $79 a month, sends every new filing the morning after it appears, with the business name and address, and for new bars and restaurants a phone number or website looked up online where the state prints none. A CSV, an API and webhooks come with every plan.

How often does the California page update?

The California source refreshes every weekday, and this page is rebuilt from it each morning.

Where does the California data come from?

Every row is read from www.abc.ca.gov, the public record California itself publishes, and links back to it. Nothing here comes from a reseller or a news report.

What does the free California sample contain?

Every California filing from one full week a few weeks back, in the layout a subscriber gets: business, address, license type, status, the date filed, and a phone or website where we found one. The link to each state record is left blank; subscribers get it. It downloads ready for HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, AgencyZoom or Repsly.

What do the license types mean?

The types you will see most on the California page. Type 41, restaurant beer & wine: Restaurant with beer and wine; no spirits. Type 47, restaurant full liquor: Full bar in a bona fide restaurant; the one worth the most on the resale market. Type 21, off-sale general (liquor store): Liquor store, grocery or big-box selling spirits, wine and beer to go. Type 20, off-sale beer & wine: Convenience store, gas station or market selling beer and wine to go. Type 48, bar or nightclub full liquor: Full bar, 21-and-over, no food required. Every row shows the type by its plain name; the i beside it opens the state's own wording.

What is left out?

One-day and temporary permits (weddings, festival booths, charity auctions, tastings), and licenses nobody sells to: wholesalers, suppliers, importers, shippers, carriers, and employee or manager permits. Breweries, wineries and distilleries stay in. The first time we read a state we also treat everything it already listed as the starting point, not as new filings.
