One county's names and addresses, free. Pick a county above. Phones, owners and history on the newest three; the rest come with a subscription. See pricing.
Subscribers see them all, with name and address. Many include a phone number. In Iowa the email also carries closings and sales and who was at an address before, from records back to 2012.
Start the free trial — Iowa, then $79/moSee a sample emailNo 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 Iowa
Use the ABD's lookup at idh-be.iowa.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 Iowa 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 Iowa page
How do I find new liquor licenses in Iowa?
The Iowa record this page reads lists licenses once they're issued, not applications while they're pending; Iowa publishes it at idh-be.iowa.gov. A newly issued license is the public sign of a place about to open. This page reads that record as often as Iowa updates it and lists the new licenses by county, city and license type, each linked back to the record.
Can I get an alert when a new bar or restaurant shows up in Iowa?
Yes. The free Watch email sends each week's Iowa list on Monday: city, license type, status and date, without business names. A Iowa 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 Iowa page update?
The Iowa source refreshes about once a month, and this page is rebuilt from it on that schedule.
Where does the Iowa data come from?
Every row is read from idh-be.iowa.gov, the public record Iowa itself publishes, and links back to it. Nothing here comes from a reseller or a news report.
What does the free Iowa sample contain?
Every Iowa 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 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.
