Liquor License Feed

Ohio liquor licenses changing hands

When a bar, restaurant or store is sold, the buyer files to take over its liquor license. The filing names the new owner and the address, often weeks before the handover. These are the Ohio transfers from the last 90 days, read from the DOLC's own record.

Why a transfer matters to a vendor

A new owner re-signs the insurance, often changes the point-of-sale system and the distributors, and re-bids linen, cleaning and the rest. The transfer filing is the earliest public notice of all of it.

We list filings from the public record. We don't broker licenses or businesses.

Every Monday. City, license type, status, date. No business names, no card.
