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 Ohio

Use the DOLC's lookup at com.ohio.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 Ohio 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.

Bars and stores being sold: Ohio liquor licenses changing hands.

What each license allows: Ohio liquor license types, in plain words.

Questions about the Ohio page

How do I find new liquor license applications in Ohio?

Ohio publishes them at com.ohio.gov, where its tools answer one search at a time. This page reads that record as often as Ohio 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 Ohio?

Yes. The free Watch email sends each week's Ohio list on Monday: city, license type, status and date, without business names. A Ohio 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 Ohio page update?

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

Where does the Ohio data come from?

Every row is read from com.ohio.gov, the public record Ohio itself publishes, and links back to it. Nothing here comes from a reseller or a news report.

What does the free Ohio sample contain?

Every Ohio 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 Ohio page. Beer to go, store (C-1): Gas stations, groceries and drive-thrus; carryout beer only. The most common Ohio filing. Full bar until 2:30 a.m., restaurant or bar (D-5): The full-service bar and restaurant permit. Quota-limited by population, so a new one is a real opening or a transfer. Beer on premises, bar or restaurant (D-1): Draft and bottled beer at the table. On its own a beer-only spot; with a D-2 and D-3, the beer half of a full bar. Wine and mixed drinks to go, store (C-2): Carryout wine and bottled cocktails at a store; usually filed alongside a C-1. Private club, members only (D-4): Lodges, veterans' posts and country clubs; members and their guests. 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.
