An Overview of the Types of Liquor Licenses in New York

Are you preparing to launch a business that serves alcohol in Manhattan? You must have the appropriate license. Liquor license is largely handled at the state level. Licenses are approved by the New York State Liquor Authority (NYSLA). For those seeking to obtain a New York liquor license, the right expert legal advice is essential. A business in Manhattan may need one or more of the following types of liquor licensing:

  • OP (Full): The OP license allows full liquor sales for on-premises consumption, ideal for bars, restaurants, and nightclubs that want to offer a complete range of alcoholic beverages.
  • HL (Hotel): The HL license is designated for hotels looking to serve liquor both in the room and in designated public areas like hotel bars and banquet halls.
  • CL (Club): A CL license is tailored for private clubs where alcohol is served to members and their guests, maintaining a private, membership-based atmosphere.
  • RW (Restaurant): The RW license permits restaurants to serve wine and beer. It can complement food offerings—without the need for a full liquor menu.
  • EB (Eating Place): An EB license allows smaller eateries to serve beer on their premises.
