CAN I BRING ALCOHOL INTO ILLINOIS?
You cannot bring more than minimal amounts of alcohol into the State of Illinois. Illinois has placed many restrictions on the importation of alcohol. These restrictions not only apply to businesses, but also apply to individual Illinois residents. Federal law gives Illinois full authority to regulate the flow of alcohol into the State. The restrictions on shipping alcohol into Illinois not only apply to manufacturers and wholesalers, but to individuals as well. Illinois law governing the shipment and distribution of alcohol is extremely complex. If you have any questions regarding the transportation of liquor or any related licensing issues, please contact us.
CAN I GET APPROVAL FOR CHICAGO LIQUOR LICENSE BEFORE I BUILD MY RESTAURANT?
The construction of a new restaurant, or substantial renovation of an existing location, is a major financial undertaking for any business owner. However, the approval process for a City of Chicago liquor license requires several inspections by the City. Obviously, the City cannot inspect your property until the construction or renovation is completed. The City of Chicago has established a conditional approval process for businesses applying for a Consumption on Premises-Incidental Activity License, Package Goods License, or Tavern License. The conditional approval process ensures that a business owner can obtain assurance from the City of Chicago that it will issue a liquor license to the new or recently renovated business upon completion of the project.
The experienced liquor license attorneys at Hays Firm LLC are available to assist you in the process of applying for and gaining conditional approval of your liquor license application based on the plans and specifications of your project.
