Guidance for Liquor Licenses During The COVID-19 Crisis

There have been important changes to the state liquor license regulations in New York during the recent COVID-19 crisis. In this episode Jessica Glass, a partner with the law firm of Stenger, Roberts, Davis and Diamond, SRDD Law reviewed those changes and how businesses need to prepare. We discussed how restaurants and bars want to utilize outdoor space and have more contactless space for customers. Jessica covered the information you need to provide to the State Liquor Authority in order to do this. And as we move into more phases in New York, what restaurants and bars will need to do if they want to make that space permanent. Jessica recommended referring to the SLA website to keep up with the policies and changes. Jessica reminded everyone that even if you have permission from the SLA to do an expansion, temporary or permanent, you still need to comply with your municipal regulations. We discussed how alcohol take away is still available in New York and how businesses with liquor licenses need to comply. We wrapped this episode with Jessica sharing some best practices from her bar and restaurant clients.
