The New York State Liquor Authority (SLA) and it's agency arm, the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) were established as part of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law (ABC Law) in 1934. The ABC Law was enacted by the Legislature to provide for the protection, health, welfare and safety of the people of the State. The SLA has two main functions: issuing licenses and permits; and ensuring compliance with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law. The Authority's licensing activities focus on the timely processing of permits and licenses. The SLA's Licensing Bureau is responsible for the statewide processing of licenses, license renewals, permits and brand label registrations. The Authority's enforcement activities focus on the protection of the public by working with local law enforcement agencies and local communities to bring administrative actions against licensees who violate the law.

This dataset includes premises licensed by the Licensing Bureau of SLA. There are four main groups of liquor licenses: on-premises licenses (e.g., bars, restaurants, taverns, hotels); off-premises licenses (e.g., liquor stores, wine stores, grocery stores, convenience stores, drug stores); manufacturing licenses (e.g., breweries, wineries, distilleries, cideries, meaderies); and wholesale licenses (e.g., beer wholesalers, wine wholesalers, importers). Each licensee is registered with license serial number, premise name, doing business as name, address, license type, license issue date, effective data, expiration date, etc.

To give New Yorkers the access they deserve to government data and information, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo launched the Open NY initiative in March 2013 and signed Executive Order 95. It directs state agencies to identify, catalog, and publish their data on the state's open data website administered by the Office of Information Technology Services (ITS). Open NY increases transparency, improves government performance, empowers New Yorkers to participate in government, and encourages research and economic opportunities statewide.
