I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“I am a practicing physician since 2007. I will be operating the bar on the stipulated days and hours which are outside of the hours which are outside of the hours of my practice. Additionally, I will be attending both Basic and Management Liquor Law so I can guide my staff in following all laws. Furthermore, my company policies will be more strict than State law to prevent over intoxication and sales to underage. It is my desire to establish a bar that is safe and provides entertainment for local residents.”
The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
“This is an existing bar however, I will be hiring new staff to comply with State, City and County statues. Employees will be required to attend a certified alcohol training class to be able to identify intoxicated customers on the premises and purchase/consume alcoholic beverages. Lastly, I want to build strong community relationship with local neighborhoods and law enforcement.”
