Are the restaurants in the book waiting for their liquor licenses?
A. No. Restaurants waiting for their liquor licenses (“temporary BYOBs”) are generally not listed in the book. All of the restaurants in the book either have no immediate plans to apply for their liquor licenses or are prohibited from doing so because of city ordinances or other restrictions. Although a certain number of restaurants will inevitably close or change business plans, you don’t have to worry about the book being out-of-date anytime soon.
