As a surprise to no one, it’s very difficult to get a liquor license in Utah. For one, the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services only has a limited number to hand out based on population. While new legislation added additional licenses (30 restaurant licenses and 15 bar licenses), it’s still an extensive approval process. [Salt Lake Tribune]
Here are the bars and restaurants that got new licenses in July:
- Citizens in SLC
- Finca Pintxos Bar in SLC
- Number 36 in Springville
- The White House in Park City
- Cafe Sabor in Cedar City
- La Costa Mexican Restaurant in American Fork
- Lulu’s Hot Oven in South Jordan
- Taqueria Martini in Taylorsville
- Vintage Restaurant Bar & Grill in Heber City
