State Liquor Authority
All businesses serving alcholic beverages are required by the SLA to submitt applications for a Liquor License. The applicants are required to be fingerprinted and a background check is done to see if there are any 'ties' to undersirable activities, and if the applicant has ever been arrested for a crime or a 'Drunk while driving (DWI) or 'Under the influence of drugs' arrest. They can tell you about the place of business, it's location and when it exsisted. As of my inquiry they did NOT charge a fee.
