BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â During the pandemic, bars and restaurants like Mr. Goodbar in Buffalo have had to keep renewing liquor licenses, even though theyâre in an Orange Zone and shut down to customers. You re paying for a service and a revenue that you are not making, Bobby Rabb, owner of Mr. Goodbar said.
It s a difficult pill to swallow, especially with the price attached. It can be $3,500 for each licensee, Cory Muscato, President of the NYS Distillers Guild and partner at Lockhouse Distillery said, especially if the bar or restaurant isn t open or being utilized, it can be helpful to abate or stretch that.
