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.

Dear Governor Cuomo,
Thank you for your continued leadership as our state and nation work to contain the growth of the Covid-19 pandemic. I write to urge you and your administration to explore new and creative ways to assist our state’s locally-owned restaurants and bars as they struggle to keep their doors open. Specifically, I urge action to ease the financial burden of renewing an on-premises liquor license. With a recent survey from the New York State Restaurant Association suggesting that nearly two-thirds of our state’s restaurants may close by the end of the year, it is critical that we take action to save this important part of our economy and culture.
