A full on-premises license is for a business that serves meals or runs a commercial establishment; it covers spirits by the drink, and the limited license covers beer, wine and cider. Apply online with the floor plan and the lease, take it to the city or county for its recommendation, and expect the OLCC investigator’s visit; servers hold an OLCC service permit and the business carries liquor liability insurance. Allow 60 to 90 days.
