City Clerk - License Division_Update Frequency: Datasets are refreshed every night to ensure the most current information is available. Even if there are no changes, the data will be updated nightly_ Liquor Licenses allow persons to sell alcohol beverages to individual retail customers, from a particular place (premises). The sale must occur at the licensed premises, with the buyer and seller both physically present at the time of sale. Licenses are issued by municipalities (The City of Milwaukee) which determine that the applicant is qualified for the license. No one can sell alcohol beverages (or give away for a commercial purpose) or allow consumption in a public place without getting the appropriate license or permit. _Note: the REST endpoint GIS service only shows active licenses._ __To download XML and JSON files, click the CSV option below and click the down arrow next to the Download button in the upper right on its page.__liquorlicensesengMilwaukee Open DataPublicCity ServicesLiquor LicensesDatasetsWisconsin--MilwaukeeWisconsinLast Modified: 2026-05-29
