Businesses that sell and serve beer, wine, and/or distilled spirits are required to obtain a City of Suwanee alcohol license. The City of Suwanee offers a variety of licenses for businesses that have on-premise consumption of alcohol, including:

• Eating establishment with full service kitchen
• Brewpub
• Brewery or distillery with taproom
• Performance facility
• Downtown pub/wine bar (Town Center district only)
• Mobile food vendor-served eating establishment (Town Center district only)
• Hotel/motel in-room service
• Private club
• Sports club
• Indoor commercial recreation establishment
• Beer and wine amenity permit
• Art shop

The majority of licenses must be reviewed by the City Council during a public hearing. Upon approval by the City Council, the city license will be issued and then the process may begin for receiving a license from the state of Georgia. Please account for these multiple approval steps in your overall schedule.

The requirements, process, and fees are outlined in the Alcohol License Guide & Application. Download the Noncriminal Privacy Rights Form here.
