A liquor license is required for any business that sells or produces alcohol. This includes bars and restaurants, but also breweries, distilleries, wineries, and other types of businesses as well. Before you get started, you should contact the Michigan Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) to discuss your business and what license will be necessary. You will need to get local approval from the City of Kalamazoo before completing your application with the MLCC. There is a $350 application fee for local approval for a liquor license, including social district approval. For Redevelopment Liquor Licenses, there is an additional $75 fee to apply.
