ABOUT THIS DATA

How PourWire tracks Downtown Austin

Sources
Liquor license applications and building permits from state and city public records — currently TX TABC · Austin DSD. Every signal on this page names the government system it came from.
Cadence
Polled daily. A filing appears here the day the source indexes it.
Lead time
Median 53 days between first filing and estimated opening — the window in which an operator is still choosing POS, payments, insurance and suppliers.
Stage
12 new · 2 in buildout.
License types
MB (11) · FB (5).
Method
Signals sharing an address collapse into one venue, so a place filing both a liquor application and a build-out permit counts once — and scores higher for it.
