Every bar with a live license application or build-out permit on file in Houston. Bar-first venues carry different licenses, longer fit-outs and different suppliers than restaurants — this is that slice on its own.
Estimated from filing type and filing date — liquor applications run 60–120 days ahead of doors, build-out permits 90–150.
Public pages run 30 days behind. These are the ones still early enough to matter — names go to subscribers the day they're filed.
Filed more than 30 days ago, so names are shown in full — they're public record either way. Owner contact and the exact street number stay on the paid feed.
