ABOUT THIS DATA

How PourWire tracks Koreatown

Sources
Liquor license applications and building permits from state and city public records — currently CA ABC · LADBS. 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 55 days between first filing and estimated opening — the window in which an operator is still choosing POS, payments, insurance and suppliers.
Stage
7 new · 12 in buildout · 19 approved.
License types
41 (22) · 47 (7).
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.
