ABOUT THIS DATA

How PourWire tracks Rochester in December 2026

Sources
Liquor license applications and building permits from state and city public records, currently NY SLA. 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 47 days between first filing and estimated opening: the window in which an operator is still choosing POS, payments, insurance and suppliers.
Stage
12 new.
License types
340 (6) · 240 (3) · 370 (3).
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.
