The exceedingly complicated laws regulating the City of Chicago's liquor licenses have just gotten even more complicated. Dry precincts are areas in the City of Chicago that have been voted dry by the voting constituents. Up until now, restaurants and bars still could open there and allow "BYOB" or bring your own beer/wine/alcohol. Alderman Deb Graham has just introduced a bill to prohibit allowing BYOB establishments in the already established "dry precincts."
Prior to opening a new bar or restaurant in the city, it is important to do your homework regarding zoning and licensing capabilities. The food and beverage team at Clark Hill can certainly help with both the background work, zoning considerations, licensing, and advise you about the licensing options, as well as restrictions like moratoriums and dry precincts.
