Every restaurant and bar that just got licensed in metro Atlanta. Verified. Monthly.
A sales-ready list of new on-premises alcohol licensees — screened against renewals and ownership transfers, and enriched with opening status, website, and phone — delivered on the first of the month. Plus a pending list: establishments that have applied to a city or county license board but aren't in the state file yet.
How the list is built
Anyone can download the state spreadsheet. The work is in knowing which rows are real openings — and being able to reach them.
State file plus license boards
Every on-premises alcohol license in Georgia, pulled from the Department of Revenue and filtered to Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Cherokee, Forsyth, Henry, Douglas, and Fayette — plus pending applications read weekly from city and county license-board agendas, which surface weeks before the state file.
Renewal screening
Renewals and ownership transfers are issued new account numbers and look identical to openings in the raw data. Each record is checked against the open web and classified.
Contact enrichment
Trade name, opening status, website, social handle, and business phone, drawn from what the establishment itself publishes.
Monthly delivery
A spreadsheet in your inbox on the first of the month, with a citation on every row so a rep can verify any lead in under a minute.
What a row looks like
Ten recent entries from the current list. Subscribers also receive phone, website, social handle, license class, and the full address.

Questions
How is this different from local restaurant news?
Publications cover a handful of notable openings each week, without contact details. This list is comprehensive for the metro — including the taco spot in Buford and the sports bar in Duluth — and every row carries a phone number or web contact and a verification note.
How do you know an entry is actually a new business?
Roughly a third of new entries in the state file are renewals or ownership transfers of existing businesses. Each candidate is checked against press coverage, review history, and the business's own web presence before it makes the list. The evidence is on the row.
When in a restaurant's life does the license appear?
The state file lists a license at or shortly before opening — ideal for vendors who sign accounts at opening: distributors, linen, hood and grease, pest, POS, insurance, payroll. The pending list moves earlier: an application reaches a city or county license board weeks before approval, usually while the space is still being built out, which is when equipment, furniture, and signage decisions are made.
Where does the data come from?
Georgia Department of Revenue alcohol license records, county and city public records, and information the establishments themselves publish. No scraped personal data — business contact channels only.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time, with no notice period. You keep every list you've received.
What about other metros?
Atlanta first. If you need Charlotte, Nashville, or another Southeast metro, say so — demand decides what comes next.
