Liquor Licenses

The Village Code of the Village of Lincolnwood designates the Village President as the Local Liquor Commissioner.  As such, the Liquor Commissioner is empowered by the State of Illinois to adopt rules and regulations governing the conduct and operation of all liquor licensees in the Village.

When, in the opinion of the Liquor Commissioner, the health, safety, and welfare of the Village would be better served through an amendment of the regulations governing the sale and/or distribution of alcohol, he/she is to make a recommendation to the Village Board that it adopt an Ordinance approving the recommended changes.

The Village has 21 liquor licenses which are all filled.  Licenses are issued on a case by case basis.  If anyone is interested in obtaining a liquor license, please submit your request in writing to the Liquor Commissioner at Village Hall.  Be sure to include the type of business, the address, hours of operation and types of alcohol that you desire to sell/serve.  Any questions can be directed to the Executive Secretary at  (847) 745-4717.
