Search licensed establishments by city, confirm a venue’s AGCO licence number and status in seconds, and watch the “opening soon” feed of pending applications — all sourced straight from Ontario’s public open data.
The AGCO publishes liquor licences and public-notice applications as raw spreadsheets. We turn them into something a diner, a realtor, a supplier, or a curious neighbour can actually use.
Look up any establishment by city and confirm its active Liquor Sales Licence number, status and endorsements — the authoritative answer, not a guess.
New liquor-licence applications post a public notice with an objection deadline. We surface them per city so you see new venues taking shape before they open.
Every record carries its real street address and postal code, so you can find what’s licensed on a given street or in a given neighbourhood.
The AGCO’s Liquor Sales Licences open-data file lists roughly 24,214 licence records, of which about 17,453 are active. This tracker concentrates on Ontario’s highest-density cities first.
Pick a city to see every licensed bar, restaurant and venue we track there — plus the local pending-application feed.
Every establishment licensed to sell liquor in Ontario holds a Liquor Sales Licence issued by the AGCO. You can search this directory by city to find the legal entity, premises name, licence number, address, endorsements and key dates exactly as published in AGCO Open Data.
If a venue holds an active Liquor Sales Licence it appears in the AGCO open dataset that powers this tracker. Find the city, then the establishment, to confirm its licence number and status. An active licence confirms the venue is authorised to sell liquor — it does not describe hours or menu.
When someone applies for a new liquor licence, the AGCO posts a public notice with an objection deadline. We surface those notices per city. A pending application proves a licence was applied for at that address — it does not mean the venue has opened or what it will serve.
All records are pulled from AGCO Open Data at agco.ca: the Liquor Sales Licences file and the Applications Undergoing Public Notice file. We re-present public records and link back to the source. We are not affiliated with the AGCO.
We’re building paid address-level alerts: tell us a street or neighbourhood and get a heads-up the moment a new liquor-licence application posts its public notice nearby. Join the early-access list.
