The District announces 12 fewer retail and 3 fewer wholesale liquor establishments year over year while license renewals total 614 retail and 125 wholesale. Excise receipts amount to about 448,700. Police will review compliance before licenses are issued and hearings may follow. Several venues cite personal reasons for closing rather than regulatory pressure. Women are reportedly opposed to Aquor gate access, possibly hindering renewals for some saloons.
