Process

Every month, the License Commission meets to consider applications for new or amended licenses, hold disciplinary hearings, and consider any other license-related matters put before it.  The agenda is determined two weeks in advance of the meeting, and finalized one week before.  Most applications should be submitted at least 2 ½ weeks in advance of the meeting to accommodate legal notice requirements. 

Upon approval by the License Commission, liquor licenses must then be approved by the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC).  Once approved by the ABCC, licenses may be issued by the Revere License Commission office.  No license amendment or new license may be considered valid until it has been issued by this office. 

Application forms and instructions are available from the License Commission office.  Liquor license forms and instructions are available at the ABCC website, but please note that on-premises liquor licenses require City of Revere application forms as well as the ABCC forms. 

Licensing Rules and Regulations

The License Commission operates under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapters 138 and 140, Revere City Ordinances, and License Commission regulations.

License Commission Meetings

The License Commission meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 3:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber on the 2nd floor in Revere City Hall, 281 Broadway, Revere.  Meetings are posted outside the City Clerk’s office in City Hall, and on the Calendar of Events. All meetings are open to the public.
