Liquor Licensing

If you plan to sell alcohol, consume alcohol in public (for example in a City Park), or serve alcohol to the general public, Colorado requires you to obtain license approval. The Clerk's Office coordinates liquor licensing for the City of Gunnison for both retail licenses and special event permits.  The Clerk's Office is here to guide you through the process. For questions, please call 970-641-8080.  
State liquor code, rules, and most liquor license applications and renewal applications can be found at the State of Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division's website at: https://sbg.colorado.gov/apply-for-a-license-or-permit-liquor-enforcement-division
