The liquor agency is running out — once again — of bar licenses for potential business owners.
The state liquor commission handed out the last two bar permits for 2019 on Tuesday, awarding them to a new 'Bout Time Pub and Grub in Lehi and Pins & Ales Restaurant and Brew Pub in West Valley City.
Five other businesses — most with planned opening dates in November and December — were left on the waiting list.
Owners also were told the chances of getting a bar license would be slim during the first six months of 2020, because only three permits are expected to become available before July, when new state population information is available.
