Updated August 31, 2026: this page lists 10,093 liquor-licensed establishments in 411 BC cities and towns, from the BC Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch's official register. BC liquor licences are public record.
LicenceWatch BC turns the province's official licensed-establishments register into pages you can actually use — every restaurant, pub, liquor store, brewery and caterer with its licence class, licence number, address and expiry date, organized by city.
✓ Register re-pulled August 31, 2026 — no new licences this weekWhy LicenceWatch BC
British Columbia publishes its liquor licences as a raw spreadsheet buried on a government server. We index every one of its 10,093 licensed establishments into pages built for how people actually search.
Every row comes from the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch's official licensed-establishments file — licence numbers, licensees of record and expiry dates included. Nothing scraped from directories, nothing guessed.
City hub pages for "liquor licence Vancouver"-style lookups, licence-class pages when you need every Food Primary or Licensee Retail Store in the province, and a full record page for each establishment.
The register is re-pulled weekly and diffed licence-by-licence, so new approvals surface on the new-this-week page — and soon, straight to your inbox.
Browse by city
Each city page lists every establishment on the register with its licence class, address, licence number and expiry — plus the full record behind each one. The 24 largest markets are below; every other community follows A–Z.
Browse by licence class
From Food Primary restaurants to Licensee Retail Stores and manufacturers — see everything the register holds under each class.
