In the interest of facilitating strong relationships between neighborhoods and businesses and minimizing common concerns associated with the sale of liquor, the City and County of Denver ensures that all key stakeholders have a voice in the liquor licensing process. Liquor licenses are a privilege, not a right, and residents, business owners, school officials, property owners and others affected by license applications all have the opportunity to express their opinions about the impacts of proposed alcohol outlets in their neighborhoods. The Denver Office of Drug Strategy has created a  guide that  provides neighborhood groups and residents with information and strategies to minimize the potential challenges of having alcohol outlets in their community.
