The City of Minnetonka issues liquor licenses for establishments serving liquor.

When the city receives an application for an on-sale liquor (restaurant/hotel), off-sale liquor (retail) or brewery taproom license, the city is required to hold two public hearings to consider the application.

At the city council meeting, the mayor will open the public hearing and continue to a future date (at least 27 days after the first). The public is invited to speak at either hearing or submit comments on this page, which will be included in the meeting packet. Meeting dates are subject to change.

A liquor license cannot be transferred; a new application is required.
