My grandparents have a bar. They have a beer and wine license that they're about to renew. I'm saving money to apply for the Liquor license, which I hear is nearly impossible to attain...what do these inspectors look for??

My inspector (IA) looked for things like underage serving, temp of the cooler, things were covered properly, garnishes weren't sitting out, dates on beer bottles, non-regulation wines without the correct stamps and not allowed in my liquor district. Then they made sure the back bar was clean, glasses were kept on those holey mats and not directly on the shelf, glasses had to be upside down. At least a 3 well sink with proper drainage. The soda gun was clean. Potable water at the bar. Hygiene practices like the bartender washing their hands. The solution in the washing sink was at the proper concentration. Paper towels and soap for the handwashing. They'll ask who all has access to the bar when the bartender's not there.
There's probably more, but I'm forgetting since I retired. Oh, and when they give you those no underage drinking signs...POST THEM! That's a biggee.

TABC cares more about catching you serving underage kids than anything else. every time i have ever seen them (i'm still just 20), i know to sneak out the back door wherever i am because they just go around from person to person and ID everybody with a drink that looks under 30 or so, then they pack up and leave.

They also want to see that all bottles have TABC stickers on them. Make sure that you are destroying the label prior to throwing empty bottles in the trash. Also, marrying bottles is a big no-no.
