I recently moved to Chicago from St. Louis, and one of the things that I've observed that I didn't in St. Louis is the large number of restaurants that are BYOB. I'm planning on opening a restaurant in 6 months to a year and am curious as to why many places do not serve alcohol. From what I understand a city of Chicago liquor license is $2200. I would think sales would more than make up for this cost. The only reasons I have come up with for places not serving alcohol is: 1. Not enough space for storing. 2. Not enough cash to afford the license and/or liquor stock. 3. Zoning restrictions.

Is there something more obvious that I'm missing? Off the top of my head I can't think of one restaurant in St. Louis that is BYOB. In any case, insight on this would be most appreciated. Thanks
