In October 2024, a new beacon of community spirit opened in Alton, Illinois. Pour Decision, a locally-owned bar, quickly became a go-to spot for adults to enjoy a safe, friendly, and wholesome atmosphere in line with our beloved city’s community standards. Led by owners with pure intentions, this establishment is dedicated to upholding the safety and enjoyment of its patrons, ensuring that all who visit feel welcome and respected.

However, Pour Decision recently faced a significant challenge when Alton Mayor and Liquor Commissioner David Goins revoked their late liquor license. This decision threatens not only the business's survival but also the lively, positive environment it has cultivated for residents of Alton.

It's essential to recognize that Pour Decision adds great value to our local community. It offers a secure setting for adults to relax and connect, contributing positively to our town’s economy and social fabric. The owners have consistently demonstrated their commitment to community welfare and safety standards. Maintaining their late liquor license is crucial for the continuation of this establishment's positive contributions.

Pour Decision has not yet celebrated its first anniversary. The revocation of the late liquor license creates an uncertain future for a business with so much promise and dedication to Alton's well-being. By overturning this decision, we can ensure that Pour Decision continues to thrive and serve as a pillar for community interaction and enjoyment.

Join us in appealing to the State of Illinois to reconsider and reverse this decision. Your support is vital to preserving the inclusive and safe atmosphere Pour Decision offers. Sign the petition and help keep this essential community hub open for future gatherings.
