Dave Cornwell, new owner of the J-Bar, 41 N. Court St., said he hopes to open the bar this evening.
"We're waiting on final documents to come back from the state," Cornwell said. "Hopefully we'll get them early this evening or tomorrow."
Cornwell is also the owner of Courtside Pizza.
A representative from the Ohio Division of Liquor Control said they are waiting for the bar owner to send a final document.
Cornwell said he thinks they must be talking about something else.
