A bartender license is a type of state-issued certificate that allows a person to serve alcohol. It is also an indicator that the person is well-versed in local laws. The requirements for each state are different, but almost all states in the US require a license. A license is required to legally sell alcoholic beverages in an establishment.
You must complete a responsible alcohol services training course in order to become licensed as a Tennessee liquor seller/server. The five-hour course is taught by a certified trainer. You will receive a valid Alcoholic Beverage Commission Server Permit.
A Tennessee business permit is another requirement for bartenders. To obtain one, you'll need to complete a brief form and provide proof that you have completed a responsible alcohol service course. Your permit will be valid up to five years. Before you can start working as a bartender, or serving alcohol, it is strongly recommended that your permit be obtained.
The Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission has a website where you can learn more about the state's booze laws. The site has a list of approved programs that will help you become certified as a liquor-serving employee. For licensing information, contact the commission.
Nevada has a similar license requirement. To be eligible for a license you must be at minimum 18 years of age and not have been convicted in any way related to alcohol. A state-approved exam for alcohol and beverage licenses will be required. Anyone who is licensed to sell alcoholic beverages must show the certificate at work.
Hawaii has very specific requirements in relation to liquor. The state has strict requirements regarding liquor licensing, such as beer with a low abv (less that 10.1%). A special occasion licence is required. An applicant can apply to receive a special occasion liquor license for an event hosted by a non-profit, charitable, political or other organization.
There are some other requirements you need to know. You may need to be a registered agent for a corporation to apply to a liquor license. To obtain a retail license for a restaurant, you must also be at least 19 years of age. However, these are the minimums.
You might have also heard of TIPS. This is a 5-hour course that covers everything a server or buyer needs to know about alcohol sales and service. It has been in existence for more than 35 years. It has received a wide range of accolades, including a certification by the state of Tennessee.
The bartender license is just the beginning of what you will need to do in order to run a bar or hospitality business. But it's a great opportunity to make a living.
