WISCONSIN BARTENDERS LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

Wisconsin does not have a specific “bartender’s license” that is distinct from the general alcohol beverage licensing requirements in the state. However, Wisconsin does require individuals serving alcohol in certain establishments to obtain a Wisconsin Alcohol Server Permit (also known as a bartender license in common parlance) issued by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.

The Wisconsin Alcohol Server Permit is required for individuals working in establishments that sell or serve alcohol, including bars, restaurants, and clubs. The permit ensures that servers are knowledgeable about the responsible service and consumption of alcohol, as well as the laws and regulations pertaining to alcohol sales in the state. The aim is to promote safe and responsible alcohol service to prevent alcohol-related issues.

To obtain a Wisconsin Alcohol Server Permit, an individual typically needs to meet the following requirements:

1. Age: The applicant must be at least 18 years old. However, note that some establishments may require servers to be at least 21 years old due to their own policies or the specific nature of their business.
2. Completion of a training course: The applicant must complete a certified responsible beverage server training course within the last two years. This course covers topics such as checking identification, recognizing signs of intoxication, understanding alcohol-related laws, and promoting responsible alcohol consumption.
3. Application process: The applicant must submit an application to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue along with the required fee. The application usually requires personal information, training course details, and any relevant employment information.

WHERE CAN I TAKE THE WISCONSIN BARTENDING LICENSE TEST?

To clarify, Wisconsin does not have a specific “bartending license test” distinct from the Alcohol Server Permit requirement. The Wisconsin Alcohol Server Permit is obtained by completing a certified responsible beverage server training course, rather than a separate test.

The training courses approved by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue are typically provided by authorized organizations or private trainers. These courses cover the necessary information and requirements for responsible alcohol service. They are designed to educate individuals on topics such as checking identification, preventing intoxication, understanding the legal aspects of alcohol service, and promoting responsible consumption.
