Licensed Bar Tender

Submitted by jinglebells0424 t3_yla670 in baltimore

My work is having a holiday party and we'd like to have a licensed bar tender but I'm having a hard time finding companies that can do this or a one off person who is licensed. If anyone has suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!

There's no such thing from a legal standpoint. Assuming you're paying taxes on the booze you buy to serve, not selling it, and not giving it to children, it doesn't matter who's pouring. If you're trying to do a cash bar, that gets into liquor licensing, which would be tied to the event or the space rather than the bartender.

This is the correct answer - MD doesn't require bartenders to have licenses. You need to take care of taxes and liquor licenses if selling.

The Drink Link! Check them out on Instagram. They helped me with an event.

Why do you need someone with a license to sling drinks? I know some great bartenders from my drinking days, none of whom are licensed.

That’s policy based on where I work, I don’t make the rules

I don’t think a single bartender I know and trust is licensed. It’s not the sort of thing that is worth licensing
