Do I Need A License To Bartend In Kentucky

The state of Kentucky recommends Kentucky alcohol server-seller training, but it is not required on the state level. The exception is cases where the Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) requires businesses that have broken liquor laws to take either the City of Bowling Green approved, Lexington-Fayette approved, or Star Training. Many municipalities will require staff members of bars, restaurants, and other businesses with on-premises liquor licenses to take Kentucky alcohol certification training.

The City of Bowling Green requires alcohol server training with an ABC-approved server training program like our Kentucky course. The course must be completed within 30 days of the first date of employment.

The City of Lexington-Fayette also requires approved server training from an approved training provider like Serving Alcohol for servers, bartenders, and managers.

Other municipalities require the Kentucky ABC’s Server Training in Alcohol Regulations (STAR) instead. To be certain, check with your local city clerk’s office to be sure you’re meeting the requirements where you live.

We’ve even been recognized by Bar and Restaurant Magazine, and invited to speak at regulatory conversations concerning up-to-date industry changes. We believe that our training is of superior quality because it’s created using years of in-the-field experience and continuous training, all with a focus on keeping employees, businesses, and their surrounding communities safe and prosperous.
