Saturday, April 26th, 2025 -- 8:36 AM

(Wisconsin Radio Network) -A new state law offers an alternative to the traditional bartender’s license in Wisconsin.

The Statewide Operator’s Permit is a new alternative to traditional operator’s licenses, often referred to as “bartender’s licenses.” Unlike licenses valid only within the issuing municipality, the Statewide Operator’s Permit is valid at licensed or permitted premises anywhere in Wisconsin. It provides flexibility for businesses operating in multiple municipalities, eliminating the need to obtain separate licenses for each location.
