Bartending License & Certification in New York

Minimum Age to Bartend
18 years old
Alcohol Serving Hours
24 hours (license dependent)
Certification Required
No state certification required

New York does not require bartenders to hold a specific state license or certification to serve alcohol. The state requires bartenders to be at least 18 years old. Establishments must obtain a liquor license from the New York State Liquor Authority (SLA). While alcohol server training is not mandated by state law, New York City and many employers strongly encourage or require completion of responsible alcohol service programs. New York's flexible serving hours — with no mandated last call at the state level — make it one of the most bartender-friendly states in the nation.
