Pennsylvania Frequently Asked Questions

HOW CAN I OBTAIN A LICENSE FOR A BAR, TAVERN, NIGHTCLUB OR BEER/SIX (6)-PACK STORE?

Bars, taverns and nightclubs must obtain restaurant liquor licenses in order to sell and serve alcoholic beverages. Beer or six (6)-pack stores generally hold retail dispenser eating place licenses.

Generally, you must locate an available license within the county in which the proposed establishment is located and purchase it. You must file an application for transfer of that license with the Bureau of Licensing.

Transfer applications are available by calling the Board’s Licensing Information Center at (717) 783-8250, or by logging onto www.lcb.state.pa.us, clicking on “For Licensees”, then “PLCB Applications and Forms” and then choosing the appropriate packet.
