Bartending Age – Legal Minimum Age To Serve As A Bartender
The laws that regulate bartending vary from state to state. It is important to remember that a bartender must have at least the minimum age of 16 years old in order to legally bartend and in some cases 21 years old may be required. City, county and state laws usually govern the minimum age of a patron to bartend. As with many laws, the most strict legal minimum age is that which must be followed.
Some states and cities impose their own minimum age to serve alcohol as a bartender while others do not. Many bars and restaurants will specify the bartender age on their menus. In addition to having the legal age, the younger the bartender, the more likely he or she will get in trouble. Some cities, such as Seattle, have a rule that the younger the patron is, the less he or she will be tipped. This means that the tips for young bartenders are often lower than those for older bartenders.
It should be noted that cities and counties do not have any law requiring adult supervision required for bartenders under the age of 21. That responsibility falls on the individual restaurant owner or business owner. In some cities and counties, if a merchant has two or more employees over the age of 21, he or she may be required to hire an adult male employee to serve customers at all times.
