In most US states, you can open a bar or restaurant without any certifications or license to serve alcohol as long as you stay below the federal guidelines for server permit exemption. To be eligible for this exemption, the establishment must limit its serving of alcohol to no more than 65% of total revenue or fewer customers per year than those in its area. Additionally, individuals involved in managing the bar must go through TABC-approved training before they can serve any alcohol and ensure they are age verified by requesting valid identification from all buyers.

If you would like to open a bar without any alcohol-service certifications or licenses, you will need to check your local laws and ordinances. Most cities have specific regulations which cover permits, training programs, and licensing for serving alcohol in public establishments. These can vary greatly from city-to-city, so it is important that you familiarize yourself with the legal requirements before opening the bar. Additionally, depending on the size and location of your bar, some states may require an additional license from their liquor control boards in order to legally serve alcohol.
