Any person 18 or older who is serving or selling alcohol beverages in an establishment within the Village of Pleasant Prairie that holds a Class A, B or C license must obtain an operator's license, commonly known as "bartender's license" pursuant to Wis. Stats. 125.04(5)(d).

Any person applying for an operator’s license will need to provide a certificate of completion of a beverage server training course (DOR approved training courses) within the last two years or a copy of retail license, manager’s license or operator’s license that the applicant has held anywhere in the State of Wisconsin within the last two years.  Operator’s license fee is $65.00 for a two-year license and shall expire on June 30 of the second year of the licensing term.  Application will be forwarded to the Pleasant Prairie Police Department for a background check.  After a recommendation to approve or deny the license is received from the Pleasant Prairie Police Department, the Village Clerk’s Office will process the application. 

The procedures for renewing your operator's license is the same as applying for a new license.  If renewing an existing (non-expired) license, applicants are exempt from the training course.
