Who are we?
The Pennsylvania Licensed Beverage and Tavern Association represents small business, family-owned retail licensees in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Many refer to us as “Organized Taverns.” The Tavern Association formed after Prohibition, in 1941, to ensure the legality, protection and prosperity of the state’s liquor and beer retail licensed businesses. It reorganized in 2019 and today is the trusted political voice of small business taverns, bars, and licensed restaurants across the state.
What do we do?
We are the only trade association exclusively serving R, H, and E licensees in Pennsylvania. Our regulatory and legislative insight and representation for our Members in Harrisburg is second to none. We strive to promote regulations, rules and laws that help our family-owned businesses.
What have we accomplished?
From our inception, we have fought for and been victorious in many battles for our Members. We have and will continue to work to uphold the value of our licenses, promote new beneficial laws and regulations, and protect licensee rights while fighting threats to our Members including burdensome taxes and outdated laws.
Who do we represent?
We represent small business, family-owned retail licensed businesses from all across Pennsylvania. From corner bars, delis and neighborhood taverns to five-star restaurants and resorts, our industry supports more than 100,000 Commonwealth jobs, and remains an established, important part of our communities.
