Our Story
The Pennsylvania Licensed Beverage and Tavern Association is a statewide association based in Harrisburg, representing and lobbying for small business taverns and licensed restaurants in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Association formed in 1941, reorganized in 2019, and today advocates for best practices and rights within the industry as well as best experiences for patrons. We are the leading trade association exclusively serving small business taverns and licensed restaurants in Pennsylvania. Our legislative representation for our Members at the State Capitol is second to none. We strive to promote regulations, rules, and laws that help our Members. From corner bars, delis and neighborhood taverns to five-star restaurants and resorts, our industry supports more than 150,000 Pennsylvanian jobs, and remains an established, important part of our communities.

Happy National Tavern Month!
Members ... check your email boxes for an "On The Fly" Alert from us. Included in this edition is an update on three bills that the House Liquor moved today that could one day impact your business. We also give you background on the proposed regulation changes from the PLCB.
Thank you to all these establishments that support their industry, their business, and their future by being a part of Organized Taverns through the Pennsylvania Licensed Beverage and Tavern Association. All recently renewed memberships or joined for the first time. These establishments get it!
If you're not a member, then we have to question why you don't want to support your industry and organized taverns. Our advocacy gets stronger and louder at the state capitol as our association and TavernPAC grows.

Just in case you missed this episode of Pennsylvania Tavern Talk, we wanted to share it again. S1E4 covers the Role of Members. This is part of our playlist series "Getting To Know PaTaverns."
This is a very important episode. Members carry the water for the entire industry, and leave no doubt that achievements at the state capitol are only possible through an active grassroots. The PLBTA may be responsible for organizing taverns statewide for political purposes, but credit Members for getting the job done and being a part of organized taverns. We're proud of our Members (and wish non-members would get on the team too!)
