CODE OF ETHICS

• The Tavern League of Wisconsin believes in taking good care of our customers and protecting against the effects of alcohol abuse. We want our customers to have a good time and we are interested in their well-being.
• We reserve the right to refuse service to persons we believe are intoxicated. Friends don't let friends drive intoxicated. Let's be friends.
• We will not encourage excessive drinking. You count with us. May we count on you to have a "pacer", a soft drink, coffee, or non-alcohol beverage on occasion? We want you to be able to come back again.
• We want you to get home safely. If you need a ride, we will try to arrange safe transportation home. We hope you will consider doing the same for your friends.
• We will not knowingly serve an underage person not accompanied by a parent or a legal guardian and will check age identification when in doubt. We ask for your cooperation.
• We will not encourage or permit alcohol consumption contests on our premises.
• We will keep ourselves informed, and encourage all of our customers to help us enforce the alcohol beverage laws, practice responsible drinking, and good citizenship.
