Did you know that the Abraham Lincoln was a licensed bartender. Lincoln’s liquor license was discovered in 1930 and displayed in a Springfield liquor store. Lincoln and William Berry purchased a store in New Salem, Illinois, but the ban on selling alcohol inside led them to convert it into a tavern in 1833. They acquired a license and became licensed bartenders, serving spirits and liquors.
