A liquid dispensing apparatus capable of providing a customer with a desired amount of liquid depending on data recorded in a memory card purchased in place of liquor in the unit of a bottle. The apparatus includes a flowmeter to generate a signal representing the amount of liquid supplied, a card read/write device in which a reloadable memory card is inserted, and a CPU connected to the card read/write device and flowmeter. The CPU receives data of the memory card read by the card read/write device to open a valve depending on the data to dispense a desired amount of liquid and receives a signal from the flowmeter to operate the amount of liquid dispensed and close the valve. The card read/write device also carries out write of new data based on the operation of the CPU.
