Insurance Coverage for Bars

Anyone in the insurance industry will not dispute the fact that property and liability insurance for a bar service is hard to place. This is due to associated risks, record of losses, and the type of clients serviced.

A bar can be situated in city localities where crime is commonplace. Likewise, a bar can be located in isolated spots in the countryside where thieves will be attracted to the stock of alcoholic drinks as well as the daily accumulated revenue in the register.

Bars that still allow smoking face an exposure to explosions – given the potential mix with alcohol.

Liability risks include general concerns, significantly heightened due to the possibility of liquor induced impairment of judgement.

Coverage can include:

• Slips and Fall Liability within the premises, as well as in the parking lot
  
  
• Liability incurred from any attractions, such as dancing, live entertainment, contests, tournaments, and so on
  
  
• Liquor Liability as per individual state law
  
  
• Product Liability for food products sold, served or distributed

Insurance Coverage for a Private Bartender

Individual bartenders who are hired for an event, such as a wedding, corporate affair, or any other social gathering can be sued for damages caused by someone who causes a car accident or hurts someone due to impairment from the alcoholic beverages you served.

A temporary Liquor Liability policy is an essential insurance for any bartender that serves at a special occasion. It  can pay associated costs in the event of a covered lawsuit: legal fees, settlements and medical expenses.
