Peace of Mind For Your Bar or Nightclub
Alcohol can make everything more unpredictable. You may face countless unforeseen risk scenarios — from serving a minor with a fake ID, having a customer slip and fall, or serving someone who drives intoxicated and gets into an accident.
When any of these incidents occur, you and your business could be held accountable for any subsequent injuries or damages, and face devastating financial impact.
Your insurance policy probably has fine-print limitations and exclusions. However, our insurance solutions for bars, nightclubs, and taverns have an all-in-one approach providing coverage for security guards, liquor liability, alleged assault & battery, active shooter coverage, communicable disease, and much more.
