Essential coverage for any Central Valley business that serves alcohol

If your bar, restaurant, or venue serves alcohol, your general liability policy won’t cover an alcohol-related claim — liquor liability does. In California it’s often required by landlords and venues, and it protects you when a patron you served causes harm. Insurance City is a local independent brokerage that writes it for hospitality businesses across the region.

What liquor liability covers

  • Claims arising from an intoxicated patron — injury or property damage they cause.
  • Legal defense costs tied to a covered alcohol-related claim.
  • Assault & battery coverage — where available.
  • Often required by leases and venues before you can pour.
  • Pairs with general liability and a business owner’s policy (BOP).
