BAR, RESTAURANT & NIGHTCLUB INSURANCE
Insurance Options á la Carte
Whether you own a small tavern, a wine bar, a high-end martini bar or large popular nightclub, you will need to have insurance coverage that protects you and your employees. Some insurance policies are mandatory, while others may be required by lenders if you have a business loan. Optional coverage is available and highly recommended because establishments that serve alcohol face an increased risk of damage and liability claims.

Your business liability insurance is essential to the long-term success of your bar, restaurant, or nightclub. Individual liability policies are tailormade to suit your unique insurance needs so that you aren’t left having limited or, even worse, no coverage when you really need it.[/read]
LIQUOR LIABILITY INSURANCE
[read more=”READ DETAILS” less=”READ LESS”]
Any business that sells, serves or assists in the purchase or use of liquor is susceptible to a liability claim as a consequence of someone getting drunk to the extent that injuries or property damages occur. Liquor liability is a must for any restaurant, bar, nightclub, and tavern. [/read]
UMBRELLA POLICY
[read more=”READ DETAILS” less=”READ LESS”]
An umbrella policy for restaurant insurance or bar insurance is designed to provide protection against catastrophic losses. It’s generally written over various liability policies, such as your commercial auto policy, commercial general liability policy, and employers liability coverage. [/read]
WORKERS' COMPENSATION
[read more=”READ DETAILS” less=”READ LESS”]
A major part of bar insurance or restaurant insurance is covering your employees with workers’ compensation. Bartenders and wait staff are constantly moving fast trying to deal with customers. The chance of someone being injured in the course of your day-to-day business is high. Workers’ compensation insurance helps provide funds for medical care and missed wages if one of your employees gets hurt on the job.[/read]
LIQUOR LIABILITY INSURANCE
Most standard business policies do not include liquor liability insurance, but at Van Leer & Edwards Insurance Services we understand the special needs of nightclub and bar insurance. We have a deep understanding of the local regulations that govern this industry. We will make sure that your nightclub or bar insurance policy provides enough coverage in the case of an incident happening at your establishment.
This includes coverage for:
Any injuries or damages caused by an intoxicated patron
Lawsuits brought onto your business by customer who
may have misinterpreted one of your employee’s action
(a very common occurrence of this is being escorted out
of an establishment)
Litigation costs that arise from claims being brought
against your business
Restaurant insurance, nightclub insurance, and bar insurance options can vary widely from state to state. Make sure you speak with one of our insurance specialists so that we can build a restaurant or bar insurance policy that will match your business’ specific needs.
