Common Questions About Liquor Liability Insurance

  • Is liquor liability included in my general liability policy?

    Not typically. It must be added separately or through a specific endorsement.

  • What’s the difference between liquor liability and host liquor liability?

    Host liquor applies to non-commercial events. Liquor liability is for licensed businesses.

  • Do I need liquor liability for one-time events?

    Yes—temporary or event-based coverage is available and often required by venues.

  • Can I get this if I’m just starting my business?

    Absolutely. We work with new establishments to get the right protection from day one.
