Bar and Restaurant Insurance in Los Angeles
Bars and restaurants are busy places. Guests can slip. Kitchens can catch fire. A guest who drank too much can cause harm. Bar and restaurant insurance helps protect your business from these risks.
We help owners in Los Angeles and Sherman Oaks build coverage around how their business really runs.
What coverage does a bar or restaurant need?
- General liability: helps if a guest is hurt or their property is damaged
- Liquor liability: helps if a guest who was served alcohol causes harm
- Property coverage: helps repair or replace your building, kitchen gear and supplies
- Workers' compensation: helps if an employee gets hurt on the job
- Business interruption: may help if you must close after a covered loss
Why liquor liability matters
If you serve beer, wine or spirits, liquor liability is a must. A regular general liability plan often does not cover harm caused by a guest who was served alcohol. Many landlords and cities also ask for it.
Who we help
- Bars, pubs and nightclubs
- Full-service restaurants
- Cafes and quick-service spots
- Breweries and wine bars
- Event and banquet spaces
Lower your risk
Train staff to check IDs and spot guests who have had too much. Keep floors dry and walkways clear. Good habits help keep people safe. They can also help when you shop for insurance.
Risks bars and restaurants face every day
A wet floor can lead to a slip. A grease fire can shut down a kitchen. A guest who drank too much can cause a crash. A cooler can break and spoil food. Each of these can cost a lot. The right coverage helps you recover.
