Essential Texas Bar Insurance Coverage
Protection. That’s what you need.
Bar insurance isn’t just about meeting requirements—it’s about protecting everything you’ve built.
The Allen Thomas Group’s Smart & Easy approach eliminates confusion. We bundle essential coverages into comprehensive protection packages.
Essential Coverage Components:
Handles slip-and-fall accidents, property damage, and non-alcohol related injuries.
Protects against dram shop claims when patrons cause harm after over-consumption.
Required for employees, covering medical expenses and lost wages from work injuries.
Maintains income during temporary closures from covered events.
Covers building damage, equipment replacement, and inventory loss.
Provides additional liability protection above primary policy limits for catastrophic claims.
Real scenarios matter.
When a patron slips on a wet floor and fractures their wrist, general liability handles medical expenses and potential lawsuits.
If that same patron was over-served? And later causes a car accident? Then liquor liability protection becomes critical.
Property coverage protects when kitchen fires damage equipment. Or when break-ins result in stolen inventory.
Utah Bar Insurance Requirements: What Every Bar Owner Must Know
Utah bars must carry at least $1 million in liability insurance to comply with state dram shop laws.
This isn’t optional. It’s law. It’s enforced by the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services (DABC) for all alcohol-serving establishments.
Why does this matter?
Utah’s dram shop liability laws hold bars accountable when over-serving contributes to accidents or injuries.
Recent 2024 changes to Utah alcohol regulations have increased license quotas. They’ve maintained strict insurance requirements.
Damage liability is capped at $1 million per person and $2 million aggregate. But without proper coverage, these limits offer no protection to your business. None.
The state requires comprehensive documentation. Your insurance coverage must be verified during licensing and renewal processes.
Non-compliance risks immediate license suspension. That means your operation shuts down.
Beyond legal requirements, Utah’s unique alcohol laws create additional liability exposures:
- Specific serving restrictions and time limitations
- Proximity regulations for schools and churches
- DABC licensing compliance requirements
- Municipal ordinance variations across Utah cities
Standard policies often miss these completely.
Smart bar owners recognize that minimum coverage rarely equals adequate protection.
Your establishment faces risks from patron injuries, property damage, employee accidents, and alcohol-related incidents. These extend far beyond state minimums.
Our Smart & Easy process means:
- No complicated paperwork or confusing exclusions
- No coverage gaps that leave you exposed
- Customized analysis of your specific operation
- Risk-based pricing that fits your budget
We analyze your specific operation—from dive bar to upscale cocktail lounge. We customize protection that fits your risks and budget.
Unlike competitors who offer generic policies, we understand that Utah sports bars face different exposures than downtown nightclubs.

What's the difference between liquor liability and general liability insurance?
Two different protections.
General liability covers standard business risks like slip-and-fall accidents and property damage.
