Bars Insurance
Between licensed public houses, music venues, wine bars, sports bars, and cocktail bars, no two venues are ever the same and neither are your insurance needs. That’s why we take a tailored approach, getting to know and understand your business and then advise cover specific to the risks you face.
What is Bar Insurance?
The combination of alcohol and varying opening hours means that running a bar comes with a higher risk than other businesses. This means that it can make it harder to get the right insurance, which is why you need an experienced broker who understands the unique needs of your business.
Our team has been working within this industry for many years and know the associated risks you work with on a daily basis, which means we know how to help keep those risks low.

Public liability insurance protects you if a member of the public suffers an injury or if any of their property is damaged because of your business. It can cover legal costs and any compensation claims, if your business is found to be at fault.
