Bar and Tavern Insurance

At Monarch E&S Insurance, we understand the unique risks faced by establishments that serve alcohol. Our specialized Bar and Tavern Insurance program is designed to help agents and brokers place coverage for bars, taverns, and restaurants that generate more than 30% of their revenue from alcohol sales—even those that feature dance floors, live entertainment, or other higher-risk exposures.

Monarch E&S is a trusted Managing General Agency and Excess & Surplus Lines Broker offering non-admitted markets across multiple carriers.
