Overview of the Program From RMS Hospitality Group
RMS Hospitality Group specializes in insurance solutions for nightlife and entertainment venues, offering agents and brokers access to tailored programs that address high-risk exposures. Their Dueling Piano Bars program is designed specifically for venues that combine live music, alcohol service, and audience participation — elements that require nuanced underwriting and coverage structures. RMS works with various carriers to deliver broad coverage options in most states on a non-admitted basis, providing flexibility and expertise in this niche.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
The Dueling Piano Bars program is ideal for establishments that feature live piano shows with audience interaction, often accompanied by full-service bars and late-night hours. These venues typically include:
- Standalone dueling piano bars
- Bars and lounges with live piano entertainment
- Nightlife venues with high foot traffic and liquor sales
You might have a client who owns a downtown piano bar with nightly performances and a full drink menu — a perfect fit for this program. RMS understands the unique claims exposures such venues face, including liquor liability, assault and battery, and property damage.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Key coverages available through this program include:
- General Liability with $2M aggregate limit
- Liquor Liability up to $1M
- Assault & Battery coverage available up to $1M
- Excess limits up to $5M
- Fire Damage Limit – $100,000 per fire
- Hired/Non-Owned Auto Liability
Medical expense coverage is excluded, which aligns with the higher-risk nature of these venues. This program is built to handle the specific liability scenarios that come with entertaining, serving alcohol, and operating in high-traffic nightlife environments.
