Why Choose Premier Pour Bartending: Your Peace of Mind

Planning an event is exciting, but serving alcohol comes with risks. At Premier Pour Bartending, we prioritize your peace of mind by ensuring every detail of our service is backed by proper insurance, certifications, and licensing.

Here’s why you can trust us to make your event safe, professional, and unforgettable.
  • $1M General Liability: Protects against injuries or property damage.

  • $1M Liquor Liability: Covers alcohol-related incidents, like overserving.

  • Workers’ Compensation: Ensures our staff are fully covered, so you’re not liable.

  • Hired & Non-Owned Auto Liability: Safeguards against business-related vehicle incidents. 

  • Unlike some vendors who cut corners and rely on uninsured contractors, we employ W2 staff, fully insured to eliminate risks for you.

Certified Bartenders for Responsible Service

Our bartenders are trained through ServSafe Alcohol, the gold standard in responsible alcohol service. They’re equipped to:

  • Spot signs of intoxication and refuse service when needed.

  • Verify IDs to prevent underage drinking.

  • Comply with Ohio’s dram shop laws to minimize liability. This means safer service, fewer risks, and a professional experience for your guests.

Full Compliance with Ohio Regulations In Ohio’s “dry hire” model, you supply the alcohol, and we handle the rest—legally and safely. We meet all state requirements:

  • Ohio Secretary of State Registration: We’re a fully legal business entity.

  • Transient Vendor’s License: Ensures tax compliance across jurisdictions.

  • Adherence to Ohio Division of Liquor Control: Strict compliance with alcohol service laws. Vendors unaware of Ohio Liquor Laws can lead to fines or event disruptions. With us, you’re covered.

The Risks of Choosing the Wrong Vendor

Hiring an uninsured or non-compliant vendor can result in:

  • Lawsuits from alcohol-related incidents, potentially costing over $1M.
  • Financial losses if claims aren’t covered.
  • Stress and uncertainty from regulatory violations. We eliminate these risks, so you can focus on enjoying your event.
