What is an On-Premises License?
Blog »
An on-premises license, as defined by California’s alcohol regulations, refers to a license that permits the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages on the premises where they are sold. This type of license is essential for establishments where alcohol is consumed on-site.
On the other hand, off-site consumption, which is off-premises and does not require an on-premises license, involves the sale of alcohol such as buying from a grocery store or gas station.
