Pleasant, SC Bar License Lawyer Mount

To sell and serve alcohol in South Carolina, bars and their owners need a license from the South Carolina Department of Revenue section on Alcohol Beverage Licensing (ABL) that is. Before a bar owner can apply for an ABL permit, they need a valid South Carolina Retail License. Depending on the type of alcohol they serve and if they serve food, they will need additional licenses such as a Retail Food Establishment Permit from the Department of Agriculture (SCDA). Depending on the types of activities the bar conducts, they may need a 7-Day beer and wine permit instead of the “typical” on-premises beer and wine permit. . If you are a bar owner or trying to become one and need help with getting your licenses or are having issues that threaten your ability to keep your licenses, our Mount Pleasant bar license lawyer, Lauren, is available to discuss your situation and to let you know how the Viva Law team can help you.

Bar licenses, especially ones that allow for the service of hard liquor in addition to beer and wine, are more complicated than the ones you need to sell beer and wine only. Once a bar owner has found a perfect location for their bar, they often face many challenges that are hard to deal with without the help of an experienced bar lawyer. South Carolina has laws regarding the service of liquor and its proximity to schools, churches, and playgrounds. Additionally, it is common for people to protest bar licensing hearings, especially when a proposed bar is near a residential area. And then, once a bar owner finally jumps through all of these hoops and gets their ABL permit, even the most conscientious bar owners are often faced with violations of South Carolina's strict alcohol laws.

Why Experience Matters When Hiring A Bar Lawyer

When you have a bar licensing lawyer on your side who is experienced with successfully helping bar owners get the licenses they need and, if necessary, defending against violation accusations or any other bar licensing issue, these issues are much easier to deal with than if you were to try to do this alone. When you hire Lauren, you can rest easier knowing that you have someone on your side who:

  • Has extensive experience as counsel for litigation at the South Carolina Department of Revenue.
  • Tried over 100 tax and alcohol license cases at the South Carolina Administrative Law Court.
  • Worked for the “other side” litigating alcohol licensing and tax matters on behalf of the South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) and knows from experience, how to get things done when dealing with them.

If you need help getting your bar licensing in order or if you are having issues with them being challenged or you are being threatened with getting licenses taken away, Lauren, our exceptional Mount Pleasant bar licensing lawyer is here to help. Contact the understanding staff at Viva Beverage Law to set up a time to talk.
