Mount Pleasant Hotel Bar License Lawyer

In addition to all of the licenses needed to run a regular bar, and all of the licenses needed to run a hotel, hotel bars are generally required to carry a specialized license called the Business (Restaurant & Hotel) Liquor by the Drink License (PLB). Licenses that hotel bars need include a South Carolina Retail License which they need to get before applying for alcohol licenses. If the bar sells food and/or allows customers to take this or alcohol to consume off-site, this requires additional licenses. Depending on their specific operations, they may also need a Certificate of Occupancy.

Hotel bar lawyers help hotel and hotel bar owners with the dual licensing requirements needed for having both types of businesses on one site.

They can help with Sunday liquor sales permits. Many visitors to South Carolina are surprised that not all licensed hotel bars are licensed to serve alcohol on Sundays. Having this type of license is a big bonus for hotel bars.

Hotels and their bars are often faced with opposition in the name of public safety and neighborhood impacts. An experienced Mount Pleasant hotel bar license lawyer will know how to push zoning approvals to get them passed and can defend your business against objections.

Hotels and hotel bars often experience similar types of licensing protests as regular bars do. This can trigger hearings that can impede or even prevent a hotel bar from getting its liquor license.

When a hotel bar is going through ownership changes, expansions, or renovations, a good hotel bar lawyer can ensure that it is continually in compliance.

Hotel bar licensing lawyers often work to help clients with other potential licensing and permitting needs such as food handler licenses, seller permits, and catering business licenses.

While it is not required to have a hotel bar lawyer handle all of your legal needs so that you can focus on running your business, once hotel bar owners experience the ease of having a competent lawyer do this for them, they do not go back to trying to do this on their own.
