Dram shop protection against third-party claims when an intoxicated patron causes injury or property damage — essential coverage for any Texas bar or tavern serving alcohol.

General Liability

Covers premises-related incidents unique to bars and taverns, including fights, slip-and-fall injuries, and crowd-related bodily harm claims on your property.

Property Damage

Protects your building, bar equipment, glassware, fixtures, and furnishings against physical loss or damage, keeping your Texas establishment operational after unexpected events.

Business Interruption

Replaces lost revenue during forced closures due to covered losses, ensuring your Texas bar survives temporary shutdowns without crippling financial strain.

Employee Theft

Hired & Non-Owned Auto

Coverage for establishments offering guest transportation or valet services, protecting your Texas bar from auto liability exposure tied to business-related vehicle use.

Specialty Bar Coverage

Purpose-Built Insurance for Texas Bars & Taverns

Texas bars and taverns face some of the most complex insurance exposures in commercial lines — dram shop liability under the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, high-occupancy risk, late-night incidents, and cash-heavy operations. Soma's Risk Management Team places bar and tavern coverage through specialty carriers like Markel, Nationwide, and Liberty Mutual who understand these risks, securing comprehensive programs even for establishments with prior claims history or challenging risk profiles.
