Liquor

Because it is not in the business of serving alcohol, Northwestern University does not purchase liquor liability insurance. As a result, the University’s policy is that on any University premises, alcohol must be served by a licensed pourer (caterer or bartender) who carries liquor liability insurance that adequately protects the University.

A contract must exist between the University and any pourer of alcohol prior to the event taking place. The contract must contain the following insurance provision and the pourer shall comply with all insurance requirements before the event.
