Everything you need to know about the Small Bar Licence
A Small Bar licence is a new type of hotel licence that permits the licensee to sell and supply liquor for consumption on premises only, to no more than 120 patrons at any one time.
A small bar is permitted to trade during the same general trading hours as a hotel licence, but the sale of packaged liquor is strictly prohibited. Small bar licensees will also have the same right as hotel licensees to apply for extended trading permits to seek permission to trade during longer hours.
