An ABC Licensed Premises is a location where a business owner or entity is authorized to serve alcoholic beverages to patrons who then consume them within the licensed premises in California.

This specific authorization is granted to ABC On-Premises Licensees and regulated by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). To maintain their licensed premises status, the licensee must adhere to strict state guidelines regarding alcohol server certification, hours of sale, age verification, and venue safety.

You can find more information on ABC license types on the California ABC Portal.
