What type of license does a club need to sell alcoholic beverages?

A club typically requires a Type 50 club license to sell alcoholic beverages. This license is specifically designed for organizations recognized as clubs, which generally means they must provide certain qualifications for membership and are operated for social or recreational purposes. The Type 50 club license allows these establishments to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits for consumption on the premises.

Clubs differ from other types of businesses like restaurants or retail stores, which have distinct licensing requirements tailored to their operations. For example, a Type 20 retail license is for off-sale beer and wine, primarily meant for retail outlets, while a Type 47 restaurant license enables restaurants to serve alcoholic beverages, often with a requirement that food is also served. A Type 75 special event license is temporary and used for specific events, but it is not suitable for permanent club operations. Therefore, a Type 50 club license is the appropriate choice for clubs looking to sell alcoholic beverages.
