Rules on free bar social club

[Jess55]

Hi all,

so time for me has stopped my brewing journey....but not my enjoyment of brewed produce

I've been trying to support the local, and have organised regular bar trips for a few mates - all seem to have gotten used to lockdown lifestyle and everyone seems really keen to socialise a bit more than has been the norm.

This being said, alot of my locals are complete dives. Some are ok, but alot are pretty poor.

Now I currently rent a small office for work, and have been looking to expand and move into a bigger place.

If, I had a spare room in this premises, what's the legal standpoint of me using it as a bar of sorts. This wouldn't be revenue earning, more a place to socialise, have a beer of 6, play pool, play darts and all that jazz.

I'd be keen to install something similar to a porta pint - so if me a couple of other wanted to club together, we could get a keg or two. But generally, for social nights, just have people bring drink

Essentially, it's the same as any home bar - just not at home.

Thanks for the information.

Why not think about making money? Has your concept of the place changed in two years? I probably wouldn't want to come to a bar with my own beer, that's how we get together with friends, but it's just homebrewing. I got the idea to open my own brewery after a trip to Germany, I liked the beer at the bar füssen the most, before that I was tossing between the idea of opening a burger joint or a coffee shop. But there are plenty of these places around, and I wanted something at least a little bit unique. Btw, I got a liquor license, otherwise I`d have problems with law. So you'd better think in the way of a small business.
