Permission to serve alcohol on your outdoor terrace

In order to be allowed to serve alcohol on your outdoor terrace, you must have a serving permit to serve alcohol both indoors and outdoors, you must also have a permit to use the land belonging to the outdoor terrace. It is not allowed to serve alcohol on your outdoor terrace if you only have a permit to serve indoors. Regardless of whether you do not have a permit today or have an existing permit to serve indoors, we can help you with the application process. We apply for the serving permit from your municipality and we apply for a permit for the place for the outdoor serving from the police. It is the police authority that gives you permission to open an outdoor restaurant. The police are looking at whether order and security are met around the outdoor restaurant. The police then forward the application to various administrations in your municipality.

There are many points to take into account when applying for outdoor seating as you will use the municipality’s land. For example, you must have a demarcation that clearly marks your outdoor seating. You must also make sure that it is easy for pedestrians to get past your outdoor seating area.
