which of the following establishments would be considered on premise

An on‑premise establishment is one where customers consume what they buy at the business location, typically referring to alcoholic beverages. For most alcohol-law questions, restaurants and bars are the classic on‑premise examples.

Core idea: “On‑premise”

• On‑premise means the business both sells the drink and provides a place (seats, bar, tables, event space) to consume it on site.

• Typical on‑premise operations are designed for immediate consumption: drinks are opened, poured, or mixed and served in glasses rather than kept in sealed containers to take away.

Common on‑premise establishments

If a question asks “Which of the following establishments would be considered on‑premise?”, the correct choices are usually:

• Restaurants with table service and drinks consumed at the table.

• Bars and taverns where alcohol is served and consumed at the bar or tables.

• Hotels with bars or lounges where guests drink on site.

• Event venues and caterers serving alcohol to be consumed at the event location (e.g., banquet halls with liquor service).

In the specific style of TABC (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code) exam questions, “Which of the following establishments would be considered on‑premise TABC?” the answer pattern is:

Restaurants and bars are on‑premise; stand‑alone liquor/package stores are off‑premise.

What is not on‑premise?

• Liquor/package stores that sell sealed bottles for customers to take away are off‑premise, not on‑premise.

• Grocery stores, convenience stores, and gas stations that sell sealed beer or wine to go are also off‑premise.

Quick rule of thumb

• If the main legal expectation is “Drink it here ,” it is on‑premise (restaurant, bar, hotel bar, catered event).

• If the main expectation is “Take it away and drink somewhere else ,” it is off‑premise (liquor store, grocery store, convenience store).
