The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, administrated by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, defines and regulates the issuance of various types of licenses authorizing the sale of alcoholic beverages, including a club license. Existing law authorizes the holder of a club license to exercise the rights of a on-sale general licensee, but limits sale and service of alcoholic beverages to members of the club and their guests. Existing law defines different clubs in this context.
