Industry: Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages)

Establishments in the NAICS 7224 industry primarily engage in preparing and serving alcoholic beverages for immediate consumption. These establishments may also provide limited food services, but the sale of alcoholic drinks is the core activity that defines this industry. Unlike full-service restaurants or bars with extensive food menus, drinking places focus on the consumption of alcoholic beverages as their main service, distinguishing them from other food and beverage service industries.
