The Registration Authority of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) issued this guidance in December 2020 to establish compliance requirements for ADGM Entities serving alcohol on Al Maryah Island. The document mandates that entities maintain valid commercial licenses and alcohol permits, enforce a minimum service age of 21, and strictly prohibit off-premises consumption and public advertising. Additionally, it requires accurate stock record-keeping, approved supplier contracts, and fully operational CCTV surveillance systems to ensure regulatory adherence.
