WHAT IS A LICENSEE?
This section of the website is designed to assist licensees in maintaining a safe, regulated business.
ABC grants a range of privileges, or "licenses," to businesses, groups and individuals enabling the manufacture, distribution, selling and serving of alcoholic beverages in the Commonwealth. Holders of these privileges are commonly called “licensees."
ZERO TOLERANCE
The selling and serving of alcoholic beverages is a business that is subject to higher legal and social accountability than almost any other industry. As a licensee, you shoulder many responsibilities, including preventing underage sales and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Virginia ABC has a strict "zero tolerance" policy for underage consumption and looks to you to aggressively avoid these sales.
Sign up for the Licensee e-newsletter to stay informed about selling and serving alcohol in Virginia.
