During the pandemic, Virginia has allowed bars and restaurants to sell alcohol to-go or through delivery.
Some state lawmakers are now looking to extend that rule through the rest of the year, hoping it can help some small businesses stay afloat as the pandemic reaches new peaks. A bill from Delegate Schuyler VanValkenburg (D-Henrico) would halt planned changes to alcohol licensing fees and allow businesses to sell beer and wine off-site through the end of 2021. If the bill is rejected by the General Assembly, some restaurants would have to get a separate permit to continue selling alcohol to-go.
