Sec. 6-2Activities are privileges
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This is the rulebook for selling, serving and drinking alcohol in Ashburn. It covers who can get a beer, wine or liquor license and how the city council grants, renews, suspends or takes one away; what hours stores and bars can sell; rules for events, BYOB ('brown bagging') and catering; the city's alcohol excise taxes; and a ban on drinking or open containers on city streets and property.
The manufacture, distribution, sale and possession of alcoholic beverages within the city are privileges and not rights with any privilege with respect thereto granted pursuant to this chapter to the holder of any alcoholic beverage license being held and enjoyed only for so long as the holder of such license issued pursuant to this chapter shall fully and completely comply with all provisions of this chapter.
