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.
No holder of any alcoholic beverage license nor any agent, servant or employee of any business in which any alcoholic beverage license is utilized shall at any time deny or prevent access to the licensed premises, or any portion thereof, to any police officer, to any state or federal or local law enforcement officer or to any local, state or federal building, zoning or fire inspector or official in connection with the conduct of such officer's, inspector's or official's duties or fail or obstruct any such officer, inspector or official in connection with the conduct of any investigation by any such officer, inspector or official with respect to the licensed premises or any activity or conduct upon the licensed premises involving alcoholic beverages.
