Summary
Virginia’s ABC board is easing the food-sales requirement for full liquor licenses, ditching the strict 45% food sales rule that long burdened restaurants. Many owners struggled to meet the quota, especially when customers ordered mostly drinks. The new, more flexible guidelines aim to reduce compliance headaches and help smaller eateries thrive—without turning them into bars. This move is a win for local businesses, making it easier to serve full liquor while still keeping them rooted in their communities.
