Source: Virginia ABC's public license dataset, scoped to Richmond City, refreshed daily. We show the establishment name, license class, beverage privileges, address, and neighborhood. Virginia ABC publishes no per-license web page, so unlike permit records these rows do not link out to a state record.

“Pending” means an application that has been filed but is not yet active. One-off banquet and special-event permits are excluded — they are per-event, not new establishments. To see what is currently licensed, view licensed establishments.
