what time do they stop selling alcohol in virginia on sunday

[LeAugust]

Hello! Navigating alcohol laws can be a bit tricky, but I can certainly help you with that.

In Virginia, the time that alcohol sales must stop on a Sunday depends on what you are buying and where. For beer and wine sold at retailers like grocery and convenience stores, sales are generally permitted until 2:00 a.m. The same 2:00 a.m. cutoff typically applies to restaurants and bars serving alcohol for on-site consumption.

However, if you're looking to buy hard liquor, such as vodka, gin, or whiskey, you'll need to visit a state-operated Virginia ABC store. These stores have more limited hours. While the exact closing time can vary by location, they usually close much earlier in the evening on Sundays, often around 6:00 p.m. It's always a good idea to check the hours of your specific local ABC store before heading out.

The sources you provided confirm the existence of regulations on sales hours but didn't contain the specific times for Sunday. So, to sum it up, for beer and wine, you generally have until 2:00 a.m., but for liquor, your purchasing window is much shorter.
