Can a minor go to a bar with a parent in Virginia?

In Virginia, minors are generally not allowed to enter bars or establishments that serve alcohol. However, there is an exception for minors accompanied by a parent, guardian, or spouse who is of legal drinking age. In such cases, minors can be present in certain types of venues, like restaurants, as long as they do not consume alcohol themselves. It's always best to check specific local laws or the establishment's policies for any additional restrictions.
