Alcohol Beverage Control regulates the sale and service of alcohol across Kentucky. In Louisville, businesses that sell or serve alcohol must follow both state regulations and local requirements. An investigation or citation may begin after a routine inspection, a complaint from the public, or an undercover compliance check.
