Liquor inspectors at non Licensed facilities.
So I play hockey at a small ice rink with a group of friends. We rent the ice and after the game we have a few beers in the dressing room. We bring our own beer it is not supplied by the rink but they are aware that we are imbibing after the game. The operator asked us not to drink after our next game because they heard there was an inspector in town and didn’t want to get in trouble. Naturally I have some questions.
Can a liquor inspector just come into any establishment regardless of whether it has a liquor license?
would a business have their business license be in jeopardy because of someone drinking on the premises?
Would an inspector be allowed to just barge into a private dressing room where people getting dressed and undressed?
if the entrance was locked after the posted operating hours could an inspector demand entrance?
