Question Title

* 5. An event venue is defined as a location only open to the public for artistic presentations, live or recorded musical presentations, theatrical performances, films or other similar expressive events of a limited duration. It is not open on a daily basis for events, does not have a permanent bar and is only authorized to sell alcoholic beverages beginning one hour before the scheduled event and no later than one hour after the conclusion of the event.
