I'm 43. When I was a kid not being allowed in a pub was the norm. We would be tucked away in the family room or sent to play outside with a panda-pop and a bowl of chips whilst the adults had a beer. I don't see the issue with it, they don't serve food, its a place to drink alcohol.

It seems once again parents who don't supervise their kids ruin it for all other families.

This happens every year. Pub announces the rule, people complain, shitrag makes an article about it.

It's just marketing at this point.

Lol

The pub has also decided to ban dogs after 18:00 on Fridays and Saturdays - a move staff say has prompted more pushback than the child‑free policy.

I really don't think it should be controversial for a drinking establishment to choose to be child free. Often they aren't suitable for kids anyway.

I think it depends on the context, if it was the only pub in a small village, you'd want it to be inclusive as possible. However, in a big city like London, there are lots of pubs, and if one isn't child-friendly, there's plenty of others that are, and vice versa.

Heh. Meanwhile, over here:

No One Under 21

Section 25665 of the California Alcoholic Beverage Control statute states that minors are not allowed to enter or remain within a bar.

Patron Must Prove Age

If the patron can’t prove their age, then they can’t remain in the bar. (B&PC §§ 25658(a), 25658.4, 25659).

Bar owners wrongfully allowing minors in a public bar with a green license face a penalty of $1000 and/or 6 months in county jail.

The penalty for the minor wrongfully in the bar is a fine of not less than $200.
