Children In Pubs wtf

[Triggaaar]

No you are doing it half right!

If kids are running round being a nuisance, then it's just rubbish parents really.

There are of course, as you suggest, better places to be taking your kids for entertainment. But there are occasions when you want to go to a pub in the day time and you have your kids with you - if they're not causing grief, I don't see the problem.

I think. Ive got mixed opinions, pubs should develop their policies and rep for letting the little runts in or keeping them out, then choose.

Personally the one thing that will stop me going to a pub is karaoke, beyond that I dont care much.

A mix of pubs with different policies would be good. Some not allowing kids at all, some allowing them until a certain time (like 8pm), some with live music and some without. Then we can choose which pub to go to. The kids should never be running a mock, but that goes for restaurants too.

As a kid, me & my sister would be put in a back room while Mum or Dad, depending on whose turn it was, would crack on in the saloon bar of the Suddely Arms or The Beaufort. Were never allowed in the bar.

Ahhhh at last the season has finally finished and NSC can stop bibbling on about bloody football.

The pub as I see it is and always will be a place for adults to socialise, the amount of couples who attempt a family excursion to the pub and spend the entire time either walking round the pub after their 3 yo and then having a heated debate on who's turn it is to sit in silence and remember the days when they didn't have children , it's no wonder divorce is popular!

Just keep cycling out of things and all will be well

I'm ok with it as long as i'm not approached about my language because there are 'kids around' (has happened).

We have our own bar where no children are allowed.

many many moons ago I worked in the duck in HH and on a Sunday when a Dad had custody he'd take his son in there.......even when the sun was shining outside that little boy would be in a dark smokey pub being ignored and finding his own entertainment ,it used to break my heart.

We know,it's very busy a bit cliquey and caters for all kinds of weird bright lycra..........bit pricey though...

thats a line crossed there. i dont mind kids in pubs when they are the geared around family food, garden so on. but in town, pubs generally arent like that and are for grown ups, go there and expect there to be grown ups acting like pissed grown ups.

Not round Brighton, many pubs are overrun with toddlers and buggies!

Happy days

If less pubs did food this wouldn't be an issue. Too many fat c*nts who have to stuff their faces all the time. Bring back smoking indoors as well.

Lovely place, shame to have lost it.

Sounds about right.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

Bottle of coke and a packet of crisps whilst sitting in the car whilst my dad had a few beers was luxury in my day !!

 

[Keith the Kipper]

There is rarely anywhere these days that an adult can go and be adult.....

What does that even mean ? Not sure I've ever seen much adult behaviour in a pub !

 

[Reagulls]

I was allowed to sit in the corner and have a packet peanuts from the cardboard display behind the bar which at about 9 years old hoped would uncover a breast of the scantily clad lady! Were they called big D's?
The Pierpoint in Hurstpierpoint .. It's houses now.

DFL parents for sure.

Nothing wrong with children in pubs providing they sit still and don't speak until spoken to.

If they start running about and making a noise then the whole family should be thrown out and banned.

As I say to my grandchildren, aged four and seven, this is a grown up place and you behave - now drink your beer quietly.
