The Daily PollPoll: Children in pubs ... Is it ever okay?
Do hordes of screaming kids regularly ruin your nights out?
BRITISH PUBS ARE apparently being ruined by hordes of screaming children whose parents allow them to run riot around fellow drinkers.
At least, that’s according to a survey in the British The Good Pub Guide 2016 widely quoted in the UK media this week.
In Ireland, kids are only allowed in a premises (if accompanied by a parent or guardian) until 10pm. Older teenagers can stay later if they’re attending a function and a meal is being served.
This evening, we’re asking: Do kids wreck your head when you’re out in the pub?
Poll Results:
