It depends at what time. I was once in a bar in the evening and a family arrived, with a small baby who started to cry and cry and cry because of the lights, the music etc.. I have to say, it was really annoying and rather distracting.
I find this idea bit disturbing. Why would you want your small children to be present in a bar full of drunk people. Having a drink in a restaurant with children still sounds okay but BAR .... SERIOUSLY
Yes bars! This is not the UK, people go out here to socialise, to talk, eat & have a drink not to get blind drunk. And bars are open during the day too, perfectly acceptable for kids to be out during the day or in the evening.
Quite right, it's more a predisposition to just be one.
Like adults and dogs, they are welcome in a bar as long as they behave.
I am not aware of many people who would take children to a bar, or a dog for that matter, on a Friday night type post 9pm evening, that would just be silly, but during the day, early evening, there is no problem with it.
That is bit harsh for English people and no I am not English.
I have no kids and normally go to bars on weekends. Even though bars are very sober (compared to lot of countries I've been too), I just meant the aroma, high pitch music etc. might not be the best environment for kids. No hard feelings here
Talking of the aroma, since the ban of smoke it has vastly changed, and is arguably healthier for kids now. Instead of a musky smoke smell dominating the venue, it merely stinks of sick and shit, which if anything will be a more comfortable aroma for the kids, having spent much of their life surrounded by a similar smell.
