Should pubs and restaurants be kid-free zones? (The Guardian) (archive.li)

'I don’t come here to enjoy other people’s children!' Should pubs and restaurants be kid-free zones?

Children were once banned from most British pubs. Some owners and customers miss ‘the good old days’ – but can they really turn back the clock?

I'd even settle for just "not demonized for not allowing children". We have had some breweries here that have attempted to and parents just screech about how they're not "family friendly". Yes, that's the point, it's not a family friendly place. It's a place for adults to come and drink, what is so bad about some of them choosing to be adult only?

Yeah, people seem to have forgotten that parenthood is a sacrifice. I’m in no way saying people who have children shouldn’t be allowed in public, but there is a time and place for kids. Personally, I wouldn’t want my kids around a bunch of drunk people, if I were a parent.

What’s next strip clubs?

Oh, shit, that's a great idea. Finding a strip club to drink in.

I wonder if there's one around here with a good lunch menu lol

There are a handful around here that do free lunch buffets (or at least they did before Covid).
