"Personally we want a quiet drink...plus is a pub with bad language the place for a child?..the ones we see are obviously bored & only there because their parents brought them..."
I don't see children as the problem but the adults.
Parents should take children to family friendly pubs and ensure their children behave.
Other adults should behave apparently around those children. |

Having had several pubs over the years I’d say no. Never agreed with it outside in the summer is fine but in the pub no.
But as we now seem to live in a world we’re the traditional local no longer exists sadly and all pubs are now restaurants with a wacky warehouse it’s inevitable.
I yearn for the good old days of bands live music pool tables darts and a card game. |

Still got that round here, albeit a rock pub which is good for me, but still live bands, pool table, dart boards, 2 bars, regulars etc :D |

As long as said children are kept under control and not screaming and running around people's tables and potentially causing accidents with people carrying glasses or plates then fine, but I would like to see family areas where families with children are seated so people who want to eat or drink in adult company can do so. |

This really isn't a family pub no beer garden, no food,but great adult atmosphere, it's not a family pub more back Street in town, not one to judge but the kids are bored & running about whilst the adults neck their beer, the language colourful at times. Some kids even meet their parents in the pub after school  plus have also seen some young kids distressed because of the crowds & noise... |

as parents we have to take our kids with us if we want to go out ,I don't think the issue is kids been in the pub ,the issue is now days their are no family orientated pubs ,all the pubs around us are all hungry horse , of which all bar one have removed the play areas for kids.the one that remains is in a round about next to a retail outlet hardly the ideal place to go have a drink in the summer breathing in copious amounts of pollution , which means kids have no where to play.we look for pubs that have out door play areas but are few and far between.
It's about a happy medium I'm all for having a family area within the pub however 90% of the time these areas are where people are eating food , if you don't want to eat the last thing you want to be doing is smelling and watching others eat , equally their are no TVs for the sports if that's what we wanted to watch , my local said I wouldn't be able to take our eldest daughter to the pub during the world cup to watch the game,hence this is no longer my local as I felt discriminated against that I couldn't go for a beer and watch the game with my friends and my daughter.
I think what I'm trying to say if if more pubs catered for family's ,family's would go to the pubs over one with no family friendly area |
