Pubs?

[Smits]

What is the general view to underage people sitting in pubs, more specifically on match days?


I mean yeh i've been in when i was 17 and 16 loads with my uncle but would it be different with a group of lads? See i'm 18, and my other friend is 18, but a couple are 17 and we wanna head to the pub to catch a football match and there a bit worried if theyll be allowed in even to just watch. Baring in mind the pubs are in and around the town centre which may make things a little stricter.

Is it the law? If not then it's fine.

[alexxxxx]

youre allowed to go in and watch without a beer.

[GoldenMerc]

If there drinking and like playing tig or being annoying its like wow, il just leave.

[Hecktix]

I think underage people are allowed in pubs until a certain time?

You have to be at least 14 to go into the bar area I think. Obviously you have to be 18 for an alcoholic drink. My granddad use to own a pub and those were the 'rules' then.

They'll be allowed in.

to be honest you go in with your 18 freind and he has ID they'l never ask you..

there losing out on proffit

yeh i know they can go in as we go in all the time just not allowed to get a drink, just wondering if its different on matchdays because its alot busier.

It might just be the specific pub you're going in. Ask the person behind the bar, it can only be a yes or no.

Don't ask, don't get.

The law says you are allowed as long as you sit in the lounge rather than the bar (what Hitman said), although pubs these days aren't so traditional with their layout. You probably need to be more worried about the pub's own policy tbh. I was in them from as young as I can remember but a gang of teenagers are the least likely to be let in.

If you do get in without attracting attention, you should be OK as long as you stay quiet. If you're rowdy or messing about you'll probably be kicked out. And regarding what Soy said, if they ID any of you, they'll ID you all.
