I don't think it is ok to bring your baby to a bar. It is not a place for a baby. There is alot of drinking and loud music at a bar. A bar can be dangerous place as well. Bar fights can break out and that puts your baby in the line of danger. Bars are made for grown adults not children. People who bring their kids to bars don't even think about what could happen. To me it is like saying they don't care about their kid. I think there should be laws and regulations about this and they need to be enforced. No child should be in this kind of a enviroment.

Oh my I just had a flashback. First of all by NO means is it ok to bring a baby to a bar. I remember as a child visiting my grandmother in Pennsylvania for two weeks. Each day she would need to go too the store to pick up food for the day. On the way back she would stop at the bar with my sister, brother and myself. I was maybe 8 or 9 years old. At that age I knew this was not a place for me or my brothers and sisters.

I do not like to see a baby or children in any place like that as the whole idea is for people to go to the pub to get away as well as get a break from their own children.Also you never know if there is going to be a fight and then they would get hurt.

hi tuckersheri I do believe here in the US that we have laws that no minor under 18 can be in a bar, and its pretty closely monitored as little babies sure do not belong in bars. like'you say its not healthy for a baby to be there and if a fight were to break out it would be even more dangerous. no we do 'not even allow little ones in our bars. thank goodness for that.

Kids in bars is one of my pet peeves and my husband's too. We live outside of a very small town, which has only one bar. Minors are allowed inside until 9:00PM but I lost respect for every adult who brought their child into that bar. It's not a bad place...everyone is pretty friendly...but it's a BAR! People aren't always on their best behavior in a bar. We felt so strongly about this that my youngest daughter was not allowed to set foot inside the place until she was 18. If she needed money and we were there, one of us would meet her in the parking lot. If her friend was cashing her check there...my daughter had BETTER be waiting in the parking lot.

Noooo!!Environment is so important in the period of educating kids.Just as what you said bar is not a place a baby.Drinking,noise and fight,it's terrible to think of a bay in such an environment.Bars are like some films which are not fit for baby.

Absolutely NOT! There's too much going on that little kids can't handle and don't know what's going on. At bars, there tend to be over-drinking, messy drunkards, fighting (or other types of violence), not to mention there are creepy people that frequent bars. I don't care if you work at a bar...go find someone trusting to watch your kids until your shift is over.

I do not think it is right for someone to bring a child to a bar either. I know they allow it in the area we now live in though. That is messed up if you ask me. Kids do not need to be introduced to that so early, if at all.

No. It's not okay to bring a baby to a bar. For one thing there is drinking. For another bars are where people smoke the most, and the child will inhale second hand smoke. It is in poor taste to bring a baby or any child to a bar. It's immoral.

i don't think that is ok for parents to bring their babies to a bar. a bar is a place for adults. it is a place where drinking, laughing loud, loud music, smoking, and unruly behavior happen. it is never good to bring our kids there. it is just like "training" and showing them what we are as parents. well, it is not bad to unwind and be in bars but sometimes the atmosphere and untoward incidents become inappropriate for children to see and witness. smoke, especially in enclosed areas like inside the bar, aren't good for our heath, how much more for the "younger lungs".

I agree with you,kids should not be taken to bar.Parents are goal setters for kids and for every child its parents are the first role models.Parents should set a good example for their children by doing right things and motivate their children to do good things and to go in a right path.What they see at young age is what they may do in future,they may resort to do the same as they grow up,so it is in the hands of parents to take care of their children and guide them in a right way.Instead they can be taken to children theme parks where children can have fun and parents can also join their kids in various games and this helps in better bonding as well.

It most certainly is not alright to bring your child to a bar! There's no telling what could happen to your child there. What if a fight starts and your child ends up in the middle of it? It should be common sense not to bring your child anywhere near drinking and loud crowds. If you want to go to a bar, at least try to find a babysitter to keep your child company while you're gone. Never under any circumstances bring your child to a bar. This can be harmful to the child.

Bars are obviously not a place for babies. In fact it is not even a place for minors. As you can see, there are drinks, smoking and other things that might influence young people. Bar owners should also make sure that minors most especially babies should not be allowed inside. This should be included in their responsibility.

In a bar or pub that doesn't serve food, the answer is a definite 'no'. And children aren't allowed in these kinds of places anyway, at least here in the UK. But a lot of pubs also have eating areas, and children are allowed in the restaurant. Some pubs are actually aimed at families and are equipped with children's play areas and have special children's menus just like in any other restaurant.

I don't think bringing a baby or any child to a bar is a good thing. if you need to go to the bar, the best idea is to find a babysitter for your children. You never know what can happen in a bar. When people are drinking, things happen that you can't control. Bringing a child into that environment is asking for trouble.

haha, is that right that not to take baby to bar? Why? This is not the reason. It is good to take baby to bar because they will get idea abot bar and how it works and even how they take the drink. They will decide that to drink or not. Then why the others are coming to bar? others mean other that babies,i mean adults. To enjoy the drink. Why dont have the right to baby. They will smell that drink at that baby stage and drink at another stage. baby will get an idea about drink and what happens if they drink. Adults know about drink and what happens if they drink, then why dont baby must not enjoy? Baby is also part of universe and have the right to drink. And at last, Adult must have sense to take baby over to bar. This is bad idea to bring baby to bar, though they have right to drink because they have no capacity to take health coditions in a proper way.
