Can children go into hotel bars in the evening if they are non-residents?

Answer 1

As far as the UK is concerned, children under 18 may be permitted into a bar provided they do not buy or attempt to buy alcohol. An adult does not buy or attempt to buy alcohol for that person. Permission for the child to be in the bar has been obtained.(It is still private property)

The physical fact that the child is there is not an offence under licencing legislation but what they are permitted to do or not do is.

Some places hold child licences. The details of this I am not familiar with but the restrictions still remain the same.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The legal drinking age laws must be followed by all residents and visitors of the state. Hotels are particularly aware of not allowing minors into their bars because they are afraid of losing their liquor licenses.

If you have seen children in hotel bars in the evening, then that hotel, or even the hotel chain is in jeopardy of losing its ability to sell alcholic beverages to anyone. Most hotel bars won't allow minors in at any time. It doesn't matter where the minor age children are citizens, they cannot be in a US hotel bar or any bar, even with a parent accompanying them.

Answer 3

Most hotel bars are not extremely busy and sometimes a teenager at the bar can be overlooked. However, in most states it is illegal for minors to be at the bar itself. Now, if you are not staying at the hotel then all bets are off and you could be asked to leave their private property.

Being a hotel bartender, as long as I am not busy(I make my money from alcohol drinkers not chicken finger eaters), the person doesn't look too young, they're not casuing any type of problem, and as long as my manager doesn't say anything than it is cool. It needs to be this perfect storm though, because like I said, it is illegal in almost every state.

Answer 4

They are not legally allowed in the bar in the evening even if they are a resident. Quite a few people do it anyway, I know, but it is illegal for a child(underage) to be in a bar past 7.

Answer 5

If you are in UK it depends if they have a childrens licence. This will vary for each hotel the best thing is to ask at the reception desk. Just remember that any place also has the right not to allow admittance.

Answer 6

No, a person must be over the legal drinking age for that state in order to be in the bar. Children are not allowed in, even if they're with their parents.

Answer 7

i think it depends on the hotel.

if i remember correctly from pshe lessons about 6 yrs ago (which i prob cant) anyone over 5 can enter a bar with an adult (in uk over 18)
anyone over 14 can enter a bar alone but not buy drinks and anyone over 18 can do what they want lol

the ages might be a little out but its something like that.
made everyone in class go, "what! i didnt know that!!" anyway lol

Answer 8

No. It doesn´t matter if you´re a non-resident. You follow the rules of the place you are at the moment, not where you are from. Otherwise people from Holland would be able to smoke pot anywhere in the world and be able to get away with it. :)

Or Brazilians would be able to buy liquor at the age of 18 in the USA... :)

Answer 9

Not in Florida and not even if they are guests of the hotel. I saw it happen at the Turnberry in Miami Beach.

Answer 10

depends on the time usually up to 8pm but do you want your child in a pub at anytime even in a hotel don't think so
