Taking into consideration th situation as described by you, suing could be a costly folly. You could of course pay a solicitor for advice on this, but it may be cheaper to just avoid the pub.

They can hit me with any date I know the exact dates and times I was in that pub and never with friends. Be funny if they gave a date and I show they I was not in Europe ....odds are they could pick lots of dates and they will find this is the case. I ask them to try that one.

My advice - if you want to use this premises speak to the person, tell him in a calm manner that you believe it was a mistake but understand their stance. Ask how it can be rectified. He will more than likely say pop back some time. Any legal talk and they dig their heals in. Hard pill to swallow I know.

All they are think about is lining their own pocket because someone caused offence or they were stupid enough to hit their knee of a table. A number of years ago a mate and I went for one pint in one pub before going to meet a group of friends in another pub. When we got to the other pub the owner wouldn’t let my mate in the door and barred him because he was drunk. He only had the one pint and there wasn’t a bother on him. Guess what we did. We moved on to the pub next door and didn’t bother going near the pub that wouldn’t let him in ever again. Did he think of suing? No. He had a bit of sense and just said fcuk that and moved on with his life as a normal decent person would do.

Now people do bring children to pubs now and then and have a meal but let’s face it a lot of drinking is done by the adults whilst the children are bored out of their minds. I’m so grateful that my parents weren’t pub goers who dragged my siblings and myself there at weekends. Didn’t stop me becoming an alcoholic though. A pub is no environment for a child. I remember years ago seeing a group of extremely inebriated adults in a hotel bar in Cork city whilst most their children ran amock. Two small girls were crying, asking their mammy to take them home. Is that right?

This was completely different to your mate and was 5pm on an evening with the car parked outside. There is more to it and I've fair reason to believe its the usual chipy reason that some have. Its one of them pubs where the hardcore slip in and out to the bookies by it all day so it has a certain market. It is not somewhere even on my radar when I am actually looking to go out.

They almost throw the tantrum you'd expect from the children. I did two years in Canada and most bars its illegal to be in them until your 18. Only right.

You would have to wonder what kind of pubs Jupiterkid goes to if he finds the concept so shocking. Going to a pub/ restaurant is actually very normal, these are suburban pubs not dirty bars in Berlin. Jeysus.
