Bringing kids to [normal] bars
What do you think the proper etiquette is for bringing your young kids to bars? I would say my ground rules are:
- No smoking places only (of course, and sorry Ming’s)
- If they cry remove them immediately and only return with a quiet baby
- Changing them in a back corner is OK, because it would be near impossible in a bar’s bathroom
Any thoughts? It seems prettt frown upon in the US in general to bring you kid to a bar, but I see it a lot in Europe.

Lounge bars are for the women and children. Public bars are for men, unless they pop into the lounge bar for Sunday lunch then back into the public bar.
If your not British and over 50 you might not understand that but that is from a time when Pubs were Pubs and men drank bitter or heavy.

Simple rule for me is "Seen but not heard". I take my 4 year old just about everywhere as far as normal bars, restaurants, etc. go because he's a good lad & will sit quietly without the need for an iPad. Beyond 8pm or thereabouts, no kid should be in a bar, for their own good more than consideration for miserable old gits.

Kids in bars? When I think of bars in Asia, I normally think of those sketchy bars with hookers because that's what they usually are. Now, bringing kids in those kinds of bars, that's just wrong. Well, even normal bars. They shouldn't be in there.

Probably because that's where you usually are. There are other types of establishments but it's no great loss if you just stick to what you know.fentys wrote:When I think of bars in Asia, I normally think of those sketchy bars with hookers because that's what they usually are.

Your kid and I have had some marvellous conversations, I guess outside bars on the terrace.Lucky Lucan wrote:Probably because that's where you usually are.

The nipper asked me about the space time continuum and whether it was a good idea to have a gun when he was about 6, or 8. I couldn't answer.
Certain kids in certain bars. I dunno. There aren't rules.

Pretty narrow view of the world if that’s all you (fentys) think of bars.
The only place I had an issue was at Rosewood. They wouldn’t let us up the elevator at 5:30 PM. Finally they did, and then we were greeted by someone that informed us no one under 18 was allowed at Sora (the sky bar). I asked why, at 5:30, I can’t have a beer with my son. I was told it wasn’t safe because people were drinking and smoking. Umm... it’s outside.
I think this is a case of them being too specific with rules. Any bar in the US or Europe would let you in at 5:30 PM with your well behaved infant, but they were told here “no one under 18 can come in and drink.”
I get it’s not a tourist site, but don’t get the logic to their arguments there.

You have an infant correct? It's not like they refused your quiet 16 year old. They were too polite to tell you that people don't spend $200 to sit down and listen to your baby playing on his iPad or screaming like they normally do in public in Cambodia. If you're not staying in the hotel I really don't know what you're doing at Rosewood with kids.FatherTime wrote:Pretty narrow view of the world if that’s all you (fentys) think of bars.

I very much doubt you'd be able to take a toddler to some British pubs except on family brunches. Why do you assume you should be exempt of written rules, just because you're a Westerner in Cambodia?Any bar in the US or Europe would let you in at 5:30 PM with your well behaved infant, but they were told here “no one under 18 can come in and drink.”
