Ireland’s tradition of bringing kids to pubs is under scrutiny over concerns about minors' exposure to alcohol-serving environments.
A longstanding Irish tradition of bringing children to pubs is facing increased scrutiny, especially after writer Anikki Sommerville criticized the practice on Newstalk Breakfast, arguing that alcohol-serving environments are inappropriate for minors.
While families often bring kids to pubs for weekend outings or post-sports events, with children seated in corners or playing in beer gardens, concerns are growing over children’s exposure to alcohol-centric settings.
The debate reflects shifting societal views on child safety and public space norms, though no consensus has emerged on whether the tradition should continue.
