I believe that 16 should be the legal age tbh,
I’ve always stated it,
We were regulars in city pubs from the age of 14,
Difference was you didn’t make a claim if you fell and the Gardai would thump the daylights out of you if you caused trouble ,
Happy days in the old Courthouse .
Bring back the phunt up the ass.
Now you simply can’t afford to be “in general “ 18 s say as the levels of maturity are so diverse ,your insurance would be in tatters and you’d be out business in a year ,that’s the one major issue ,
What I do for my customers is let them bring in their youngsters for a pint when they turn18,some 18 year olds are like old men and some are like kids ,
They fathers wont bring them in it the think they will cock up in their local and a good example is set for all,
It’s a shame it’s gone this way ,
I’ve regular customers that are 18 19.20 and so on but unless I’m introduced via their parents,guardians or older siblings we would be slow to do it ,
The prevalence of really astonishingly high quality fake Garda ids also make it not with your while ,passport only ,
I’d be as I always have been delighted to welcome parent and newly minted 18 year olds to the pub and take from there ,
I’d be happy to look after any on here .
