Just wondering how old do u have to be to go to a bar?
I know this sounds like a wicked retarded question but I'm just wondering
My friend Mary wants to go to a bar to watch a Red Sox game...obviously not drink
But just to watch the game
I think you have to be 18...but I could be wrong

If it's a bar/restaurant with a big screen TV or something, you may get away with being underage. But David is correct, you must be 21 to go to a bar.

Can't you take kids into pubs out there? Most pubs here allowe kids in certain parts until a certain time (as long as their with an adult obviously). Mind you a lot of pubs here offer food so people come in with their kids for that

If the . . . er, establishment sells food, it's not considered a bar, & kids can enter & sit at a table.

Casinos are an interesting case. We have big themed casinos in Vegas & elsewhere, where the large gambling floor is surrounded by shops, restaurants, & even arcades. You have to grab your kid by the hand & walk quickly across the casino floor (you can't stop), as long as you're heading to a shop or a restaurant, where you can plop down with your kid & eat.
