Good Pub To Watch The Football With Baby

[jeffgood]

Hi guys,

I would like to watch the Liverpool/Man Utd game in a pub later today in BKK, can anyone suggest somewhere that is child friendly/suitable?

Cheers.

[jeffgood]

Thanks guys, is that a no then?

I have seen kids, babies in the pickled liver (soi 7/1) suk.

No smoking allowed inside.

Whats wrong with taking your kid to a pub?

A place where people are getting drunk is not a good place for a child

In order ever one can follow the Pub rules. Bad for kids, you want your kids to endure those noisy music, drunkards yelling?

[ShopBoy]

he doesn't have a kid yet i bet

[MichaelSong]

I dont know about BKK, but I think he is looking for a bar like the Irish Pub in CM. Many people come there with kids , no problem.

Not all bars have noisy music , drunkards yelling, but yes, these may be difficult to find. That is why he posted the question, dont understand the cynical remarks ... but yes, this is TV allright

[Forethat]

I know this pub in Perivale that's attached to a Whacky Warehouse. Bring the kids, chuck 'em into the Whacky Warehouse and watch the rugby on the telly with the mates while having a pint..!!! That's nothing but a win/win.

no noise at all

Why have a go at the OP about the rights and wrongs of taking a baby to a Pub?

This is precisely why he is asking us here.. Is there anywhere suitable?

Obviously, he doesn't want to take his kid to a noisy, rowdy, smoked filled dive of a place that could kick off at any moment.

What he's looking for is somewhere quiet, it could also be a restaurant, or one of those quiet places you see in shopping malls.

Barbican at Patpong Soi Tanya.

If you dont mind getting past the girls first, this pub has a kind of "clean" enviroment and is smoke free!

[smokie36]

The OP would be better off asking for good reliable childcare for a couple of hours.

[falangjim]

Hanrahans on Sukhumvit soi 4 is not what I'd call "suitable place for kids" but maybe the upstairs of this clean pub would be out of the way enough to both enjoy the game and keep a child entertained. You'd have to walk the gauntlet of the other beer bars with its pervs hanging over the edge, but I think this bar which is across from Hilary Bar can be quiet enough for what you're looking for. Good luck.

[gkinbkk]

Too late now but I would think The Clubhouse on S23 would be pretty good in this instance. You can sit in a booth with the TV right in front of you and there's no smoking inside.

Alternatively you could try The Queen Vic on the same Soi...there's also no smoking inside and its pretty rare you actually see anyone in there.....

[Moonrakers]

I know in the US & UK that they waive the law of not allowing kids in bars if they have a single parent and there is a sports game on.

Don't understand what point your sarcasm is trying to make because there is no law that means kids are not allowed in pubs in the UK. In fact, pubs up and down the country openly advertise that they are 'child friendly' with an atmosphere that is suitable for children and UK pubs are full with families with young children at weekends. That is clearly what the OP is asking, a pub that is suitable for children, it ain't rocket science.

To answer the question about the best pub........... Dunno, sorry. I don't watch football much. As mentioned already though the Robin Hood might be your best shot. No smoking and not a rowdy crowd.

Didn't realise this as been away for ages so accepted the legal statement at face value -

boggles my mind that people will quite cheerfully have kids in pushchairs and/or running around at weddings in smoky halls filled with raucous drunks but castigate someone for going to a child friendly pub - maybe its the word pub or bar that does it!

[Moonrakers]

Just double checked on google, and yes, definitely no law against it.

Obviously admission is at the discretion of the landlord and many are likely to say no because their patrons don't want kids about. Neither would they want the responsibility of young kids in a lively atmosphere.

But then, that's why the question is being asked.

Which country are you speaking about? I assumed England didn't allow minors into bars, discos and clubs but maybe they do. I know for a fact it is illegal in the US and am fairly confident in Thailand too ... why do you think they card people and the cops do raids and arrest underage folks in these establishments? Where I believe the laws varies, at least in much of the US, is when food is served. In some jurisdictions an establishment must have more than 50% of revenue come from food to not be considered a bar ... in other words just because an establishment provides pretzels doesn't mean it can get away not calling itself a bar. There are also often exceptions for bar workers being under the legal age to drink but still needing to be an adult.

Didn't the football start nearly 24 hours ago,another thread full of useless information,a simple request gets turned into I know the pub laws of every country.

You assumed wrong: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6598867.stm

Raids are not carried out for underage people being in pubs. They are carried out for underage people drinking in pubs.

I can find nothing to suggest children are not allowed entry in Thailand. I can however find examples of pubs openly adverting they gladly accept children. I can't be 100% sure but I suspect you assumed wrong on that count as well.

They guy evidently just wants to sit and watch football with a drink or two..... QUICK, call social services.

[Saenchai]

Well, i dont comment on the other posts here...i think your old enough to decide what you want anyway.

So even it is too late now, for next time i would suggest the Gullivers in Suk Soi 5. Is not really a Pub, theres also a hotel next to it but its pretty big and have live football all the time. Not many drunken ppl are there, at least not the 200 times when i was there when my wife was working there.

There are also some families and its out and indoor. Not bad place imo. No smoking inside so your kid is safe at least from that.

I have removed a number of posts and replies for being inflammatory in nature.

...........................

I was under the impression that many countries alcohol laws make provisions for minors being accompanied by a legal guardian to be allowed access to a "pub".

[nocturn]

spoken like a man with no children, or, worse, one who let his wife do all the work last time around.

i have found that in many places, the waitresses love nothing more to play with my child who has been going out with me since she was a baby. she is now 5, very well behaved and welcome anywhere we go, though we generally stick to afternoons and short visits.

the Australia pub on 11 is a fair example of this, where she knows most of the staff by name.

I am a parent and personally cannot find any reason why a responsible parent would want to bring his child to a bar. Responsible meaning they are putting the welfare of their child first before their need to go to a bar.

I think it depends on what you define as a pub. If you mean a bar then I think you are wrong. If you are talking about a place that has a kitchen and serves food then that is a different story.

It's just a pub for crying out loud, what do you think people do in pubs that is so dangerous? People mostly just sit and drink/eat and have a chat.

Yes, some are too rowdy/smoky and therefore unsuitable but that is the exact reason this thread has been started. The OP is looking for a place that is suitable for children. The operative word here is suitable.

UK law clearly states that there is no law against it, no matter how much you might want there to be. Again, here's another link for you to ignore: http://webarchive.na...out/dg_10026210 It is perfectly legal in the UK and in many other countries. Thailand included (I think)

A pub is not some kind of den of inequity that is nasty and evil, it's is just a place where people socialise and relax. Provided the parent is responsible then there's no harm in it whatsoever. Stop being so judgmental.

You are right. When thinking of your child's best interest and your desire to watch a game then it only makes sense to take the child to a place (a bar in Bangkok) where adults are getting drunk and where it is not uncommon to see people over indulge, fight and using foul language... especially during a big game. I am sure the other patrons, who want to let loose with other adults, will be happy you brought the child too ...

But who knows, maybe there are some child friendly bars in Bangkok ... ones that don't cater to pedophiles that is.

This is not the UK, it is Bangkok ... but if you want to pretend it is then why not catch the game with your children at Soi Cowboy or Nana? Limiting your selfishness and/or lower your standards of parental responsibility doesn't make you a good parent. So, why not just go all out and take the kid to a strip show as it will teach them to act better when they are 5-years old in different places and as mentioned there is nothing bad going on there, just people looking to enjoy themselves. Surely there must be some child friendly strip clubs where dad can enjoy the afternoon with his child.

To each his own when it comes to parenting but me .. I draw and have drawn the line at not waning my children to go to bars or places designed for adults to go to want to be free to be adults while consuming alcohol to the point of intoxication. I've also not ever been keen on bring my child around a bunch of strangers (especially one drinking) as I pay attention to other things other than my child, such as the game on TV.

Been watching football for 12 years in Bangkok and never seen a fight in any of the regular bars I go to.... especially during a big game. 11 years ago I left a touristy bar in Samui as it had that English about to kick off feel. Most guys have spider sense that kicks in when you see the wrong crowd that has brought their tribalism all the way to thailand.

I applaud the father for asking in advance as it's every man's right to have beer and football and as long as they don't abuse it who are we to deny them such.

As for foul language I heard more wahs and woys at my daughter's sports day than expected, so she's been taught these are big people's words not for small people and not to be said to grandma again ever!

So he asks for a child friendly place and you're now on pedophiles and strip clubs, over dramatise much?

Like I said before, I've seen worse behavior at weddings than I have watching football, more drunken fights too!

Fair enough .. you are an advocate for taking your child to a bar in Bangkok, Thailand and I am not. We can agree to disagree.
