It is illegal for anyone under 21 years of age to enter an establishment licensed for the sale of alcoholic beverages or any municipal liquor store in order to buy, serve, or deliver any alcoholic beverage. In some restaurants, children can sit at the bar, but not all. It is best to check with the specific restaurant you plan to visit to see if there are any age restrictions. This way, you can avoid any potential problems.
Laws specify a minimum age for employees who serve or dispense alcoholic beverages in local establishments. If you have questions about how to configure your bar area to comply with regulations, contact the liquor license inspector in your area. California's ABC law is designed to prevent minors from being in bars and clubs where alcohol is served. You can enter a bar without drinking if you work there, want to eat there, or attend a social gathering if it takes place in an area of the building where alcoholic beverages are not sold.
In addition, some restaurants may have their own policies regarding children sitting at the bar. In most states, there is no legal requirement that a person be 21 years old to sit in a bar or restaurant. However, the answer to this question depends on the state in which the restaurant is located. For example, in California, minors are not allowed to sit in a restaurant bar unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The ban on eating indoors and consuming alcohol in bars and restaurants in Minnesota was (partially) lifted on Monday, January 11. Other states, such as Colorado, allow minors to enter bars as long as they are accompanied by a parent or guardian.
