Concerns over 'exposure' to alcohol at a young age were raised but the city's Licensing Board voted in favour of The 1888 bar's proposal.
A pub near Celtic Park used by fans on match days can now let children in — despite health chiefs’ concerns over “exposure” to alcohol.
A representative told the city’s Licensing Board: “As children grow up, their attitudes towards alcohol will be influenced by what they see, hear or experience. Protection from negative consequences of alcohol consumption is essential to mitigate potential harm. While the health partnership welcomed the addition of bar meals, the representative said: “Providing food does not actually create a family-friendly environment for socialising.
He said a small room in the pub, which mainly opens on match days, has been identified, with its own entrance, so children aren’t in the main bar. He added his client had been disappointed by “possibly unfair stereotyping in some of the descriptions that were used”.
