Kids should not be in pubs after 6pm?

Just that really. Evening time in the pub is for adult relaxation and socialising, not somewhere for meeting the needs of young children. I just want to chill out and enjoy a glass of wine without an infant screaming from a buggy, kids on screens or toddlers running about. Yes, I am having a bit of a moan but the last few times I have been in pubs in my area there have been kids still knocking about well past 8pm with parents barely keeping them in check. Can we have pubs in the evening as adult only spaces please.

Some pubs are 18 and over all the time

After 7 I think is the norm

In Scotland they're not allowed in after 8. After 9 in Spoons I think. There tends not to be many. Find another pub? Find a quieter corner?
