Mgarr eatery Bohini places 18 and over age limit for all customers

Oct 18 2022

A small 14-table bistro in Mgarr called Bohini has decided to place an age limit of 18 and over for all its customers. The move, which was explained via a social media post, sparked some discussion online.

The eatery explained that this was not an easy decision to make and that ‘not all children should be put under the same umbrella, but unfortunately when dealing with issues like these, the good has to always suffer with the bad.’

The post outlined how small the eatery is but, despite this, staff have had to deal with children left unattended running around the restaurant. ‘This is a danger for both our staff trying to carry out their job, as well as for the children themselves.’

Another reason given was dealing with the parents of such children. Some proved to be very understanding, but others, they said, left false reviews and even insulted staff, sometimes in regards to their sexuality, when trying to ensure a safe space.

‘Such a decision cannot be liked by everyone […] but we have taken this action based on the primary reason Bohini first opened it’s doors. That is, to create a welcoming, peaceful, calm environment people can enjoy with friends as well as making new friends here!’

The news had mixed responses – some completely understood the move by the owners whilst others critiqued them for not giving them a space to attend with their entire family. What do you think?
