Answer 6

It used to be about 16.  Don't know at present.

Are you planning on drinking there?

Stay away from their "FOCKING GIN".  I still have a bottle, empty now.

Answer 7

i always thought it was 16 because when i went i got alcohol very easily, but i guess that it is 18 now. just like most places in the world, its really easy to get alcohol. smoking as well... they have little vending machines!

Answer 8

It is 18. It used to be 16 but the law was changed a few years ago. 18 for both drinking and smoking. Be careful if you drink at night out from a bar, pub or restaurant. Depending on the area you can be arrested. The best advice is just do what you see around you.

Have fun!

Answer 9

18 I think.
