6. (1) Persons under the age of sixteen shall not be allowed
inside a place of entertainment, and young persons over the age of
sixteen years shall prior to admission to any such place produce and
show their identity card to the proprietor.
(2) Persons under the age of sixteen shall be allowed inside a
place of entertainment if the proprietor applies for permission to
allow persons under the age of sixteen to be permitted inside his
place of entertainment and is granted such permission ...

Well if we take into consideration that most of the entertainment outlets in St. Julians and M'scala do sell wines, beers and spirits, then yes, it IS against the law

As far as i know, its not AGAINST THE LAW for persons under the age of 16 to enter places of entertainment (unless a law was passed without public knowledge)

For the 2nd time.......................... IT IS NOT AGAINST THE LAW FOR PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 16 to enter ENTERTAINMENT OUTLETS.
