Legal age to sit at a bar in new york state?

Answer 1

Legally, anyone under 16 has to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. There's no legal restriction against someone 16 or over being in a bar (it doesn't matter where you "sit," the law addresses entering an establishment that has an on-premise liquor license), however bars can have their own policies which include higher age limits. It's not legal to be in a bar if they tell if they tell you to leave.

The applicable section is 260.21 of New York Penal Law.
