It's Friday night. Time to go out to dinner and enjoy the evening to celebrate another week's completion.

Do you take your children with you or leave them at home with a babysitter?

In Pennsylvania, a restaurant has a policy that is continuing to gain worldwide attention: No kids under the age of six are allowed to eat at the restaurant.

According to WTAE, the owner of the restaurant says there is no place for small children there. There are signs outside, inside and even printed notices on the tables detailing the ban on children.

He says he put the ban in place at the request of customers because of previous instances where children were improperly supervised.

The owner has conducted 61 interviews in just the last week and people are weighing in on the debate from across the world.
