To accept means to agree to a proposal, suggestion or idea. To allow means to give permission. In the sentence you are referring to children have no permission to enter that public house - they are not allowed in that pub.

hi,
is there any redundancy: a place and where?
I think "a place" and "where" indicate the same thing, is that right?

Yes, I think that's correct.
You can omit "where" in this case. Because this is one of the relative clause. And the replaced word is an object.
But If you don't omit, no problem !
