We study the attractive Bose-Hubbard model with a tunable, on-site three-body constraint. It is shown that the critical behavior of the system undergoing a phase transition from pair-superfluid to superfluid at integer filling depends on the value of the three-body repulsion. In particular, a critical exponent and the central charge governing the quantum phase transitions are shown to have repulsion dependent features. In consequence, the model extends the list of known systems violating the universality hypothesis.
