Children in bars

is that a gun in his hand? im only after noticing that now, wtf?

Lookit this noob, never been to a hard ass baby bar before

How about drunks in parks with kids? I feel like Tay Zonday trying to breathe away from every other parent I run into out here.

You know, we often would take our kid / kids to restaurants, and you'd see other people go 'oh god its a baby' or whatever age she/they were but they never created or carried on, nd you'd see those same people visibly relax.

Yeah, we were lucky.

Only time I can remember was when Alice was given her kiddy pizza, a flat round marguerita , took one look at our rectangular adult veggie one and spoke in her full voice "I WANT THAT ONE' to which I replied "I don't blame you"

Anyway, what was the question?

Signing the check! That is quaint.

Like I mentioned upthread: been taking kids to bars since they were newborn. No problems. It's the parents who sometimes misbehave. The ones who do, of course, don't usually take their kids to bars...because they don't usually drink.

Douchy parents decide to have brunch with their one year old and take over half the place with their accessories. On the way out, the pen they have to dad to sign the check is out of ink. Then he drops a bag full of toys all over the floor. At least he has the courtesy and dignity to look shamed while picking the stuff up.

You are fucking kidding me here right?

I haven't read the thread for a while but if you are serious about this complaint I just what

Oh wait just read the thread, you are a maniac

The dignity of being ashamed

Get this 9 year old out of here

He's dancing in the middle of the place to "Take on Me"
about to homicide my face

it's less bars than pubs here, which have outdoor beer gardens for the smokers... I feel bad (don't object, but am bothered) by the fact this ONE spot I can still go to drink and smoke cigs, has kids present. and you get glares from the parents for the smoking. come on! we're a dying (lol) breed. give us something.

It's pretty easy with Ivy. She's 4.5 months old so she just hangs out in the carrier strapped to one of us while we drinky drink drink (usually sleeping). We go during off hours though, usually a Sunday afternoon to a place we know won't be crowded or annoying.

More difficult at 20 months, for sure. All she wants to do is walk around and go say hello to other people or try and tend bar. We still limit her bar time to non-peak hours, and usually we can only get an hour's worth of drinking in before she's had enough. Pretty soon to get our drinking in, I think we'll have to break out the distracto-iPad.

"i'm guessing you don't have elderly people in your life" is def one of the most annoying things people w/ elders in their life say, esp in that superior tone it usually comes in

damn right i don't and there's a reason for that. i don't like old people or being around them. i'm not going to be overtly displeased with old people in bars (well, elder-friendly bars, some bars would be just wrong) but i reserve the right to prefer elderly people elsewhere and bitch about it privately afterwards. i don't think "enjoying the company of strangers' elders" should be a general expectation. i don't like the company of obnoxious adults either and pick the places i socialise to avoid them where possible and basically 90% of old people have the same effect.

old people that i actually know are slightly easier to tolerate, i guess.

lmao bad posts itt

i don't like 90% of other kids, or 90% of other parents, whether in bars or otherwise. actually i just don't like most people :(

some of you people sound like awful bar company

Jesus. It's 9 o'clock. This is bullshit. Get your kid out of here. Fucking foosball.

Thank god, they're leaving.

Oh they're just sending in a replacement.

bars are for killing oneself with toxins, swearing, or trying to copulate. children must never be allowed in them at any point - bars in which children are allowed cease to be bars and therefore people who like bars can avoid them.

What if the children also want to kill themselves with toxins, swear and copulate?

they can wait til they get a fake id like everyone else had to

time was you could kick a child into the street

if children can be put behind bars, children ought to be allowed in bars

HERE HERE!

I mean. . . shit.

It's past your bedtime

I could say that about a lot of people I see in bars.

"Daddy got in trouble. Family time is over. Let's go home"

Lol 6pm bedtime

This couple doesn't seem that bad. The kid's screams are not that noticeable above the din of the general conversation and music. The mom is even kind of cute in a Slavic kind of way. No rings though so maybe it's just a nanny and her boyfriend. I certainly don't care enough to attempt to clarify the situation.

tonight, around 8pm, 6 children sprinting up stairs, down other stairs, basically in a loop through the entire bar, for 45 minutes or so. in the end their parents are just basically getting wasted.

there is definitely a spirit among some parents in which they refuse to accept that the fact they have kids means some extra responsibility. i'm not saying this is some symptom of decline, just that the growing idea of endless no-child youth is causing internal conflict and desire among those who successfully procreated before they got the memo.

i see this in country bars a lot too. kids with colouring books in the bar and then an hour or two scampering about the place. sorry ye cant have it both ways, lads

This one is taking his first steps here. He's got a great haircut. I smiled at the little sh1t

...destroy him

omg google for "shit" and find calstars

other way round tbh

can you provide a deeper description of the people at the bar and maybe at the bar itself, next time or from memory if you can. i've never seen children at a bar.

Fight the kid's dad

We tried a new place for lunch out today. Roof deck is packed with early-20s who ordered bottomless brunch and probably threw away the food. Downstairs is half-packed with early-20s who ordered bottomless brunch and ate most of their food. Other than the usual champagne cocktails the bottomless brunch also gives an option of cans of Corona light, Miller lite, and Tecate - they're all drinking the Corona. Out of three pretty shit beers that's easily the worst, and I know from shit beer.

My five year old was a perfect lady and ate her waffle with aplomb. But yes, now that I'm pushing 40, I do kind of resent children in bars, especially the ones that don't know how to drink.

I don't understand Corona. It's the beer for people who want to project that They're On Vacation. It tastes like fake lime piss.

This is the first time I've ever heard a waiter tell a table "last call" at 12:53 in the afternoon

I would too if hipsters were dumping food and drinking Corona.

Jesus tombot
Five
Jesus

I know it's fucking insane

. i've never seen children at a bar.
