my beloved bk neighborhood has been overrun by the mega rich yuppie douchebag set, and the bar on the corner now has these awful people with their kids running around and bothering people...it's called ENTITLED.

so what you're saying is you feel ... entitled ... to a bar with no kids in it

does the bar serve food? i think there are laws out here about bringing underage kids into just straight up bars... maybe i'm making that up, i don't know.

My sister and bro in law bring my eldest niece (four years old) to bars whenever policy permits. Last time she sat on my knees and jabbered while I drank my scotch.

This thread is relevant to my interests. I take my baby to bars all the time. If there's a changing table in the bathroom, it's fair game, IMO.

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.

XP we're pretty thoughtful about it. Like I'm not wheeling a double wide stroller into the corner slashie at 11:30 on a Friday so I can throw back shots while my neglected infant screams. It's mostly between 1 and 5 in bars that I know are kid-friendly for a couple of beers then back home.
Or what Jeff said, as we share that particular baby.

I am fine with babbies in bars and anywhere else UNLESS they are crying, in which case I am gonna be irritated if a parent does not remove said child until such crying ceases.

everywhere that has good reasonably priced food by me is a semi-bar at least, so hell yes we bring our infant to bars. this is not even a thing really in MN to be honest, kids in bars go back to the state incorporation as far as i can tell.
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Saturday, 12 April 2014 19:07 (eight years ago) link

One three year old bumps her nose and starts screaming bloody murder. Her sister runs to the front door and sprawls out completely on the floor, face first. The brother races his toy truck on the floor the entire length of the bar. Small place. The family finally makes a slight attempt to take control. The kids then start chanting “yes” in unison.
