sketchy, smelly, loud etc. does the trick

it is true that we only take our 1 yr old to bars that are spacious and good smelling. loud can be ok, though, since it will distract from those moments when a 1 yr old screeches for no reason other than to screech.

my local-ish is a pleasant family-friendly riverside pub, so I have no problem with kids there at Sunday lunchtime or w/e, but it's also the pub nearest an industrial estate, so I do question the wisdom of parents who bring their sprogs in at 6pm on a Friday night when it's elbow-to-elbow with the post-work crowd
also last time I was in on a quieter weeknight a toddler was making fire engine noises at the top of his lungs for an hour and the parents didn't even try to quiet him down, in fact the dad was encouraging it, which was p. annoying to me. but I know I'm weird for liking my pubs quieter than most
I also wish that people wouldn't send small boys to use the ladies' toilet unattended without at least making sure they don't pee everywhere and do flush and do shut the door so I don't get an accidental glimpse of prepubescent genitalia, cz I'm fairly sure you can be arrested for accidental glimpses now

yeah, that aligns well with my thinking bar loudness actually being good in some cases. tbh we mostly take our son to breweries that have a lot of open space and always well before 7pm, and I get calstars' deal more than I let on.

Advantage of summer: the tots' parents are enjoying the outdoor seating and are not in the bar proper

Like bars are p low on the list of where i dont need ppl to bring their kids, libraries, cinema, restaurants, public transport all places i need my peace more than in a bar

Public transport? Good luck with that

Yesterday I was here and an 8 year old, the ward of this loud couple, was lying face down on a bench in the back.

If I have one more and squint my eyes, I can almost pretend that this 5 year old is just a dwarf

I was really trying to contain myself this evening as these two parents and their annoying friend paraded their 3 year old around the empty beer garden, the friend talking loud baby speak, finally settling on an empty table right in front of me.

The parents of these children of the gentrified frontier want it all: an authentic, unpredictable bar experience and simultaneously a safe, sterile playroom for their offspring.

London is pretty bad for this. also, any place i find with good coffee has a time limit of about 2 months before hordes of parents + brats invade to park at the tables all day.

I wasn't planning to post, but this 1 year old just emerged from the darkness of the back of the bar and walked by me followed by her mom with the stylish torn black jeans. I made eye contact with the baby because WTF and as the mom passed she looked at me sympathetically as if expecting for me to express my appreciation of the cuteness of her progeny but f that

also does calstars just go to pedo bars or something? cuz he seems to run into an inordinate amount of children in bars. I never see kids in bars. granted I live in SF where there just aren't that many kids but still

The children have learned that calstars doesn't like kids in bars so now they have conspired to make calstars's life a living hell. Don't cross the children.
