Children in bars

Children getting to be a little much for this bar, which also features cool games like skeeball and pinball

children in bars has become a freedom of speech issue

my child naps most peacefully 'neath the cigarette vending machine

Saw that dynamic in action recently at a beer garden in Pk Slope, kids playing a loud game directly under the television during a World Cup game that many people were there to watch. Tbh I thought it should be up to the bar staff to ask them to behave appropriately, not on other patrons. Not that it's easy for the staff either, but customers policing other customers seems like NAGL. The issue isn't really children being there as much as parents who treat all spaces as children's spaces imo.

Cheers, apparently unmarried mom with a baby Bjorn drinking rose

How do you know her baby is named Bjorn?

Bjorn babies have a look

they're bjorn with it

Brewery near me with bar/restaurant attachment and sorta family friendly game and activity spaces like a lot of these places do now recently instituted a “No kids after 6” rule and it’s gotten a lot of parents riled up.

Was not uncommon for parents to just chill out while their kids ran around the place unattended and it was consistently causing issues.

Have sympathy for attentive parents doing it right (or at least trying), but goddamn after recently having a herd of kids running wild in a similar space and nearly getting my coffee kicked all over my laptop while the responsible parent sat by and said nothing I’m very OK with it.

The kid did adorably say sorry though.

look kids are grand

fucking parents tho

lol!

I must be mellowing out or something - I had a nice (brief) interaction with two small humans at the bar yesterday. They had just learned to walk and were exploring. We exchanged smiles

aww

Dads checking their instas while their 6 month olds cry over the din of the music: ok fine, live and let live. But also: fuck off

suggest you rename this thread "Dads in bars."

This cute little patootie 8 month old just shat herself with olfactory hues cueing curious looks.

But how do you smell

if you’re not drinking in bars where the patrons could shit themselves at any time you’re doing drinking wrong imo

look kids are grand

fucking parents tho

have some fucking sympathy for the ppl who can't find someone to watch their kids so they can go to the bar by themselves like a grown-up for just fucking once they need this more than any of us

A micro-trend I’m noticing recently is that places round here, instead of the traditional general knowledge pub quiz, are holding a “Harry Potter quiz night” or “game of thrones trivia night”

move

I might have to :-(

A little while back I was managing a group of teachers and they all were chatting about growing up reading Harry Potter, also this was three years ago, why must time inexorably progress, fucks sake.

I was recently laughing at what a drunken degenerate, flat trashing, vodka swilling, lefty posh-boy waster Polly Toynbee's fatha was in his young days. But wikipedia revealed as well as going into a right wing sulk in his dotage. He wrote some grumpy piece in the early 60's about how he's glad everyone has finally realised what a pile of steaming dogshit J R R Tolkien is and stopped buying his wretched books and condemning them to the obscurity the worthless pos deserve.

sorry slightly offtopic, but arrgh fuck ya anyways!

thinking of becoming a dad in order to bring kids to bars

so my place of residence at the moment is salt lake city. it's known for being the mormon capital, and mormons are known for having lots of children. the reputation is accurate. almost everywhere i go outside of my bedroom in this state i have to share public space with countless moms and dads and their broods of four or more children. now i'm not so curmudgeonly as to categorically hate children or people who decide to have one or two kids but i find it exasperating and pathetic when mom and dad have obviously made an effort to produce 3 or more of themselves, increasing the net stupidity of humanity and adding a significant amount of additional co2 to the atmosphere.

the gym i go to is a two-floor barbell gym, locally owned and run. i am serious about weightlifting and go almost every day. today i was using the cable station on the second floor of an almost-empty gym when a herd of 6 kids and mom appear at the top of the staircase behind me. two of them start playing hopscotch right at the edge of my gym personal space and the rest climb on to the exercise bikes nearby and dink around. mom is doing nothing, just standing there watching them. i get very irritated and lose it, growling "this isn't a playground" at the kids and mom. i don't regret it. to that mom: i don't need to deal with your six fucking kids at my gym and i hate you and this """"family friendly"""" garbage can of a state for making it ordinary and acceptable for you to bring them there.

this is the children in bars thread, brother

start your own children in gyms thread

i'd rather start a bars in gyms or gyms in bars thread tbh

gym bar would be a good concept. though you would need to have some sort of waiver signed by each customer/member

I derive real pleasure from knowing this is going to be a calstars revive

and also have to wonder do you accidentally keep going to a kids' bar

Disappointed mom face

these parents clearly didn’t see the NO KIDS 8 1/2 x 11 posted by the door. Now they managed to spill a book of matches on the floor

at 8 1/2 x 11 i'm surprised they fit in the door in the first place
