I specifically mentioned City State because they promote themselves as a place where parents can enjoy themselves with their kids. They have even had kid-focused events in the past. I tried to note that it's probably not great for a party or more than a few people in a single group.

You may choose not to patronize that establishment as a result, but your callousness is pretty jarring.

OP thinks that kids should be banned from breweries and that breweries are strip clubs in terms of how appropriate they are for children. So there is that.

Callousness is certainly one way to describe it lol.

Oh it's sarcasm how you think kids should be banned from breweries. I agree a downside of the internet is you get shitty opinions stuffed in your face with absolute confidence, from folks who claim sarcasm when your point out their shitty takes. Fuck off now.

If the bar or brewery or whatever allows kids, then this is just .. what.. your belief that kids shouldn't be allowed somewhere?

> In this specific case how bad of a parent are you to not let your kid choose where they have their birthday party and, worse, pick a brewery for their party so you can drink.

Depends how old the kid is, they may not have a preference at all. Do you think a two year old cares where their birthday is? Or a one year old? How bad of a person are you for judging someone going to a nice outdoor space where kids are allowed?

> Call me crazy for thinking kids shouldn’t be allowed at a place for drinking. Keep them at home or get a babysitter.

I mean, am I allowed to bring a kid to a brunch place? People go to brunch explicitly to drink, and I not allowed to go there? Am I allowed to take them anywhere that is primarily for drinking? Secondary drinking? Anywhere assholes might object to a parent taking a child? Alternatively, let other people live their fucking life.

I dont really care what you think about kids at breweries, fwiw. You can keep your bad opinions about parenting to yourself, no need to post bad opinions on the internet and be proud about your bad opinions.

Who is advocating for binge drinking at a kids birthday party? No need to strawman or maybe you do need to to make your argument even moderately effective.

Is this a rhetorical question? Lol No These are adult spaces that were designed and intended for adults. There are reasons why bars and breweries have to explicitly specify they are 21+ over or 21+ over hours.

Same reason why there's family friendly or kid centric where it's explicitly advertised as kids welcomed places or part of their business plan to serve families.

Anyone remember the Midlands parents drama that cause to post age restricted hours??? 👀

ETA: Metrobar of good example. Addressing this and has specific hours and parameters.

"We are proud to be a gathering place for the community, and to welcome families as well as pets into our venue. However, first and foremost, this is an adult space. It is not a park or a playground. We kindly ask that you follow our rules so everyone can enjoy this space. No one – adult, child, or pet – should disrupt anyone else’s experience at metrobar.

Children and Families Children must be within arms length under direct supervision of their guardian at all times. For certain events / nights after 7pm, children under 12 are not allowed. Infants that are not yet of walking age are allowed We do not allow toys that cause any temporary or permanent marks on our guests or property, such as: chalk, yard games, balls, etc."

And yet many allow kids, and many breweries are family friendly.

I will avoid brunch because it will trigger you to see a child. Na, I won't.

So if the primary purpose of an establishmemt is drinking then children should not be present?

Do you have a revenue % in alcohol sales cutoff where kids aren't allowed to be at an establishment? Or is this authoritarianism vibe based

So businesses that either sell or produce their own alcohol for distribution cannot chose to catern to parents to bring their children? You have decided that kids are not allowed at these establishments. Again, any revenue rule of thumb or is your authoritarian belief completely vibe based? I wouldnt want to break the imaginary rules in your head, of course not!

Do you think strip clubs and breweries are the same?

No need to strawman your opposition unless your argument is very bad! But you keep doing it.

You refuse to answer simple questions like "can businesses that sell primarily alcohol cater to parents and children." if you think the answer is no then just admit you want to ban that behavior, and we can go on our separate ways. No need to create silly strawman arguments.

> dragging your kid to

Your personal issues with going places as a kid aren't really relevant here. If you think that strip clubs and breweries are so similar then this is really not a very interesting conversation. Again, whatever your personal issues are with children or had as a child going places are your own, and don't impact anyone else.

> You refuse to answer simple questions like "can businesses that sell primarily alcohol cater to parents and children." if you think the answer is no then just admit you want to ban that behavior, and we can go on our separate ways. No need to create silly strawman arguments.

No need to answer this simple question. I'll just ignore you now.

What? I didn't mention anything about brunch lol Restaurants are food places with side of bar.

I think posting 21+ hours is beneficial for everyone.

It just baffled me in your questioning that there would be anyone who when they decided to have kids and embark on parenthood, it was assumed or there was a line of thinking that you could go to places that are primarily drinking like pre kids but just bring your kid?

Where did I say that there shouldn't be 21+ hours? OP is arguing that bars and breweries should ban children.

Children should not be in bars. I don't understand how this is controversial...

Breweries? Sure have at it parents. But bars are for adults.

Thanks for your opinion. Have you ever had a conversation with a three year old about what they want to eat/drink/do for fun? They can barely talk. It’s incredibly selfish of you to expect that public places that you decide to visit should be off limits to families with young kids.
