Hey man you do you, but using reddit upvotes as a reflection of the real world is naive at best.

You seem to believe that you are entitled to your space in a restaurant but that's just not how the world works. Kids exist. 99% of them are better mannered and more pleasant than you and your buddies 5 beers deep on a thursday afternoon. "bUt WhEn kIds aRe LouD ItS ObNoxiUs" yeah I agree. it's also obnoxious when adults are loud and drunk. should we ban all lacrosse players from bars too just because I find them unpleasant? No. That's fucking stupid and i'm making generalizations based on dumb stereotypes. In reality i'm sure my family could eat at a table next to yours and neither of us would ever notice each others' existence.

if you want a kid free space there are plenty of bars/clubs/shows that are 18 or 21+. trillium is not one of those spaces. just because a place serves beer doesn't make it a place for you to get wasted after work.

If we're gonna start dividing spaces like this, then you can fuck off from all the beaches and parks during the daytime. You definitely cannot bring beer to the beach anymore. I also hope I never see you at a sporting event (we wouldn't want you to have to see a child having a good time).

The whole premise of this conversation is fucking stupid. You do your thing and families will do theirs.

And I don’t want to deal with douche canoe bros who think they own every restaurant they walk into but I guess we will just have to tolerate each other

you can ignore most of the responses in this thread... i have 3 elementary aged kids and we have gone to many breweries in the area for lunch/dinner many times. one near us literally has a children's band come and play live music every few months, and our 5 year old tears up their dance floor.

haven't been to trillium specifically but like you say, they are usually just restaurants that brew their own beer on site. nobody is getting wasted at 5pm and fucking in the bathroom any more than any other fort point restaurant, which to be fair is mostly finance bros so actually there's a non zero chance your kids' cocaine habit gets a kick start
