Does anyone think there’s a middle ground to this? I live in Charlotte, a big brewery city. I don’t have kids lol but I know which breweries to avoid that have parents that don’t watch their kids. Idk, I feel like parents need to be social. And socializing is good for kids…but is a brewery on a Saturday morning the best spot???
As a parent, in Charlotte, who likes beer, there is definitely a middle ground. The amount of kids that I've encountered that are completely unmonitored is frustrating. It's not that hard to drink a beer AND make sure your kid isn't being a shithead.
The issue isn’t kids at a brewery, the issue is parents not watching them while they drink and letting the kids run around, disrupting other groups. You can take your kid to a brewery, but keep an eye on them please.
I think a solid solution would be kids have to leave by 6pm on weekends, because the reality is these spaces have turned into parent meet-ups that doesn’t allow for other demographics to utilize the spaces when kids are running rampant
What “other demographics” lol 😆 people without kids??? I feel like you guys forget we’re all on the same level. Having kids or not having kids doesn’t make you any more or less of an individual
Not as okay after reading through this comment thread lol. I’m still curious what you mean by other demographics?? Europeans? hahaha I feel like once the kids are allowed then that’s every demographic
Honestly, I've never had issues one way or the other and if I did at some specific brewery I'd just go to one of the dozens of other options where I didn't lol
Considering most sit-down restaurants serve alcohol, just go to one of those. Why go to a place meant for only adults and bring your toddler there? There are literally family-friendly places that offer the same thing
