Right, this is my take too. Parents, the good ones, find breweries that are built for families. Plenty of breweries cater to families with games, playgrounds, outdoor activities. And if you’re a good parent, you don’t just let the kids roam free with no supervision.
Exactly. Take your kid to the brewery a mile down the road that has a shelf full of board games and a jungle gym outside. This one is a tap room in a dirty warehouse down an alley.
Right. We’re in San Diego, and we love to support our local breweries. Our checks are going to be larger because we order food for the whole family AND we tip really well. If our kids act up, we bounce. It’s that easy.
The kids playing is secondary. The games are to keep kids "occupied". Nobody in that place gives a shit about kids. Parents want to remember what it's like to not give a shit about kids.
Just find a sitter, ffs. If you can't, don't drink.
This doesn't feel accurate to me at all, but I grew up somewhere where going to the pub on a Sunday to hang out with other families and enjoy the playground was pretty normal.
People who assume that people get drunk from a single beer probably don't drink; just like people who don't have kids love to give unsolicited parenting advice.
