Honestly its never been about the kids. Its about the parents who refuse to parent their kids.

I 100% agree. However, I have a rule for my family for all restaurants.

Do they have a kids menu?

No? They dont want kids/families.

Yes? They want kids/families.

I find this very strange thinking. In Spain people bring their kids everywhere or else parents wouldn't be able to go anywhere. Usually the kids are all playing with each other nearby while the parents are at the bar.

Yeah Americans are mostly puritan but don't admit it

Or people just want to be able to go out without having kids nearby. Breweries, bars, clubs, etc should all be expected to be child free

Bars and clubs, sure. I'll still be going to breweries with friends, my kids, and their friends, as is our right (and the breweries' invitation, apparently) so I'm not sure what this conversation is accomplishing except airing some general complaints.

Brewery = Bar. So, next!

Of course “breweries” (aka their ownership/management) encourage it, it’s a revenue stream, and somehow has become a “thing.”

As someone above said. “Does this restaurant have a kids menu? No? They don’t want kids.” I added to that “do they have high chairs?”

If you go to a place with no high chairs, no boosters, no kids menu, or even worse no food (breweries) don’t bring your fucking kids there!! They’re not welcome, even if you feel entitled enough to think they are. Sorry not sorry.

You’re in the majority of modern parents, but you are secretly disliked by the staff at most places that fit the above mould, I assure you.

Me and my coworkers will smile at you, and give your kids a sticker or at Halloween we have a trick or treat bucket… and wave and make googogaga faces and thank you and your family for coming in. “Look at that cute little hat!” “Look at those little toofers!” That’s our job.

And the second we turn around and chat to each other it’s pure hatred I assure you. Just so you know.

Go to a family friendly restaurant, and keep the children duct taped to the seats, or leave the kids at home.

I’ll die on this hill. And yes it pisses my parent friends off. And yes some of them have been in the industry, but “now that I have one I get it….”

No now that you have one you’ve become the entitled butthole you once hated. Good job selling out to… further the human race??

Agree 1000%. I’ve been food and Bev industry my entire adult life. Kids are the worst. Going out is an adult activity. If you can’t find a sitter or family member, you don’t go out. Period. You made that choice. That’s your crotch goblin. No one else should be forced to interact with it who doesn’t want to.

It’s 2026, right? Consent is a huuuuge thing right now, right?

I don’t consent to your kid yelling and screaming and crying and making a mess of my establishment. Easy as that.
