Last week, a sign went up. It caused a lot of other stuff to go down.
Hampton Station, a neighborhood craft beer and pizza spot in Seminole Heights put the notice up on Oct. 24, on the front door in fat all-caps.
NO CHILDREN.
It’s a local piece of a national conversation. As American breweries and bars become increasingly welcome to families, with laid back atmospheres, food, games and grassy knolls, should business owners be able to draw the line?
In Tampa Bay, it didn’t take long for diners to take sides: The "this is an outrage" side, and the "it’s their prerogative, and I’m happy there’s someplace I can eat kid-free" side.

I’m there. Give me the coordinates.
Papa John’s....
Good for them

No problem with their policy, but how, exactly, are they going to identify Democrats?
People can go elsewhere if they want. Owners are free to do what they want. We need freedom and people to be free to choose with what is theirs more than anything else. All this SJW crap’s gotta go.

Kids dont belong in bars.

Seminole Heights. They still have a serial murderer on the loose.

Doesn’t scare me. I live in the sanctuary state of California. Every day I’m not killed by an illegal is a good day.
So many places now refer to themselves as "Grill and Bar" rather than "Bar and Grill". I guess those wimpy institutions are embarrassed to be selling alcohol at all.
Vast majority of kids I see when eating out are well behaved and are fun to watch.
Stupid policy to ban kids
What’s to be outraged about? Just a better smelling version of Planned Parenthood.
There is no such thing as real pizza in Tampa.
Let the market decide.
Freedom of association has been under attack for decades.
What?
Stupid to post without reading article.
Story I heard was patrons were not watching after their children and an accident with a child may have occurred. The owner is banning kids to keep them safe. Apparently the bar is near a busy road or something.
