I know, it’s so rare that my wife and I do the same and make it a point of saying something to parents with well behaved kids. It’s really sad the way it is these days.
“Legally, under 16’s can’t go inside, 18 to buy a drink...even if that isn’t strictly adhered to, young kids aren’t seen inside.”
Source?
These are changes these places have made as a result of parents and children. They weren’t made for no good reasons. Plus the whole place is about, and serving, alcohol.
Probably just a coincidence, but I note that the breweries at issue are all located in solid blue communities. I have spent most of my adult life in family friendly breweries in red communities and have not witnessed unruly children due to parental malpractice.
In Irish communities, the local pub on Sunday after Mass is a family tradition.
Trust funders
I’m all against the bad parents, who are rampant in the US.
Maybe there is room in the marketplace for craft malt liquor.
A third category is what I think of as a brewery — a place where you can tour and watch them make the beer.
If it’s a place with tables and chairs like the ones you describe — the kids and parents should remain seated.
That is NOTHING.
I flew a flight where a First Class passenger changed a dirty diaper on a tray table during DINNER SERVICE on the plane. The lead FA told us about it later. (I would have lost my MIND if I had been up there.)
But, back to the subject at hand - the parents don’t monitor their children and are completely responsible for this change in policy - I wouldn’t be surprised if this parent is probably one of the biggest A-HOLES with rotten, savage kids who have ruined many a dinner for people who have spent a lot of money on a nice night out only to have to endure crappy parents with loud, stupid brats.
“Another noted: ‘There are already so few eating and drinking establishments in Cleveland to go to with our son …”
Me growing up in the UK (80’s), trying to get into pubs before being of age.
14 - adult can buy you an alcohol drink in the *garden*, not inside
16 - you can go inside and have an adult buy you a drink
18 - you can go inside and buy yourself a drink
...but my small village pubs would let me go in and buy a drink when I was barely 16, no ID to check anyway.
Me and my sister in North Carolina in the early 1970’s-
our mother would give us $2.00 and send us to the local Kwik Pik - a hometown convenience store. We would grab a 6 pack or Red, White and Blue beer for our mother, a pack of Salem lights menthol cigarettes and we could spend the rest on candy for ourselves. The store clerks never even batted an eye when we put everything on the counter to be rung up!
Oh, and we were 6 and 7 years old to the time we were 8 and 9.
I’m an Old English 800 guy myself.
That too
I say ban kids/toddlers. They have no place in a bar environment.
Hey jack! My uncle Bosie worked in a brewery. He drowned in a vat of beer.
They found footprints so figure he got out to pee. True story man.
“I flew a flight where a First Class passenger changed a dirty diaper on a tray table during DINNER SERVICE on the plane. The lead FA told us about it later. (I would have lost my MIND if I had been up there.)”
Sounds like that mom was raised in a barn.
Wow we must all be old here. yea I remember the 70’s. we could go buy beer or cigarettes for our folks or an adult relative but usually that store owner or clerk had to know us and who we were buying it for. In small areas everyone knew everyone else so it was cool.
The whole thing will end when Muslim rule takes over.
No alcohol.
