Big deal. People take their kids to taverns all the time.

So long as there is no underage drinking or drunk driving whats the problem?

Well, if you would like to teach your children that the bar scene is "oh so cool!" at 5 years old, go for it.

“Big deal. People take their kids to taverns all the time”

No they don’t, not in the USA.

It would be factually correct to state that “most people do NOT take their children to taverns/bars/clubs/pubs”.
That a few idiots do so, makes it a “big deal” when it is done.

I was taken to a tavern by my Mom and her boyfriend when I was a young child (around 10). However, I was not expected to dress up like a queer and boogie around for them.
