Babies in Bars?!

[gravedigger]

Haha, those are exactly names people would use these days. Sad. And, what the hell, are there no babysitters anymore?

All I know is that I want to punch the dude in the article. And by the look on his kid's face, so does she.

No lie...the picture of that guy in the article is one of THE most squirm inducing things that I've seen in a long time. Is it possible for a guy to look any douchier?

Is it possible for a guy to look any douchier?

[V]

EXACTLY. I barely go to bars for those exact reasons. I'm not a social drinker. I'm a goddamn alcoholic.

No...

Alcholics have class.

You're a fucking drunk!

[Matt]

I suppose if we photoshop a BABY in front...

[V]

Agreed!

PHOTOSHOPPERS...ASSSSSEEEEEEMMMMBLE!

My favorite bar around here (Harrigan's) has slowly, since the passing of the 'no smoking in public places' law, become so infested with parents with small children, I don't feel comfortable being there. The patio/smoking area is in the front of the bar and inevitably there are dirty looks when my friends are out there smoking. And even worse was the night some parents had the bartenders turn down the jukebox because it was too loud for their kids. Fucking douches. If you can't save up the dough for a babysitter once a month, then fucking stay home or move to a cheaper city.

(*Sniffle!*) You are truly a soul-sister of mine!

Turning down the jukebox for kids. Holy shit. I would fucking snap if I was at Cecil's (a favorite bar with for my money the best jukebox in Houston) at it got turned down, or off, for some kids.

As a parent, I feel that if you take your kids to the bar you deserve to be cock/cunt punched.

But see, here's the one thing you guys don't get about Brooklyn hipster parents because you haven't experienced them - they are absolutely CERTAIN that everyone thinks their child is adorable. That you won't have a problem not smoking or swearing in a bar, because after all - it's a baby! Surely you think he's precious, yes? I mean, he's HERE now - do you think we should just take him home? Aren't they as parents entitled to a night out? Aren't they entitled to fucking EVERYTHING, just because they squeezed out a kid? Surely no one else in the world has ever given birth to one of these miracles! Ours is, no doubt, the most special one, the one who makes you want to crouch down in front of the stroller, wave the cigarette smoke out from between you, and make googly sounds at the little fucker all evening long. I mean, SURELY, once we get there to the BAR with our TODDLER, the room of people will melt. It'll be fine. And if it's not? Well, we'll just get loud and self-righteous about how they'll never get any of OUR hard earned hipster dollars anymore if little Noah/Sage/Taylor isn't welcome...in your BAR.

Hand up to god - that's the mentality, and there's no talking to them. You're a nazi if you don't think babies are adorable everywhere.

Yes, some babies are adorable. But not in bars.

And trying to convince them otherwise, I'm sure, is like a Republican trying to sway a Democrat to their way of thinking and vice versa. It ain't gonna happen.
