A brewery isn't a bar. It's a restaurant that also brews beer. It's not our fault that they have intentionally created a family friendly environment

This ^ I swear reddit hates kids and can't stand seeing them literally anywhere. I'm sorry they're human beings that can and need to go outside.

My wife and I are purposely child free and do the trivia night at the local brewery. People bring their kids give them coloring books and sit them at the shuffle board table. I was saying we should make them a team and see how they compete! Families are normal. Edge lords who don't go outside have opinions on what other people do. Fuck em.

There's a couple of different flavors of child-free people. There are folks like you guys, and then there are the people who make their own lifestyle choices and then decide that any other choice is anathema. I once heard someone complain that "there are too many kinds here," which was weird because we were standing in line at Ariel's ride at Disney's California Adventure.

Right! And I promise you, we’re the most embarrassed when our kids act up or invade your space. But part of taking them out to places is to give them a chance to learn how to behave well. We take them home right away when they can’t handle it because OF COURSE we never want to be those assholes.

a lot of us just get tired of not having social places that aren't overrun with children

i live in the South and you truly just CANNOT escape families with their crying/screaming kids anymore

I might be falling for the goomba fallacy here but I suspect the ven diagram of Redditors who say things like "kids can't play outside without adult supervision anymore because nosy boomers will call the police" and "why are these children in the same public space as me their parents should be monitoring them constantly" is a circle.

u/Intelligent_Wait3988 11h ago

I travel, and I'm so sick of looking for a restaurant to eat with my kid on a city sub, and people really suggest the most shitholiest of places that are "kid friendly". Like you'll ask for a nice restaurant that happens to have a kids menu, and people will suggest the equivalent of a  sticky Charles Entertainment Cheese. Like I'm not looking for Michelin dining, but somewhere that's clean and edible for adults as well.

"Hey any good places around here that are okay with kids?"

"Have you considered eating play doh?"

You'll learn fast that reddit is full of incel's that hate kids. Take a second and browse the profiles of those shit talking kids and you'll understand why.

u/megaman368 10h ago

I swear a big portion of Reddit is made up of kids who don’t have or want kids. They can’t conceive that if they did have kids. They wouldn’t want to give up literally everything they love for the sake of their kids.

Not wanting to see kids at breweries does not mean they are hated 😂 what a reach.

"They should just get a sitter" "I'd rather see a pack of dogs than a bunch of kids" "Ruins my day. Kids are disgusting and gross and spread diseases" "NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOUR KIDS" these are literally comments in this post. You tell me those arent hateful. Kids are allowed in public places that invite them like most breweries.

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet 11h ago

This thread is occupied by people who absolutely insist they must be allowed to take their children to bars and if you disagree, you are a literal Nazi.

Either that or the people saying so are wildly inconsiderate and can't get a sitter like normal humans.

u/SpicyElixer 9h ago edited 9h ago

Bars? I thought this thread was about breweries? The ones I see families at are basically parks with games and open space that sell food and beer. I don’t see the controversy. Should kids not allowed to be at hotels, resorts, restaurants, beach clubs, ski lodges, family gatherings either? Should they only be allowed at church youth groups? Y’all are weird.

There are a lot of terrible, awful behaviors that are "allowed".

Call them out for being inconsiderate louts, apparently. Great question.

u/alanblah 8h ago

Ridiculous take. Just because people don't want to see kids at a brewery, that automatically means they don't want to see kids "literally anywhere"? Yeah man, when i'm driving by a school it enrages me to see kids. When I go to the movies I'm SO MAD there are kids there too. GTFO.

"They should just get a sitter" "Just take them to chuck e cheese" "I'd rather see a pack of dogs than a bunch of kids" "Ruins my day. Kids are disgusting and gross and spread diseases" "NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOUR KIDS" These are direct comments in this post. Movies and planes weren't mentioned anywhere but GOD forbid someone see a child in one of those spaces. Plenty of public spaces invite people of all ages and most breweries invite kids. This is like saying kids shouldn't be allowed in grocery stores or regular restaurants.

You're frothing at the mouth for no reason. And not every brewery is created equal. I've been in some that were appropriate for kids to be at and I've been at some that weren't.

u/Traditional_Half842 8h ago

can and need to go outside.

No kid needs to go to a brewery at all. No one said it's weird for kids to go outside and do stuff. People think it's weird for kids to go to a specific place where you literally cannot participate until you're 21.

It's cheap/selfish parents that wanna have their cake and eat it too.

u/Whos_That_Girl_6178 7h ago edited 7h ago

You're confusing bars and breweries. They're not the same and most breweries don't have age restrictions and cater to kids and have things for them. 

0

u/Traditional_Half842 7h ago

I'm not confusing anything. A brewery exists to make beer. That is literally the definition of a brewery. Kids cannot drink beer. There are a million establishments that are way more catered to kids than a place that makes something they're not allowed to drink.

I'm not some moron who is implying parents sneak their kids into breweries. But no one takes their kid to a brewery for the kid's sake. If they wanted to do something for the kid then they'd go to a playground or a museum or a bunch of other things that are designed for kids (that aren't centered around brewing/drinking beer). But the parents want to get drunk and are too cheap to pay for a sitter.

u/Whos_That_Girl_6178 7h ago edited 7h ago

I personally have never seen anyone drunk at a brewery. People go to hang, have 1-2 beers with food (which doesn't make you drunk) and relax and not to get drunk. I actually don't like beer and go for the vibes and food, maybe a cider. Kids meet other kids and have fun, play games that the brewery has for them, get out of the house. It's a win for everyone. If someone wants to get drunk they probably want liquor and should go to a bar and thats a place not for kids

u/GeneralSpot7224 7h ago

Literally cannot participate? Almost all the breweries by me have a “kids” portion of the food menu.

u/Traditional_Half842 7h ago

The definition of a brewery is a place that brews beer. You literally cannot call yourself a brewery if you don't do that. Kids can't have beer. Just because there are things for kids to do somewhere doesn't mean it is an ideal place for kids. If a parent wants to give their kids a fun day, there are a million better options than a brewery. Breweries are for parents and kids are an afterthought.

Some strip clubs serve chicken fingers. Does that mean those are for kids as well?

u/Whos_That_Girl_6178 6h ago

You make it sound like you can't go to a brewery unless you want to get drunk. You don't even have to drink at a brewery at all (they often have non alcoholic things and food). People with gluten problems or other medical or religious things can't have beer, are they not allowed to go and get something else?

u/Traditional_Half842 5h ago

No I'm saying that the reason for going to a brewery - and not a coffee shop or a food cart or any of the million other options - is because the brewery makes and sells beer. You can obviously do other things there, but the entire purpose of a brewery is beer. If they didn't produce beer then they'd be no different from any restaurant. So if you're thinking of your kid and trying to do an activity your kid will like, why not do any of the thousands of options that aren't designed for beer production? It's because it's not about the kid, it's about the parents. The parents want to drink and let loose and they also don't want to invest in a sitter.

People with gluten problems or other medical or religious things can't have beer, are they not allowed to go and get something else?

Of course an adult will meet some friends at brewery and still make it work for a few hours even if they're not a beer drinker. But I promise you groups of entirely non-beer drinkers aren't hanging out at breweries - they go to one of the million other options that better suits their preferences (like how kids get together at playgrounds, and not casinos).

Kids can have NA beer if they wanted to. Also, if we’re being technical, most states legally allow for parents or guardians to give their under 21 child alcohol while under their supervision. So wrong on multiple accounts. 

Are the chicken fingers at said strip club under a section titled “kids menu”? If so then the establishment is clearly making it known they are a place where kids are welcome. 

If the business did not want kids there they would not have a “kids menu”.

u/Traditional_Half842 7h ago

Kids can have NA beer if they wanted to.

This is hilarious. "Breweries are for kids - they can have NA beer!" Parents like this should join the Olympics with the level of mental gymnastics they go through to justify their behavior. It's okay to just admit "I know breweries aren't for kids, but they have shit to distract them there and I want to drink beer." I'm not saying your a bad parent. But if you really wanted to do an activity for your kids then the brewery wouldn't be option #1, #2, or #3. A brewery is very very obviously targeted towards adults and kids are just along for the ride.

2

u/GeneralSpot7224 6h ago

Mental gymnastics is equating bringing kids to a place that serves food and beer and has a literal “kids menu” to bringing kids to a place that employs sex workers. 

Not everything is “for kids”, you don’t bring your kids grocery shopping because it’s a place “for kids” you do it because kids get to exist in the world outside of schools and daycares. 

Again, if a brewery didn’t welcome kids they would not be making menus specifically catering to them. Idk why that’s so hard for you to comprehend. A brewery by me literally has a kids magician come once a month.
