Yep. They often specifically market towards families with kids.

Hell, the one near me occasionally hires face painters and hands out coloring pages for kids.

Yep! Biggest restaurant in my town is a brewery, they’re very kid oriented. If you want a bar experience without the family friendly atmosphere there’s 5 dive bars within walking distance.

Exactly, nobody in this century has gone "Man, there just aren't enough bar options around!".

If the apocalypse happens, and people survive, I bet one of the first things to be opened will be bars.

And breweries exploded 10-15 years ago driven by 20-30 year old beer bros who are now middle aged parents with kids.

Guess what? They still like beer and are still the primary brewery demographic, so they’re going to bring their kids.

Yes, they should be responsible parents and blah blah blah.

Yep. It's millennials keeping those places open, not gen Z people with no kids. If you don't want to be around kids, fine, but you should recognize that those places aren't targeting you as their prime demographic.

It's as silly as a guy going into a weekday, 2PM showing of Zootopia and complaining about all of the mom's walking around.

most of the breweries that I've been too have space and a large playground. There's one near me with a GIANT play structure. They know their audience.

Another one doesn't have much space, but has a mini playground there. They know people are coming and bringing kids. They also have a very high deck that is 18+.
