It's very inappropriate. |
My dog can’t be left at home for the entire day so we bring him to places that are dog friendly whenever we can. Public spaces do not exist to conform to your specific preferences. I will continue to bring my dog because we don’t bother anyone else and we are allowed to by the establishment. You will have to cope. |
Then don’t do it. Why do you feel the need to preach to the rest of us? Just mind your own business. |
So get a dog walker? |

If you don't want kids at your brewery - stay away from Loudoun County.
It's basically daycare with some bad brews. |
| I’ve yet to see a child at the Ivy City location of Atlas if you are willing to come into the city. |

We go to breweries all the time and virtually all of the breweries with outdoor space WANT kids and dogs - it makes their breweries profitable and able to actually STAY in business. The Star Hill breweries Perch on top of the Captial One building is a great example. They play kids movies on the big theatre screen on Sundays (or at least they were over the summer) and there is a Mini- Golf (putt putt) course, and a dedicated dog play/poop area.
BUT the majority of the parents with kids and dogs are usually only there during the day, and after 6pm the number left is certainly not killing anyone's vibe the way OP describes. Basically, if you want to do your day drinking with no kids around, then you need to stay away from all breweries with outdoor spaces. I've never seen a kid's party held at a brewery, and I suspect someone is making that up to stir the pot. |
This is also the trend at many wineries. If you aren't married with kids you won't get it. |
OP back. I understand it doesn’t kill everybody’s vibe, but it is not the right vibe for our group. People like different things. I also commented up thread that I like kids but for our adult only group, we are looking for a kid free brewery. |
Sounds like you just need to go to a bar or a brewery in the city/downtown area. The places with outdoor areas will often have families there. |
Op back. I think you are right. More bars, less breweries. |
Yes, I know. But there is just one type of soda and no other non alcoholic beverages available which signals that kids are not welcome there! |
| I always see very young children at these breweries. Where do their parents go out once their kids become tweens or late elementary age? |
Then I will bring my kids because “public spaces do not exist to conform to your specific preferences.” You and your dog will just have to cope. |
Umm no. No we’re not. |
