[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We love the Round Robin at the Willard, but I don't think it is kid friendly. Then again, what bar is kid friendly?

I think you could go here.  We were just there and it really is lovely.  There's a few tables closer to the promenade that I think would be fine for a family and not so in the mix of a bar.  [/quote]

In past years they've done lobby events during the holidays with food and drinks that were definitely kid friendly -- we took our 1 yr old a few years back to meet up with friends and sat in the actual lobby (not the bar) and had cocktails while the kids ate snacks and looked at the holiday decorations. There was some live music, I can't remember if it was carolers or a quartet or both, it's been a while. So I think this could be an option.

The key here is "hotel lobby bar" which is a little different than a regular bar in most cases, if it's open to the rest of the lobby. That's usually a little more casual and transient than a regular bar and it wouldn't be weird to have kids with you. Sometimes it's like restaurant/bar and there are plenty of families because it's a place to grab food while waiting for your room to be ready or something.

OP, we've also taken our young kid to the Conrad in City Center (near Chinatown) and it's been kid friendly. The bar itself is not the most charming thing ever though there are big windows that look out on NY Ave and when holiday decorations are up it can be a nice view. They also have an outdoor area that is great if open, though. Plus the decorations at City Center are really charming and it's nice to walk through their with kids -- the string up lights and decorations between the buildings and the high end stores there have great window displays.[/quote]
