[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a kid is sitting at the bar, then they are taking space away from a paying customer.  It's shitty of you, even if not illegal.[/quote]

They can still be paying customers by ordering food.  I’ve taken kids to numerous restaurants that do happy at the bar only.  I’ve also done it myself and there are times I am not drinking.  Would you consider me not a paying customer when I am ordering dinner?[/quote]

Why don't you understand that a child sitting at the bar has a chilling effect on other customers?[/quote]

Well, that’s different than whether they are, themselves, paying customers, which is what i was responding to.

But, since you ask, that’s ridiculous if you feel that way and it is on you, not my family.  It should only have a chilling effect on you if you are planning on getting sloppy drunk, profane, or abusive.

And to be clear, by profane I mean truly inappropriate language to me, other customers or staff.  I am not going to try to impose the language police for normal adult language simply because I brought my kids to a bar.  If I want to be there, I recognize that I will have to accept language that I generally would prefer my kids not to hear.  And if you want to be there, you may have to put up with someone who you apparently would not want to sit next to or near.[/quote]
