How do you feel about bringing babies into bars? Would you do it? 

 I think this is a very interesting article, and is something I have thought about many times. My husband and I have acquired a great appreciation for beer over the years, and enjoy visiting breweries. Often times our daughter is along with us for the experience. I would never sit her at the bar, we usually find a table where it's a bit quieter. I'm not sure it will be as easy/appropriate once she gets a little older... I can't imagine bringing her when she's walking around and more active, unless it is also a restaurant and we are there for a meal as well.

    I read this as well, luckily in our area there are a few "family" friendly pubs that we go to with our son, but we aren't there at 9 at night.

    I think if you go in the afternoon/evening it's one thing, but going at night is another.

    I still don't see us taking our baby to a bar at all seeing as we don't ever go now (or before I got pregnant) so it's not like something we would be missing.

    My husband is a big advocate for bringing babies into bars! I have no issue with it for the most part as long as it is during the day & you are not going out on the town & hauling your little one with you. Sometimes I think people get a little too uptight about stuff like this.

    My husband grew up in a large Irish family & he says that he recalls many times where him & his siblings were hanging out playing pinball while his dad was having a few beers with his buddies. I think as long as you can stay responsible & are popping in for a quick drink not an all night party, it is ok. I also think though that if the kid is mobile (non-infant) you should try to choose a place that has some form of entertainment for the kid (such as video games, music, etc).

    I think it depends on the time of day and the type of bar.  I don't know that I would take my baby into a high class martini bar.  I'm not sure that I would take my baby into a capacity crowd while everyone around is drinking heavily on a Saturday night either. 

    I would not have a problem taking my child to a pub or a brewery or a nice restaurant bar in the afternoon or evening.

    I think it depends onthe bar. If its more like a pub that has tables to eat food, then I;m fine with it but if its a glorified bar with only high bar tables then not so much and def only during the day- if you really want to go that route. Personally I don't think children belong at bars and people need to realize that after you have a child that some things do change.
