Who would willingly take a child to such a place? Why would anyone willingly take a child to a bar? I might understand the bar section of Applebee's, but, not a stand alone bar.

You have to be eighteen to get in a bar here. Hardly ever an issue, though, because no one brings their children to the bar.

Bite the responsibility bullet, and go to Chuck E. Cheese instead.

I want to be charitable towards the moms, but I'm finding it hard to come up with anything redeeming about this situation. everyone else said it

I don't know. Some couple brought their INFANT baby to see Insidious Ch. 3 today, early showing. The baby behaved better than the whispering couple who seemed to use a lot of words containing the 'ssssss' sound, during their very important discourse. They did stfu after I asked them, nicely, to quit talking.

Really, an infant.

The 3rd installment of this series was good. The first two were so-so. Great jump scares and a decent couple of backstories. It even played on my heartstrings a little.

I swear I replied again to this thread ten mins ago but.....

At least bars aren't smoky anymore. Well not here, any way. Are they still in other places?


And then it occurred to me that when anon said "at least one mom was drinking alcohol", maybe he meant that as a redeeming factor rather than a criticism?

Not sure that is a fair comparison. At a bar you can't control what everyone around you is talking about, pawing each other, slurring and staggering, saying inappropriate things and so on. I don't think it's great for kids to be around drunks either at home or abroad. But if the back proch is anything like a dive bar then CPS should probably pay a visit.

I was addressing the fact that one of them was drinking alcohol is neither unusual and likely irrelevant. You are translating drinking alcohol into drunk, which is not a given. You are also throwing in pawing, slurring, and staggering at 7 to 8 PM, which is not a given either. While I think the kids shouldn't be there, everyone seems to be projecting the worst dive bar scenario they can think of.

You mean like since there was bluegrass music, there must've been banjos?

Not at all, not that banjos is a bad thing.
