this article; guess this is on everyone's mind lately, now that it's the summer.
I've taken my daughter to bars and breweries before; I think the first "restaurant" she ever went to was Toronado. When she was an infant she kept quiet and didn't take up space, and I always asked ahead of time so as not to offend anybody there. But now that she's 18 months old and heading into her curious "what happens if I run around and punch this random person in the dick" stage, she's not touching a tasting room, bar, or brewery until she gets a little older.
Moving forward, I'm not intending on taking kids anywhere that isn't truly kid-friendly. Just because a tasting room/bar/restaurant has high chairs to use doesn't make it kid-friendly, especially if the quarters are crowded, dimly lit, and full of surly ********.
