breweries should not be family places for people to take their children. and I'm not one of those crazy /r/childfree weirdos

I'm not either (a childfree advocate). I raised several kids and just got "done" recently.

I'm just tired of kids in bars and breweries. I guess places with like DINNER are different, but bars and breweries. No.

EVEN IF they're not running around, they're STILL loud. They're STILL in the bathrooms. They're STILL holding up my service with "can I have 3 cokes?"

Not a huge fan of breweries myself, but I disagree with this. Breweries and beer gardens are perfectly fine places to foster “community”and connect with each other. And I think that’s something we need more of these days. Bars/pubs past a certain hour, maybe 8:00, that’s a different story. Otherwise, not really much different than a coffee shop. As with most things, I guess it’s a judgement call but if you’re gonna get uptight about parents bringing kids to a bar/restaurant/brewery just stay home.

100% agree, and I am a frequent brewery patron and not a parent. I think a big reason breweries have gotten so popular is that the vibe is different compared to a "bar" and I think people were looking for a community place where it is socially acceptable to have a drink mid-day, potentially with a kid or dog in tow (outside only for the dog though). This is way more common in Europe and it was really missing here until the breweries started opening.

Obviously it's not appropriate to bring kids to some super crowded rowdy brewery at 9pm but I don't have a problem at all with it on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. A lot of the breweries have games and stuff to keep kids occupied and a lot of them are very spacious and not very full midday.

Trillium specifically states only service dogs for some locations. That must mean its ok to bring a dog at other locations.

Puzzling how having a barking dog is ok, but quiet children are the end of the world.

Well. It looks like a restaraunt. So that means this isn't a brewery. It would be a brew pub...

What’s the difference between a brew pub and a bar? People think it’s ok to bring their kids to one of them

Semantics and OP trying to justify bringing their kids to one but not the other

Idk I've seen brewpub used for generic restaurants like "tavern" or "alehouse" or "pub"

Brew pub serves food and had a seperate seating area away from bar.

Kids don't belong in a bar. Brew pub is a restaraunt...
