Can you cross-stitch these rules on some fabric and frame it so I can purchase it from you at the Brooklyn Flea and hang it in all of the bars around my home? Thanks.

Hilarious! I can’t believe you only got one person giving you a hard time. The worst thing I ever saw was a parent changing her kid’s diaper at the dinner table (in the stroller, but whatever) at Marion’s on the Bowery. I nearly fell off my chair.

If the four eyed, ugly, facially hairy, bald, sneezing, coughing people were over 21, I wouldn’t have a problem with them.

Sorry for the indefinite pronouns. I mean parents should be considerate. Other patrons should be drinking.

As a guy who brings his kid to bars, I say: Amen to these rules. Parents need to realize that to bring their kid to a bar is to ask everyone else there to make an exception. In return for this kindness, they should be considerate. It’s what keeps it all turning.

PS. There is nothing I like more than a bar with dogs in it.

while your at it, you should invent more bullshit exclusive rules for your utopian bar universe like. No people with glasses. No ugly people. No people that don’t have facial hair. No bald people. No sneezing. No coughing.

My dogs are my kids, but even I don’t want to sit in a bar watching them….because they won’t sit still. I’d prefer to leave them home unless it’s strictly a “dog bar”, not just a bar that allows dogs.

There are places for kids and dogs. They’re called parks, not bars. But of course I love playing with other people’s dogs in public places! Kids…nah.

Dogs, sure. Kids, no thank you.

If children stare at me, I just stare back…they’ll give in eventually and never ever, ever look at you again…trust me.

I’m with you. I have kids (now grown)and I would never have brought them to a bar. I would love it if I could bring my dogs more places.

Here in Philly we do have at least one bar (The Abbaye) that allows dogs 🙂
