It really depends on the bar. When I had little ones, there were bars I would not take them to (too fancy OR too divey), and bars that were more family-type bars (had a game room with games suitable for kids and lots of families there). It's not one of those black and white questions. (Very irritating, I know, for people who want to live in a black and white world!)
NOT Chili's Bar & Grill or Applebee's or Champions Sports Bar at the Hilton or a shopping mall bar like Chelsea Street Pub.
An actual bar/bar where loud/live music is played and people are drinking and using foul language.
The kind of place that doesn't open until 4 pm and stays open til 2 am.

Well you haven't gotten a resounding "you are correct sir!"
So what's you gripe?
Please name the bars and your major issue with the children and parents.
I'm a parent, and I wouldn't want to see kids in bars during night-time hours. I really don't of many true BARS (vs. restaurants that serve alchohol) that would allow kids. I'm kind of old school in that there's a time and place for kids and there should be some places that are adults only. A place where there is drinking and potential foul language isn't appropriate for my kids.
No kids, toddlers or babies belong in a bar. If its imperative the parent needs to go to a bar, then he or she needs to drop their offspring off at a baby sitter. Why take you're kid to a bar? What are they suppose to do there? Watch mama and/or daddy and everybody else get drunk and act stupid and be promiscuous so they grow up thinking thats a normal lifestyle? I wonder what CPS would have to say about it.
Back in the 90's I went to a bar where one of the employees would bring his 10 year old son to sit at the bar while his dad worked. The kid never looked happy about being there and I always felt sorry for him and I thought dad was about a self centered person as a person can be. It would have been so easy for a customer to slip that boy a drink or a shot of a candy flavored drink, like peppermint schnapps.
It just didnt seem like the best kind of environment for an impressionable young person to be in. Seems real dysfunctional and messed
up. Not a good road to put your kid on. If thats the road he wants to go down, let him find that road on his own after he becomes a legal age.
