I like kids too! But! There is a time and place for just ADULTS. I do not think a "Sports Bar", Any resturant on Sports night, Resturants after 9:00 PM, PG-13 plus movies and Second seating shows are places we should allow our childern to attend or to "Express themselves". Just last night my wife and I were out for her birthday. and a 20 something was parading around the resturant with a crying baby, acting like "Here am, Yes I'm a mother, look at me!" When I was growing up here in PA. I don't think you were allowed in a bar, or place that served alchol, with your parents until you were over 14 years old.
If you feel you need to take your kids out for dinner go to Burger King, Mac Donalds, Chuky Cheese or any of the many places that cater to children. Leave the adult places to us adults. You young parents will be in our shoes soon and will appreciate a quiet dinner out. Your childern will get there too, in time.
