bars are for adults. sunday brunch in a bar? debatable. but a bar, any time after 4pm in a bar-tavern-pub-watering-hole-place-where-people-unwind-with-hard-alcohol ... that is not for kids.

So you wouldn't appreciate me putting my son in a booster seat at the bar stool next to you?
J/K... I would never do that.
I admittedly have a low tolerance for unruly/loud children anywhere out in public. That's why, no matter where I am, I try to bolt if our son even so much as lets out a little whine.
I actually never considered that someone might find it strange to bring a small child to brunch at Sidecar...at least let us have brunch!
I ate at Monks with our son, a friend and her son once. It was lunch on a weekday...they were't crowded. They weren't really set up for two children (we had to share one high chair) but seemed totally ok with their presence.
I guess my point is that with a little discretion and good judgment, there's no reason kids cannot dine at a bar/food place. And if I cared about people cursing or saying "off color" things in front of my son once in a while we never would have moved to the city. I guess that could change as he gets older, but I kind of doubt it.
