There are countless ways to teach your children about diversity and expose them to civilized society outside of a BAR. When you have kids you're signing off on your ability to get dinner and a drink anywhere, anytime; isn't that what some people consider as one of the downsides of having children, the changes to your everyday life?

Just because you live in the city doesn't mean your kids in a bar -- how quaint and quirky city life is! -- is as charming to other patrons as you think it is. I'd find it inhibiting if I were engaging in a crass conversation with some friends, even at brunch, with a 5 year old in the chair next to me.
