I’m with the wine bar on this. or I would have been with the wine bar if the chef/owner hadn’t ‘babied’ out and stated that children of all ages were welcome. C’mon buddy, man up. This is a bar that you run.
Certainly plenty of licensed establishments prohibit entry to all under age of legal consumption.
Looking at the comments at the link, I see a claim that ‘most 3 month olds sleep all night’. Spoken like a person who has not been around a 3 month old for more than one night.
Also claimed was that if breast-feeding were to have to occur, no one would notice. We’ve seen how true that is.
I am in my fifties. If I go somewhere infants should be expected, I have to deal with infants. When I go to a bar, I expect to have to deal with adults.
It’s a wine bar. I’m sure the 3month old baby is under the legal age for alcohol consumption. Why would they bring a baby to a bar?
