God NO!
Have Parents no common sense? A bar is not somewhere to take a child. Nor is a $200 a Plate Resturant, nor a movie rated higher than 'G' past 8pm, nor a boardroom meeting.
I know its really hard to believe in an age where the "Village" is put upon to raise the Village Idiot's child, but the vast majority of us Urban Single Types are not amused by your crying, snot covered Vagina Fruit. In fact, I dare say most of us are rather quite annoyed by It by the second beer of the night.
Bars are one of the last refuge from the Cult of the Child. A place where Adults can Act like and Do Adult Things without having to glance over both shoulders for Kiddie Ears before comparing President Bush to a Genital Abnormality.
