OMG! Bar Bans Babies! OMG!

Apparently, it is still news when a Brooklyn bar bans babies. In this case, it’s the Double Windsor, which asks that after 5 p.m., everyone be above the legal drinking age (that’s 21, in case you’re wondering).

Quoth the New York Post:

Double Windsor co-owner and chef Paul Cacici said the bar, which opened in September, never started out with a baby policy. But a few parents took the bar’s previously free-wheeling attitude towards babies and children “too far.”

In one instance, an irked parent told a patron to stop cursing because of the presence of a child in the room, he recalled. In another case, a patron smoking a cigarette outside was chastised because smoke wafted into the bar, in the vicinity of junior’s lungs.

“When people go to a bar, they want to relax,” Cacici said. “They don’t want to worry about their language.”

And since we here at Dadwagon don’t want to worry about our language, we’ll give a big ol’ friendly FUCK YOU to the Post for its coverage of news that isn’t really news anymore. I mean, didn’t we settle this thing once and for all a couple weeks back?
