Ongoing Double WIndsor Awesomeness Thread

^I've lived in WT (no doubt about it) for 12 years, and the "old school" people in this area (mostly Irish cops and firefighter-type, middle class families) didn't bring their kids to bars.

However, I highly doubt a parent that would say "You're going to "have to" deal with it." is one of the responsible parents. Sounds like yet another entitled Park Slope parent that thinks little Billy could do whatever they want. A respectful person would never utter that sentence. Ever.

That said, I do not think a single two year old at a parent is a problem. More than one? Yes. Under two years old? Yes. But not a single two year old. Of course, if there is any crying, that person needs to leave ASAP. That goes for a 2 year old or a 42 year old.

Plus, anytime on a Saturday is peak time. Off peak is M-F before 5pm. 1pm on a Saturday is peak.

If you want to discuss this, great. But please stick to the fact.

The "deal with it" comment was directly following the "You live in a populated city" comment.

You have to "deal" with living in a populated city.

And again, please try not to include me in misinformed generalizations about parents.

10:45pm, totally packed, no seats. Boo.

you should have been there at 7:30 this evening , some mental midget was holding an infant ,while standing at the bar.

I just wanted to quote this quote to show that the quote wasn't the quote you quoted, but a quote you made up in your own 'quote' mind.

Here is part of an email I received from a friend while trying to schedule drinks:

I would steer clear of that new double windsor place. Guy had a baby strapped to his chest next to me, beer menu in his free hand.

No clue of what time of day he went.

I was heading in there one night a week or so ago and got about 5 feet in the door when I saw a toddler screaming his head off. Turned my ass right back around.

^wow. Hamilton actually made me laugh (first time ever) =D> =D> =D>

sorry, but that is such a turnoff..
i would not want to walk into that when in the mood for a drink

*********************************************
sounds like a yuppie terrorist

children or no children, isn't that the owners decision.

Can everyone just relax a little and try to enjoy themselves. There are so many more important issues to concern ourselves with.

So there are people in the bar you don't approve of. So what?! They suck, you're awesome. Congratulations.

If true , she has taken multitasking to a new level

BUT i have a toddler?

for the record, we try to tell all the parents upon entering that we have the same set of rules for adults as we do for kids: If they scream, poop, pee or puke- they gotta go.

so far, we've only had one customer do all 4 simultaneously. not to name any names but her name rhymes with plexi. /

You forgot crying. I cried, too.

MOD NOTE: Fixed quote.

I was at Double Windsor on Saturday early in the evening. Someone had brought a little kid who looked to be about two, who, while really well behaved for the most part, let out a few high pitched screeches.
The "no screaming" policy was not enforced while we were there, but we declined to have another round and went someplace else. We just thought - why put up with this annoyance when we don't have to ?
I thought bars are supposed to be 21 and over ?

Also, just wanted to add that I really like this place - really good beer on tap and nice atmosphere. The screaming children haven't been an issue for me on previous visits, and I will go back ( but I'll also leave early again if it gets annoying )
Peace, Double Windsor.
