Bar / Restaurant kicked us out of our friends birthday party for having a 'minor' (4 month old baby) and told us to call child services. Just need to vent.

I honestly don't know why I'm posting this other than to vent to some parents. I'm sure some of you may disagree, but here's what happened.We were invited to a friends birthday party at Mr. Furleys. It's a place we haven't been before and a lot of places in our area are restaurants, child friendly. We're new parents, and getting out is HARD. So we wanted to stop in right at the beginning of the party, 6pm before any amount of regular patrons showed up. Perfects, it's a huge open patio, nowhere near a bar and it's empty. We were there for maybe 30 mins when the bouncer came over with what I can only describe as the biggest face of shame.​"I'm sorry I need to ask you to leave because the owner doesn't want a minor in the bar".​At first we thought he was joking, this is in Studio City, CA and there's tons of spots on Ventura Blvd that have a bar and also serve food that families we know frequent. We're planning on leaving soon anyway so I'm super polite with the bouncer who was such a nice guy when we entered, and asked if he could follow up with the owner as we're just here for the birthday party and leaving soon. He comes back and is like "He says he doesn't want to lose his liquor license and that we have to leave."So at this point the party is now all about this situation, which sucks because it was supposed to be about the birthday party. We took 2 mins to look up the CA law which stated that any licensed bar that also serves multiple meal types is a bona fide eatery. And minors are allowed at those.But hey this is his bar, so we're not going to argue. So I go to close out and the owner doubles down on how it's illegal. I try to explain that it's not in CA and not only are we not here to drink, we're just here for our friends party on the patio. He immediately says that we're not fit to be parents and who would bring a baby to a bar, and then charges us for everything we ordered even though it's obviously unfinished as we're leaving.​I try to stay to calm, but turn to the other people at the bar, and I'm like do you really want to support a business like this? We're just here on the patio mid day to say hi to our friends. Not to be judged by some clearly single owner who believes he's an authority on kids.I dunno, so we left an honest review of what happened on yelp, and the guy just has been going mental on how we're bad parents. It hurts. Part of his response, Who says stuff like this to a parent!?"Here is the child services hotline if your family needs help. (800) 540-4000. We respect and appreciate all of our customers however sometimes we need to help you make better decisions in life"It's already hard enough with a teething new born, it's an evening that was supposed to be pleasant and just went wrong.Anyways thanks for listening, I just needed to vent this.​ via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Pa0Bxi
