Incredible, he's the same type of person who will take his kids to a brewery and ruin other people's good times with his kids screaming and running around.
TheReverend5@reddit
I agree that OOP is absurd, but this take about kids at breweries is increasingly hilarious and out of touch. Half the customers for breweries nowadays are millennial families with kids…you know, the demographic that heavily contributed to craft beer expansion in the US. Idk why people don’t understand this.
notamyokay@reddit
I find it really strange to see children in a place that is 51%+ alcohol sales. You never know what will happen at a bar where the main purpose is to drink alcohol--- children shouldn't be in those situations.
TheReverend5@reddit
Clearly, both the breweries and the families both disagree with your perspective here. I guess most people have just figured out how to enjoy food and drink safely and enjoyably with their families.
notamyokay@reddit
It is an opinion just like yours. You aren't right. I'm not right. It is just how someone personally feels about it. And that's okay.
TheReverend5@reddit
Well, the practical reality only aligns with one of our opinions, that much is for sure.
notamyokay@reddit
I assure you that a lot of people see children in a bar and think it is foul. There are plenty of states that do not allow children in bars ever, with or without a parent. So I don't think you can factually claim that. But whatever
pumpkin_lord@reddit
We're talking about breweries not bars. It's not the same thing.
notamyokay@reddit
I was speaking on anything with over 51% alcohol sales, which would technically, be a bar.
TheReverend5@reddit
I’ve never been in a state that blanket prohibited kids from breweries.
Again, regarding the practical reality that we live in: which breweries in DFW prohibit families from bringing children? That’s the only practical metric relevant here.
viagra___girls@reddit
It’s okay to just have an opinion without needing to be right.
ImTheOxyMoron@reddit
Okay then go to the brewery and leave your kids at home or with a babysitter. Kids can't drink craft beer.
TheReverend5@reddit
Yeah, this is what you and the folks who complain about it don’t get.
I don’t have to do that and I’m not going to do that. The overwhelming majority of breweries allow families with children, and many in DFW even encourage it with dedicated play areas for kids. This is because breweries cannot afford to lose millennial families as customers.
So you can kick and scream on Reddit all you want, but it’s not going to change the reality of the craft brewery customer base in 2026.
DontTrip333@reddit
Drink, load up the kids, drive home. We might be able to skip a generation of stupid this way.
TheReverend5@reddit
I am absolutely shocked how many people here have apparently never heard of the concept of a designated driver.
pumpkin_lord@reddit
Or walking. I regularly walk to the brewery. There are about 5 or 6 in walking distance of my house
Suitable-Eagle-8256@reddit
Telling on themselves
frotc914@reddit
This is a really strange argument because it basically presumes that everyone is driving home drunk from the brewery, but it's only objectionable if you have kids.
insta-kip@reddit
It is kind of worse if you have your kids in the car.
frotc914@reddit
In the same way that driving blackout drunk is "worse" than driving extremely drunk, yeah sure I guess it is.
Onuus@reddit
Go drive your family home buzzed. Sounds like a great recipe for being a responsible parent lmao
TheReverend5@reddit
You’ve never heard of a DD? That’s crazy, try googling the term “designated driver.”
LengthinessTrick382@reddit
Why did you get downvoted to Hell for this? And when you posted it again you got upvoted 😂
TheReverend5@reddit
I don’t think there’s a lot of critical thinking going on in this thread 😅
arrowgold@reddit
Yes! Also a millennial parent. If you want a kid-free environment go to a bar. Many serve beers from local breweries.
So many breweries cater to millennial families. Many have toys, and board games and nice changing tables in the bathrooms.
frenchezz@reddit
Kids can't drive either, does that mean they can't be in cars?
ImTheOxyMoron@reddit
An individual's car is not a shared space with the general public. Dumb argument.
frenchezz@reddit
Ever heard of a bus? lol
ImTheOxyMoron@reddit
Do busses serve alcohol? lmfao.
Durian__Gray@reddit
Restaurants serve alcohol. Are kids not allowed at restaurants?
ImTheOxyMoron@reddit
A restaurant's main purpose is serving food, not alcohol. Most breweries are strictly craft beer. Why do you want to bring you child to a place that only serves beer?
frenchezz@reddit
They don't only serve beer, hence the childrens play spaces, hence the menus (including kids menus more often than not), hence the live music. Nothing's stopping you from enjoying your craft beer from the comfort of your home without any children around.
ImTheOxyMoron@reddit
Come on man, take a look at the upvotes on the thread. you are in the minority when it comes to this and that is okay. No need to get all defensive. Nothing's stopping you from staying at home and getting drunk in front of your children in private.
TheReverend5@reddit
Complaining redditors are not the majority. I hope you don’t truly think meaningless Reddit upvotes and downvotes are a good way to validate your worldview.
If the majority of brewery customers actually agreed with you, most breweries would prohibit children. How many breweries in DFW prohibit kids?
frenchezz@reddit
None.
Follow up question, how many bars serve local beers and prohibit children from entering? Most if not all!
frenchezz@reddit
Brother by that logic Donald Trump is a good president, look at all the votes he got...
frenchezz@reddit
And there go the goalposts getting moved back.
ImTheOxyMoron@reddit
Are you referring to your own dumb counterpoints? The whole discussion here is bringing children to breweries, places that sell craft beer and craft beer only.
ModRod@reddit
You realize most of these breweries also serve food and have kids menus, right?
frenchezz@reddit
My counterpoint is 'dumb' because it points out how stupid your argument is. Children can't drink = they shouldn't be at a brewery, so let me create a similarly stupid argument.
Theres tons of other reasons to be at a brewery, food, the playgrounds the breweries provide, live music, and any one of 10000 different local groups using the space to raise awareness.
Theres tons of other reasons to use a bus that don't include driving it...
Stay salty and drink at home if you can't stand having happy people around you.
pmmeurbassethound@reddit
People who can't wait to turn their children into drinking buddies. Raising future al anon members. Ask me how I know.
Terrible_Law6091@reddit
The kids, by themselves, aren't the problem.
It's the shithead parents that allow them to run around and disturb other patrons.
TheReverend5@reddit
Which, as stated elsewhere in this thread, is not a new problem nor is not a problem that is unique to breweries.
Terrible_Law6091@reddit
Thank you, that was super helpful to my understanding!
SipoteQuixote@reddit
Yea, if I want to get inebriated and drive my family home impaired, that's my business!
TheReverend5@reddit
Yea this same comment has been made elsewhere. Truly crazy to me that folks like you have never heard of designated drivers. Are you under the impression that everyone person driving out of a brewery parking lot is drunk?
insta-kip@reddit
I’ve heard of them. Never seen them, but definitely heard of them.
SipoteQuixote@reddit
Apparently youre under the impression everyone has a DD to drive em. You might have a DD, that angry asshole who had too much, probably not.
TheReverend5@reddit
Okay? What the fuck are you talking about dude? My wife and I are the ones driving around our family, and we know how to be responsible adults. The angry asshole who had too much is not driving my family??
Nanarchist329@reddit
I don't think the problem is the kids being there. It's the parents letting their kids do whatever the eff while they focus on their own good time. I don't mind kids being pretty much anywhere, but parents will straight up ignore their kids in public and allow them to be everyone else's problem. THAT'S the issue.
TheReverend5@reddit
Yeah, agreed. That’s also not a new phenomenon at all, nor is it a phenomenon that is limited to breweries.
frenchezz@reddit
But it's so much easier to just lump all famillies in together than point out the problematic ones /s
joewHEElAr@reddit
That’s literally what he said. The bad ones. Too difficult to read whilst being edgy?
Sexweed42069@reddit
so the parents' choices are the problem
and part of that choice is having kids in the first place
9bikes@reddit
>I don't think the problem is the kids... It's the parents
That is the issue everywhere. Some kids are fine even at a library or a fancy restaurant. Others are too loud, rambunctious and rude to take to the zoo. It is always the parents' responsibility to constantly monitor their children and take them outside when their behavior is inconsiderate toward others.
iwillsumday@reddit
Witnessed this yesterday at the NTTA customer service office on Plano Pkwy. This lady was letting her kid (who was like 4) just wander around. The kid was was touching other people’s legs while they stood at the counter and at one point she walked to the front door and opened it and stepped out. She was just standing there holding the door open, and an employee came by and told her to go back to her mother, and the little girl swung her tiny backpack at the employee, hitting her hands. Then she walked up to her mom’s legs and started hitting her with the backpack.
I’m not saying her mom should’ve smacked her, but I would’ve been smacked before I did even half of that.

GeekyTexan@reddit
I used to have a part time job at a bar, and would come home very late. I found a setting for my car so that it did not make noise when I locked or unlocked the car, just so I wouldn't bother anyone.

Nice_Category@reddit
A friend of mine had a roommate complain about the clicking noises his mouse made while he was in another room across the hall with the door shut.
I don't know if he slept with his ear against the door or if he was just looking for a fight, but at that point you need to get a white noise machine.
Snobolski@reddit
We had a colleague who hated anyone's computer beeping. Like how some programs make a sound when "search" turns up nothing. Or the racket my IBM Model M keyboard made. Suck it, Jennifer.
jwdge@reddit
My downstairs neighbor complained about my vibrating alarm sitting on a dresser. The floor is carpeted. And the alarm was on vibrate bc she already complained about the sound.
Nice_Category@reddit
A nice detached single-family house might be the best alternative for her. If she doesn't want to bear the cost of that, then she needs to compromise.

If you don't teach your kids to tolerate mild noises while they're sleeping, they'll become kids who can't sleep unless it's perfect.
East_Director_4635@reddit
It’s wild how total strangers make their “problems” everyone else’s problem. That main character syndrome is so real. Get your kids a white noise machine, ear plugs, or move out of a city where you cannot reasonably think you can ask for quiet time at 8pm. 🤣
A few years ago, I had an issue with my neighbor continuously leaving notes in my mailbox berating me about the headlights of my car disturbing their baby when I return home late at night. They would judge and berate why I’m even coming home so late (GM of a bar and music venue) and their request was that when I’m driving in the pitch black down our street to turn my headlights off. I’m like…get a blackout curtain or idk, close the blinds? The crap people truly believe is OTHER people’s responsibility to cater to them for is bonkers.
Currently dealing with a neighbor in an apartment complex now who continuously calls the police when I shower because my shower pipes make noise that she finds intolerable.
shittyhawaiitips@reddit
fwiw most newer cars do have the ability to turn the beeps off and just flash the lights. might wanna look into it before dennis calls the cops on you.
trying_to_adult_here@reddit
Yeah, whoever wrote the original post is unhinged, but I do think it’s unnecessary to have the horn sound when you lock the car if you’re able to select a light flash or just an electronic tone from a speaker. I turned off the locking horn beeps the first week I owned mine so it’s just a “ding ding” when I lock it now.
Occasionally as I’m walking through a parking lot somebody locks their car so it beeps right when I’m in front of it. It always startles me. But I know the owner just didn’t see me there as they were walking away.
First-Dog3653@reddit
What are the cops gonna do ?☠️just wasting resources atp
shittyhawaiitips@reddit
dpd would only come out to give dennis a ticket for calling them multiple times over stupid shit like this.
Mental-Scientist-393@reddit
I had an apartment that didn't have air conditioning (not in Texas). You had to keep your windows open at all times. Cars parked on both sides and the beeps would wake up the baby. It sucked. We talked to the people who parked 4 feet from where the baby slept and they were cool about it. Would never happen in Texas where personal freedom means you never have to change your behavior for anyone.

Have a little bit of empathy folks. A Frazzled sleep deprived parent makes a plea to no one in particular. That's it. We're still locking our cars. She's still locking her car.

poop_pebbles@reddit

noble_land_mermaid@reddit
A) that guy's a joke - his problem would be easily solved with a white noise machine in the kids room
B) More cars need unique and/or customizable lock sounds. Rivian's lock sound is a bird chirping and Tesla lets you use your own sound file

External_Can_6883@reddit
That looks like the next door app and all people do on that app is complain about sht and fight with neighbors behind a phone screen. One time my neighbors dog accidentally got out of the fence and got hit by a car and died. It was a tiny little Chihuahua. And the next door btches went on there and said how bad of a dog mom she was and how a good dog mom wouldn’t let their dig even be able to get in that position. I have a big dog and he’s accidentally gotten out of the fence before. Some dogs will find a way. But imagine how much grieving that woman was doing over the loss of her little doggie just to be criticized by people that have no idea what she’s going through in life. I think those people and people asking ridiculous things like don’t lock your car after 8:30pm need to be banned. If the won’t do that, the neighborhood needs to ban together and go by that guys house and just keep unlocking and locking their cars over and over again. All night

Stop expecting that your home is a sensory depravation tank when you're kids are trying to sleep. Carry on with your normal life after laying them down or you'll find that they cannot spell through any noise at all.

DueBackground7945@reddit
also, if your neighbor is doing drugs in his own house, just leave him alone. If he’s tweaked out and scaring your fam that’s one thing, but if you just have suspicions that he might be doing drugs, don’t waste the police’s time and hassle that guy
Major_Frosting6133@reddit
This person complaining about locking “beep beep” noises is wild! The fact that he expects people to lock their cars before 8pm or to disconnect the sound it makes is insane! People come home at all hours (due to work or other personal business). If his kids sleep that lightly, that’s a HIM problem - not a problem for everyone else to worry about. The sound of a car locking and the alarms being set isn’t that loud. Maybe he should move somewhere else. 🤷🏼♀️
TexasMVFan@reddit
Where are you supposed to hide your drugs if you married. My wife doesn’t want them inside. Haha. People are ridiculous, get a house in the country if you don’t want neighbors. I would go inside and lock my doors with my remote every hour just to make sure it’s locked.
nomadschomad@reddit
Weird rant
But also… Why the heck does anybody leave horn/chirp confirmation setting on? Do you like hearing the horn honk? Do you like calling attention to yourself when you lock the car?
Just change the setting to flash the lights and let Apple/Google Maps remember where you parked
Broad_Mushroom_8033@reddit
Yes yes no
JPhi1618@reddit
First thing I do with a new car is figure out how to disable the stupid beep when you lock the doors. Unless you live far away from other people, you should disable that out of common courtesy. Your neighbors and their pets don’t need a little startle every time your car locks. On some cars it’s actually a pretty loud beep.
StormForeign@reddit
According to the address in the post, Dennis lives in a Ford Falcon. Either roll up the windows or maybe park somewhere far away from the parking lot?
Horror_Solution1945@reddit
Don't be a Dennis. The male Karen.
d00mz@reddit

JimothyClements@reddit
On one hand, I want to be understanding. I lived in a complex where someone would park directly outside my window nightly at 2am and "beep beep" 10-12 times. Maybe they were friends with the Midnight Caller, who'd have yelling matches on his car bluetooth with someone on many a night.
However, these seem like outliers- and if you are going to live in an urban or even suburban environment, the occasional car beep has got to become background noise or you're never gonna sleep for the rest of your life.

Original posters fault and problem. They tell you not to make your home overly quiet when a baby sleeps to prevent this. If a car alarm wakes their kid, what do they do when there is a storm?

First-Dog3653@reddit

BigRoach@reddit
Incidentally, my dad had a truck (‘01 Chevy) that honked for the lock/unlock and I always hated using it late at night because it could disturb people.
Another time we were camping in Yellowstone, so the campsites were very close, and I was very conscientious about the ‘beep’ when getting into my 4runner at 5am with lots of campers sleeping nearby.
