New Age Bar Go-ers

Iconoculture: Millennial and Gen X parents are changing child-rearing expectations to remain as close to pre-kid life as possible — so much so that meeting up with friends for drinks is low-key enough to bring the kids.
Not everyone thinks it’s so sweet, though. In Park Slope, Brooklyn, Union Hall bar posted a “Please, No Strollers” sign, causing the neighborhood to go up in arms over kid vs. no-kid bargoers.
The brat wars go on. Whether at a bar, restaurant, hotel or health club, lines will continue to be drawn between kid-topia and adult-friendly zones.
Consumers see kids — or no kids — as a badge that unites them with like-minded individuals. Now that the American dream doesn’t necessarily involve two kids and a dog, citizens expect lifestyle options that reflect their personal choices.
