Please stop bringing your Boomer parents to bars
The title says it all. Please stop bringing your Boomer parents to bars. Last night my husband and I are trying to enjoy a nice evening together at our favorite spot, Don't Call Me Shirley, when the entire vibe is ruined by someone's father loudly asking if they have a "beer beer" and then being visibly offended when the bartender explains what a saison is. Even worse, said father completely ruined the aesthetic of the Instagram post I was trying to make in order to make all of my friends back home in Ohio jealous of me and there he was: in the background, wearing an Under Armour tshirt with an American Flag on it. He probably voted for Trump.
A bar is not a place for someone's parents anyways. That is not the only bar this happens at in the neighborhood and it's becoming a common occurrence. Specifically only people between the age of 25-39 should be at this bar. Please leave your parents at the Hampton Inn or just don't go out.
ETA: I really don't care what argument is presented, this was not a common issue until about a year or two ago when the demographic of the neighborhood really changed. I moved here specifically so I wouldn't have to interact with people from the suburbs, and definitely not from swing states, and now one of them is using their phone flashlight to read the cocktail menu and asking our bartender if she can have her martini "extra cold."
ETA2: Yes, my parents also voted for Trump but its different.
