Minors Welcome

How can a person not love living in St. John's? True, we were snowed in on Saturday while house-shaking 100 km/hr winds shook the townhouse, but on Friday night we took Madeline to her first pub :)

All bars and restaurants here are non-smoking, and when we inquired at a nice-looking pub on Water St., we were told that children are welcome inside until 8 pm. So we marched inside, sat down, and had dinner. Madeline (who's just a few days shy of 20 months) sat very nicely in the booth and helped me finish off an irish strew and potato croquettes. It was a weird experience (being in a drinking establishment with my toddler, and just being in there in general as I haven't since before she was born), but nice at the same time.

Hi Laura,

That's totally cool. Glad to here you are enjoying the East coast.

Now that all the bars are smoke-free in Edmonton maybe that's something we could work on here.

We were out with my friends little girl the other day and I was surprised how many of my favorite places to eat were "bars"...we ended up at Red Robin for lack of imagination but hopefully will do better next time :)

Later,
Erin

We have been smoke free in Ottawa for a while, which was great because I could go out when I was pregnant with Nikyla for New Years party at the bar. All the bars and restaurants are smoke free here, allows families more choices when wanting to eat out!
