bad parenting

we took our son to a bar. 

i really felt like everyone there must have thought we were the worst parents in the world. it was an honest mistake though. 

i'm sure you are confused by that statement but let me explain. i got a call from a friend of ours asking if we wanted to check out a restaurant with them that they had seen on the food network. according to the show this place had the best wings in the country. mark is a huge wings fan so we decided to check it out. 

the place is called the jug handle inn, nothing about that name made me think it was a bar. 

the first clue should have been when we walked up and there was a bouncer at the door. he asked for all out our IDs. we brought my brother along because like mark, he loves wings. i explained to the guy that we had a minor with us and that we had just come for dinner. after talking to the manager he told us we could come in but that no one could drink (this should have been my second clue). we enter the "restaurant", baby in tow. there was a giant bar in the center of the room and a few bar rounds surrounding it. i walked around looking for the restaurant portion of the bar. turns out it was JUST the bar. 

we ended up having to move some tables around but with some help we finally found a place to sit down. we where honestly just there for the wings. i was so embarrassed though that we were in a straight up bar with an eight month old. 

he didn't seem to mind though. i don't eat wings, but according to everyone else, they were totally worth it. so if you ever find yourself near cinaminson i would suggest checking the place out. but leave the baby at home!
