Babies in Bars

Forget the infamous stroller backlash at its brother, Union Hall. Here you won't be bothered while reliving your pre-parenthood days. During happy hour (Mon-Fri, 5pm-7pm) you can relax and have a beer before taking the opportunity to wow your kid with your prowess on the bocce ball court.

This beer and wine spot feels like the apartment you wish you could afford--all the more reason to frequent it with your family. Tenders are tolerant of couples with kids, so long as they go before the place gets too crowded.

Park Slope's strollerati mix with hipster laptop tappers here, and everyone enjoys a kindly priced cup of coffee or bottled beer. In fact, some say the pickup mood lingering in the air partly explains the prevalence of under-employed creative types with children in the area.

It's tough to tell what the larger draw is to local couples looking for an end-of-day drink: The homey atmosphere or daily $4 drafts from 5pm to 7pm. Whatever the case, babies are as welcome and buxom babes.
