Texan Baby Friendly Breweries

Texan Baby Friendly Breweries

Whoa, it has been a hot minute since I’ve written in here! Better late than never, right?

Here is a little update… I HAD A BABY! His name is Wyatt and he is cute af! Which brings me to why I wanted to write. Let’s talk about baby friendly breweries and bars. This post will be updated with every adventure we take with our new little brewery baby.  Most breweries around our state accept babies and kids but these locations have gone above and beyond to make you and your kiddos feel included! Keep and eye out for locations with changing rooms in BOTH bathrooms. There are a few that I have been to personally.  A lot of this list has been compiled from suggestions of many wonderful people around our state.

Tips

What to bring (besides the whole house). Amazon Brewery Baby Must Haves List

  • Baby Changing Pad– this is a MUST HAVE! You can change your baby no matter where you are! It works great on changing tables, couches, benches, tables, you get the picture.
  • Travel Formula Dispenser– holds your formula so you don’t have to bring the whole box!
  • Inglesina Fast Table Chair– another MUST HAVE! This thing is amazing for the LO who has started solids. This thing includes your baby while you can be hands free to eat, drink, whatever you’d like to do. And it’s the perfect way to feed your little one. It attaches to most tabletops and bar tops.
  • Sofie teething giraffe- a bonus. I don’t know what it is about that damn giraffe
  • A breastfeeding cover not needed but helpful sometimes. Luckily the USA is a nipple friendly country so you can whip it out anywhere to feed your sweet baby!

 

To all you new mommies

  • Back your stroller in. It is easier to pull up a step than push or do a wheelie.
  • Hold your car seat like THIS.

North Texas

Denton

  • Denton County Brewing Co: This place is SUUUPER kid friendly. They have a changing table in the girl’s restroom with poopy diaper bags! You heard me right little bags to put that nasty dump your baby just took so it doesn’t stink up the whole place. There are even a few secluded spots if you’d to breast feed. A patio to enjoy the sun and plants that are growing (we all know babies love plants). The owner is great with babies so if you just want to hand them off he’ll show them how to brew.
  • The Bearded Monk: A perfect artsy bottle shop for your baby to stimulate their senses and you to stimulate your taste buds. Every beer tender here is full of a copious amount beer info. Let them know your flavor for the day and let them pour you a beer and take enjoy.

  • Harvest House: A scenic patio with plants and covered fire pits. This spot is great outdoor entertainment for you babe! I’d like to think of it as chill and relaxing. They have scrumptious nonalcoholic options from their espresso bar which includes fresh fruit juices and specialty lattes. They do not have a changing table and do ask for kiddos to be out by 8. I know we have to be out of their way earlier than that otherwise… MELTDOWN central.
