I decorated my Christmas wreath last year with a dead mouse that George (my cat) killed. I wouldn\'t suggest wearing them.

Can I bring my dog?

Not a chance in burning hell. I would not allow this, even if it was your seeing eye dog.

The thing is this. She is letting us play in there on Sundays. She has the right to run her bar the way she wants. She is trying to attract a crowd that is not us (for her normal business days), she is looking for the upper class of Wallingford thats who she is catering for. She is also trying to steal the patrons from her ex-husband who owns Michael\'s Trattoria at the top of the hill.

She doesn\'t want kids or crocked hat wooks there but because business is good when the Breakfast come in she makes the exception with hats.

I know this because I have talked seductively to her the time she asked me to turn my hat around. She tried to dip right after but I pulled her in and made her talk.

i think maybe it\'s for the other patrons who aren\'t all about kids. i mean i like kids and as long as they aren\'t annoying crying or getting in the way i\'m fine with them but others might not be.  but the point still stands if one or two people leave because of kids it would bring in and extra 5-10 but i guess it\'s not always like that. i mean i would hate to walk into a pre-K bar. as long as the parents have control over there kid i don\'t see a problem but not everyone has control over there kid

here\'s why i don\'t get the kid thing:

they freak about little kids being in there (who are there with their parents, and who obviously aren\'t there to consume alcohol), and yet they don\'t card at the door. :hscratch:

I\'ve really enjoyed every time i\'ve been to jakes....but this is all getting a little weird. jake\'s is supposed to be some sort of a bohemian, due it like you want to establishment. i understand they open at odd times to suit their desires. i don\'t get the tension over odd particular things. the kids thing is possibly to discourage any of the 18-20 yeqar old folks that might come with an uncle ;) or something. the hat thing is kind of inappropriate. also....do the kid rules apply to caitlin? i hope not. she certainly is a candidate for an exemption in my book!

the dog says no KIDS and NO BACKWARD HATS.

drew said something about this to me the other day, and totally confused the **** out of me, as i\'ve worn backwards hats in there 2 weeks in a row and no one\'s said a word to me.

is this seriously a "rule"? is it posted somewhere? have people been told no backwards hats? really?

funny how much i liked this place up until mid-week2. yeesh.

only the older lady who works there or owns the place enforces that rule. she just hates backwards hats for some reason. the first time tim played jakes she got mad at me and asked me twice to turn my hat around. i thought it was a joke because she said it to me like she was my 6th grade english teacher and i was wearing a hat in the classroom, but by the third time i knew she was serious because smoke was coming out of her ears.

I didnt see her the first week of acoustic breakfast, so thats probably why no kids and no backwards hats are allowed after week 2.

Yes, she came up to Spacey (the first week) and before she could even say anything, he took his hat off. She said he could keep it on but asked if he could turn it forward.... then proceeded to tell him he has beautiful hair. :wah:

On the other hand, plainandsimple\'s little bro had it backward the whole time last week and nothing was said to him.

I always thought the law was; 21+ means you can\'t be a kid and walk in unsupervised (without a legal guardian) but I\'m pretty sure that the CT. State law is that as long as a child is with a legal guardian they are allowed.  

Actually...it\'s bad move for Jake\'s.  We were planning on bringing down a few people, one who is having a birthday.  Let\'s see....Me. my wife. three kids, two or three others...diner, drinks....= $$$$$$$$ for Jake\'s == bad business move.

ok....new idea.  Sunday acoustic shows at an "everyone" (dogs included..lol) place.  

Tim...thanks for the heads up.  I would have hated to drive there and not be let in.  Play "Honey Butter" for the girls.  See you soon.

What a shame no kids.  I had 4 couples coming to the show next week with kids (Breakfast Virgins) and now I have to let them know that kids are not welcome.  It gets very expensive when you have to hire a babysitter at $10 an hour, not to mention the $100 bar bill.  Had a great time and will be at Jakes without my three boys.  Looks like Jennifer is staying home with the kids.  Thanks to the Breakfast for a great show and Dave P for getting the show on the archive so quickly.  The sound was great this week, although I miss the baby grand.

Should we expect a sign on the door next week? No Shirt- No Shoes- No Kids or NO SERVICE.Good to know in advance.

even if my little one is with his Dad all weekend.I woulda brought him again since we weasled are way in so nice thanks to help from friends.I thought it ended up not being an issue.
 I walked in with my 4 year old (who was probably even more excited than even me to see the band)to a hallway with other kids and I saw a disappointed parent tell me "they arent lettin kids in"Tommy broke my heart when he looked at me with those big eyes and  in the most adult voice a 4 year old can have said Mommy,why are we in this room I wanna go in there thats where the music is"He looked at me like I was nuts.anyway......I will def. be calling ahead of time if there is ever a show at a time,in a bar that suites my kid.I really didnt think twice though since I work where there is a Bar and I had to take a test and as long as the minor is accompanied by someone over 21 they can be there.and........... it was  in the friig\'in afternoon!

anyway a completely enjoyable Sunday afternoon!! lookin forward to next week and any other acoustic shows for the future.:)

Title: No Kids This Sunday at Jake\'s
Post by: tmn8r1 on September 18, 2007, 03:37:08 pm
Hello everyone - i have to pass the message from Jake\'s management that no kids are allowed this Sunday. The show is 21+ strict. Sorry for the confusion last week. In general parents should call venues (which most of them are bars) to see if it is cool to bring their children. Every bar/venue have different rules. Some care, some don\'t - either way i hate to exclude anyone from a Breakfast show. That feeling sucks so just check in advance so there is no confusion. Thanks for understanding and I will see you at Jake\'s for the last installment of acoustic Breakfast (for now). peace

Anyone bold enough to do the 4 night run? I don\'t think I\'ll be able to afford a trip to CT for the acoustic show but I\'m not ruling it out either.

Hey, why not stretch it into a 5-night run?  Osiris Cafe on Monday.
