Sounds like I just found my new favourite restaurant.
But at the Village Pig, if you don't have 25 birthdays under your belt, you're not welcome inside.

Jim Andres, owner of the new barbecue eatery and bar at 75 Coville St., set the unusual age restriction to avoid the undesirable behaviors of two subsets of customers: screaming or crying children and irresponsible younger drinkers. “We simply don't want to deal with it.”

The policy is legal. Some patrons appreciate it while others don't think it is fair.
Well who ever said that barbecue is fair? The Village Pig may go broke in six weeks if the soccer mom crowd find out about their policy and intentionally boycott it. But the restaurant market being the fickle bitch that she is, it may have a line out the door of people waiting for a table that they know won't be by a drunk kid or a screaming baby. I'm waiting for the franchise here.
