My children know how to behave in a restaurant: make as much noise as possible, run and jump and spin from one end of the place to the other, and swoop down on the table intermittently for a bite of pizza or a sip of a Shirley Temple. And maybe even pole dance (hello, Google pervs!).
*I* know how to behave in a restaurant with my children: encourage them to do all those things while I enjoy a nice glass of Merlot, munch on a Greek salad, chat with my friends, listen to catchy music, and watch the children get blessedly exhausted.
Every Sunday afternoon The D Note in Olde Town Arvada offers Baby Boogie. The owners of this bar/ restaurant/ music venue have three young daughters and wanted to incorporate their working Sundays with their family Sundays.
It’s a win-wine situation.
Kiddie instruments are supplied, as are hula hoops, balloons, hip kiddie music (think They Might be Giants and the Beatles). But the real draw to the children, I suppose, is having the run of the place.
The D-Note serves gourmet pizzas and signature pastas, and it has a fully stocked bar. Yum! A great way to end the weekend and start the week.

Thanks for the heads up! My toddlers would DIG this!
I know you and they will enjoy a LOT. They’ll get energy out and you’ll get energy in.
Is “D” for Delicious? Because I’ve been to the D-Note and it Definitely Delivers.
Fabulous idea! I wish we lived a bit closer!
I love the D-Note! My hubby and I like to end date-night there listening to the live music!
Amber — yes, all those, too!
Alison — it’s a wonderful Sunday afternoon if you find yourself in the area. Forward this post to a venue near you and have them start one up…?
Momma — that’s a great idea for Date Night!
This place sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks for the tip.
The D Note…. Reason #5,358 why I wish I were in the Denver commuting area.
*sigh*
No Reimer Reason (love the name!) — you’re welcome. Let me know what you think!
Catherine — I have reasons of my own to wish you were here, too.
