decent establishments
Dear Teachers,
Sorry to ask again :)
It's hard for me to get the meaning of this phrase:
“We'll be friends. For fucking forever and ever," I vowed filmly and got up to give a group hug.
“Enough, guys, this is a decent establishments,” Ryan said and we sat back, laughing an embarrased laugh.
I've searched in online dictionaries but couldn't find the exact definition. Thanks for your help :)

Where are the characters?
An establishment is a business. For example, a restaurant, cafe, or pub.
Decent establishment = there's nothing illegal or "obscene" or morally questionable going on in it. It's family friendly.
I guess the joke is that the gushing expressions of friendship and group hugs are too much for a decent place.

***** A NON-TEACHER's COMMENT *****
I recently read that two men were asked to leave a pub ("bar"
in American English) in the United Kingdom because they were
kissing each other. Apparently, the pub did not want to lose
its reputation as a "decent establishment."
Respectfully yours,
James

Re: decent establishments
The use of the F word isn't welcome at a decent place, either.

True. I read the phrase as a joke.
