It's quicker, the bartender tends to be much more attentive to your needs, orders go straight to the kitchen from the bar's POS terminal with zero time for a waiter to forget it or frick it up

Unless you had my experience at Posado's when they were still in business. I had just moved to Lafayette that day and finished unloading my 24 foot truck and was starving and could kill for a beer. I walked to Posado's and had a seat at the bar. The bartender was stocking glasses and she kept saying, "I'll be right with you." Her side work continued for 20 minutes before she offered me a drink. I then ordered fish tacos on flour tortillas. The food came and they were on fried corn tortillas. I was starving and would kill for food and mentioned that I would eat them. She insisted on sending them back under the guise of wanting to take care of me. Ten minutes later, the flour tortillas arrived. I'm eating them and discovered they were shrimp. She blamed it on the kitchen. She gave me my tab and rung up on it were shrimp tacos in corn tortillas, so there certainly is more of a zero chance for them to frick up. Coupled with the fact that they had Pacifico beer signs up all over the place but didn't carry it, I'm glad that shithole is out of business.
