You also have to be able to adequately staff the space. If you can’t do that, then you need to reduce the space being served - hence, closing off part of it to maximize efficient, good service. Which leads to…

Two reasons:

  1. So you can be more efficient with service by localizing customers and don’t necessarily need a wait staff. If you don’t have enough staff to adequately have table service, this is a good way to get around that.
  2. So people don’t have to fight for a spot to just make an order. People don’t have to order over each other, you don’t have the risk of the bartender never noticing you when you’ve been waiting to a long time.

I have absolutely zero idea what you’re talking about with it being “theater”

LOL Taxation is the price of admission to a live in a society with paved roads, public transit, free schools, and fire departments.

Now if you’re taking issue with how much we get for the taxes we pay, that’s a different discussion… (the short answer is: not enough).

Do they still stay open late? I stopped by there sometime in October for late night food and they were fully closed up, lights off. This was at 1:30am on a Friday/Saturday night too. Pre-pandemic I went there a few times on weekend nights and they were open until like 4am so I was expecting them to be back somewhat to those hours.
