Not sure why people like table service in bars ? Walk in find a table if you can, try and attract attention of waiter/waitress, wait for drink to arrive. You want to go, attract serving person ask for bill wait for that, wait for change ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ?ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZXXZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Which is why, to quote a former Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police, “we’ll never have a drinking culture a la continental Europe.”
Brits like to stand up, fire beer down their necks and get lairy. It’s a bit more civilised the other side of La Manche.
