A few chairs never ruined a bar

An elegant French tapas standing bar called Q opened near our place. They have all you can drink wine, six varieties, for 1800 yen. (The absence of chairs might limit the damage you could do to this deal.) We stuck to green tea plum wine mixed with soda water.
From outside, the black lacquer, stainless steel and artful indirect lighting threaten smooth jazz, but, as at the smoky Chinese place downstairs, the music is pure 80s.

There was a platter of thick pieces of peppered bacon out on the bar, and I shushed someone in our party who joked that it was "service" - free. Then the friendly Okinawan bar tender came over later and, in one of the more unexpected questions I've gotten in a while, asked, "Do you like bacon?" I'd forgotten about the tray. "It's free. All you can eat. Help yourself, it's over there."

Nice! But I can't see what harm a few chairs would to. There would be nothing to stop you if you wanted to stand, right?

This Q is the third branch in Tokyo - they are also in Ebisu and Nishi Azabu.
