Comments on: World’s Most Uncomfortable Barstool The blog of Bill Stephens' syndicated Food & Wine section column, "Hey, Restaurant Guy!" 2007-02-02T02:13:19Z WordPress http://heyrestaurantguy.com/2006/09/26/uncomfortable-barstool/feed/atom/ By: Coastman Coastman http://heyrestaurantguy.com/2006/09/26/uncomfortable-barstool/comment-page-1/#comment-18 2006-10-17T15:42:07Z 2006-10-17T15:42:07Z I hate bar stools. If I have to sit on one, it had darned well better have a back, not weigh 389 lbs., and not be anywhere near the wait station, the beer taps, or the sink. Height also comes into play. Who says that bars have to be 4 1/2 feet tall?

Come to think of it, the perfect bar stools are in the Carousel Bar at the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans (French Quarter). They have backs, are bolted down, are conventional table-top height, and did I mention that the entire set up revolves so that the view is always changing?

A good bartender will allow a person to sit on a spike. The success or failulre of a good bar is not the stool. A great bar is built on a great bartender.

Some of my best meals have been full service dinners while seated at a bar. They can be very special!

People whose small of their back is way up in the middle of their back? People whose small of their back is convex not concave? People who think comfort is not allowed during cocktail hour, in rental cars, at synagogues or on airplanes, just to create a short list? As for barstools, maybe they think you’ll be anaesthesized by the alcohol and not notice the pain.
