All Bar One, Leicester Square

Ended up visiting this place twice last night (don't ask). Both times, I waited around 15 minutes, maybe 20, to get a drink. I know it was busy, but hey - it was only a Wednesday evening in January. Have they never been busy before? The queue - or perhaps the word is 'melee' - for drinks was up to 40 or 50 people at one point. You got to ask the question here: what's the point from All Bar One's point of view, of having all these people in their bar, thirsty and economically inactive, i.e. not paying for a drink and not getting one either? I'd never visit this place out of choice again.
