OP stated:
From what I read above most people visit to pound drinks and food, the views seem to be a minor consideration, particularly given the capacity issues
In my opinion it was secondhand information based on “from what I read”. Most people are there to enjoy a few beverages and a nibble or two (or more) I guess it just sounded derogatory to me. I don’t even think they considered poetic license.
In my personal opinion the bartenders work very hard there, make really nice cocktails. They only allow you to take one at a time, and you can’t even get one for a guest unless they know the guest is with you. Thus pounding is not appropriate in my opinion
