It's worth considering that I'm talking from the point of view of a person who's the only one using the soap. If I shared my space for a longer time with someone else, I'd probably change some points.
I love my bars of soap, in fact, I'm a little addicted to them, haha. Naturally, I think that using bar soap is better overall.
I try to live and produce as little plastic and other garbage as possible. With liquid soap, packed in plastic for transport at least, there's more plastic waste as with a bar of bar soap. I usually also get my soap from indie or homemade makers, who pack the soap in cardboard and paper, so it's really as zero plastic waste as possible.
I find that bars of soap just last longer and when I'm washing my hands, I use less water than I'd usually use when washing my hands.
Bar soap is better at exfoliating any dirt from my skin, so I find it better at cleaning overall than just using liquid and trying to get as much mess from my hands as I can.
