Hope I wasn't too harsh because it looks nice -- just functionally it needs some work if people are going to drink there on a regular basis... the colors and lighting look great... and it looks kinda classy... But remember that people that really enjoy drinking every day aren't really so into "classy" -- what they really want is comfort... a home away from home. You know like Cheers... hahaha... Norm is real and funny on that show because he's a stereotypical bar person... There are millions of "Norm's" all over the world... these guys come in every day and want to sit in the same place...

Maybe you don't have room, but at a bar without a pool table is kindof lacking even at really "classy" bars... if you have a pool table I can almost guarantee you will get a core group of people that always want to play while drinking -- almost every day or on certain day so it becomes routine... The pool table sells the bar and if it takes coins even more money, and to me it seems to usually be the core of the social activity for most bars -- it's an easy ice-breaker especially when people are playing doubles and looking for new teammates when there's only 1 table... I don't think the table is that important, except for the shape/look, because that will define the style of your place -- get some heavy sticks and plenty of chalk... and keep some sandpaper handy to keep the sticks from getting handjam...
