I would contact a licensed interior design / space planning professional or architect who is familiar with the code where you are located and have them assist you in designing your bar. This is imperative when it comes time for your inspections and for issuance of your certificate of occupancy.
High quality individuals will be able to take your as-built, walk through the space with you and then provide you a design that expresses your idea and is compliant with building, health and safety, and fire codes. Some designers can show you a 3D virtual tour of your interior with varying levels of detail. Always seek multiple designs from different firms or individuals and speak with them about the level of their involvement, if any, in the entire process from planning the space to opening your doors.
