Quoth the cottoncandypink :

Fun little arts and crafts DE: draw the layout of the bar, as it exists in your head.

(I’ll update with some links to online room drawing sites and such when I’m at work.)

So here is one that looks nice to me, Planyourroom, or this one, Roomstyler, seems more detailed. Here's a site with another 5 if you don't like these two. If you can't use these, feel free to just write out how you see the bar. =)

I don't actually have one, it's just sort of a nebulous shifting mass of tables and booths. I do picture it having a curve to it, though, with the Observation Window making up a large part of the outer side of the curve and the wall behind the Bar on the inside.

OK, I've spent enough time with this. Not perfect, as I image more curves to the space and raised platforms (like the Observation Window and Front Door areas are like a step up/down with a ramp for those who need it) but this is close:

Also, the room shifts just about every time you come in. Growing in size or changing layout as needed.

I picture it as a big rectangular room, with the bar at one of the short ends and the observation on one of the long ends, opposite the back door. The door to the kitchen is behind the bar, with a hallway to the staff rooms, the restrooms, and the gym beside it. The fireplace is within view of the bar. The rest of the walls are lined with booths, with tables in the middle. The karaoke stage appears when it wants to, where it wants to. There's a piano off to the side of the bar; I picture it as an upright, though sometimes it seems to be a white baby grand.

It's dimly lit most of the time, and always seems to be about five o'clock at night.

In my head it looks a bit like the set for a sitcom filmed before a live studio audience.

Stage Right we have Bar.
Upstage from Bar is the Staff Hallway.
Downstage from Bar is the Lake Door.

Back center from that, up on a stair we have the Front Door.
It's up on a wide level so that people coming in have a raised up view of the goings on downstage.

Upstage stage left we have the stairs that go up to the living quarters.
On the wall where the stairs disappear we have the fireplace.

And then sort of behind the fire place, off stage, is the elevator.

Booths start centerish stage left and come downstage from there.
The observation window is pretty much all of stage left to the audience.

The basic setup, done in MS Paint. Sorry for all the edits, Don!

I see the booths with those high walls to allow more privacy, the fireplace and various couches are in between the booths. All of the couches and chairs are soft and worn in, the kind that are well loved.

From the Front Door, looking around from your left, you see booths, fireplace, booths, staff hallway, Bar, the Window, not far away a window to the outside, back door with tables in between.

Its not a true rectangle shape so its not always easy to see the corner with the jukebox, piano and at times karaoke machine. Along the other wall are booths mixed in with more tables.

Writing this out, I realized how I always picture the Window almost across from the Front Door, I think because I always seem to have my characters gesturing to it with new characters.

tiny squares are tables, tiny circles are seats
