add bar to sunroom

My husband and I have this amazing exposed brick in the add-on room from the previous owners (that was previously a patio). Currently it serves as an art section/ extra tv room/sun room in a way. We would love to be able to add a bar vibe in some way while keeping the art on the full brick wall but adding some fun to the room . He has a nice collection of bourbons that would be perfect to showcase but I’m stumped where to start .

    Love the brick. Not really into the TV placement. I wonder if that brick ”counter” could be the bar. A mirror with glass shelves on the wall behind it designed to show off the collection and also store barware. Perhaps add a counter height bistro set in the window corner by the ”bar.”

    I hate art hung willy nilly all over the place with no logic and all those pieces are hung way too high .When you say bar what excatly in is your head , a stand up bar a bar where you serve from behind the bar and there are stools ? I need more info as to what you want .I have abar in my walk out basement it has been there for years and honestly hardly ever used even though we thought it would be . The grand kids use the fridge and all the glassware but friends not so much they still tend to hang out in my kitchen even when they play pool they bring a beer and go up to get another one . So think about how this will be used .

    Maybe a bar cabinet could go in front of that inside window? What room is on the other side of that window?

    place tv on the wall where mirror is hung, Bar can go where the TV was, adding shelves with room for small refrigerator to the right. Re-arrange sofa so it faces mtv with back to the walkway by the door. The chair can be perpendicular to the right arm of the sofa. Bring coffee table close to chair and sofa to serve both. By the windows, a table and chairs for crafts and games, some drawers or cubbies for storage. Review articles in Houzz on how to display various art that has interest and sets apart from the brick wall. You may want to locate pieces to the drywall area.

    Absolutely do not rearrange sofa to have back to entry and door.

    Maybe have a metal storage cabinet like this to display the burbon on the one wall, but a different cabinet on the opposite wall so there is room to actually mis drinks

    This piece is from Target "Storied Home"




    This cabinet below is from World Market

    Get rid the the yellow on the ceiling and walls.

    Thank you all for your feedback so far. I will add - we have absolutely no attachment to the couch or chair nor make the hole placements that the previous owners had put into the brick where things currently hang . Things are hung on what was already here bc my eye twitches when I see holes or screws sticking out of a wall. I’m merely showing the room layout of a room that we are not sure what to do with . My husband having the bourbon collection was an idea. I had the thought of adding shelving where the mirror is located to display bourbon . Just really needing advice bc I walk into the room and go blank on how to make it comfortable but useful to some degree. This is our only exit to the fenced back yard from the main living room of the house. The window on the wall to the right of the tv is the main living room .

    Thanks info always good. I am not a big lover of booze bottles on display where eeasy to see from outside . I think a bar type cabinet witout stools or service is easy to do . What is that big brick box where you have the TV now ? Since this space leads outside I think you will find the same as we did not usually going to need an actaul bar . The holes can be repaired so please do that and hang the art properly. A nice cabinet for the bottles like Beverly suggested I think could work I like a small bevergae fridge and a counter for snakck so maybe all done on one wall with some display on the back wall and cabinets and the fridge all under the counter Sort of like this
