*edit - sorry, this was meant as a reply to the original poster :3

A good owner tries to keep abreast of what's going on in all areas of the 
restaurant, and so should spend some time in the bar.  A good owner wants to 
talk with the patrons and make sure people are having a good time, as well as 
keeping an accurate idea about the types of customers to whom she is marketing.

If it is inhibiting your ability to do your job, you may want to bring those 
concerns to the owner; frame them as reasons the bar would work better in 
certain situations, to show them as legitimate to her concerns.

If you just want to run a bar without anyone else being able to get in your 
way, you're probably going to be disappointed until you own your own bar.
