A bit pixelated and jaggy. But cool idea and like the bit of time display. Very nice editing. One of my favorites in this challenge. 7

this has a very sci fi feeling to it. I like the date printed on the bottom right corner. :)

Nice. Big bar....lighting helps add to the feeling of the bar which seems to be comfortable. Love the lighting at the bar also.

Composition
Thie is a well-designed shot. The main model is made more human, approachable and believable by the two other people in the shot. The photo would not have as much impact with only the main person sitting at the counter. The yellow light with the white light above it seems to give character to the locale selected for this shot. The beer bottles over the counter speak of some story or local quirk that any regular of this bar would know.

Color
The washed out colors of the ligths behind the bar and the overpowered darkness of the subjects in teh foreground lend an exhilirating edge to the top of the photo that becomes more grounded as the viewer approaches the bottom of the image. This could hint at some gritty realism that comes from a late night discussion with a stranger and a bar tender (or not).

Lighting
The lighting in this image evokes some emotion for me as the top of the image seems to promise a place that's fun to be and then as your eyes trail down to the models/subjects you begin to get baser, more connected feeling.

Focus
The focus in this image is not sharp and that is not put to good use in this composition. It doesn't kill the emotions evoked by the rest of the presentation but the viewer could be brought in more easily if the main model's head/face were in better focus.

Overall
I like this image. I don't think I would crop it any differently but I think a better focus would have given this picture a stronger voice with which to pull in viewers.
