Aloha! If you have the main box of the bar made of plywood, you can attach the vertical bamboo pieces to the sides with simple finishing nails. You'll need to pre-drill for each nail through the bamboo so it doesn't split. I've done this before and it works just fine. You can always just hot glue them on, but the nails would be a lot stronger. A little wood glue on the back of each piece before you nail it would be good too. Good luck! Post some pictures when you get it finished.
