Tile, slate, or any hard surface is going to sound 'louder' both in the room and below the room (you did say attic, didn't you?) Second, vinyl or cork, or anything that goes down in sections or pieces is a good idea for a bar area. If you damage a bit of floor, you can repair just the damaged area. Third, with a little imagination and a lot of patience you can get pretty creative with vinyl tiles. Look up the book PAD by Matt Maranian in your local library to see what I mean. What ever you decide, take pictures and keep us updated.
