I leave my bananas in pots and bring them in for the winter.

I haven't covered the furniture...always torn between protecting from the weather or creating habitat for mice. I do bring in the cushions and store those for the winter.

I take down the sail shades. I left one up one year as an experiment and the s-hook on one side bent straight from the snow load. The sail shade didn't get damaged. Its best to take those down to avoid problems.

As for the bar, I bring in the bar fridge and kegorator and plug those in for indoor usage. I'd guess they would be fine if left outside, except everything in them would freeze. Since I keep my syrups in the bar fridge, I bring it in for winter storage (same with the beer in the kegerator). I also bring the booze in for the winter.

As far as the bar itself, I leave decorations and lights hanging in the bar.
