I still have no idea how I'll handle ice (a problem with my existing bar)--at the very least, I'd like a place where I can leave an amount of ice and not have it mostly melted when I need it 15 minutes later.

Have you seen the Imbibe article with Adrian and his Desert Oasis Room? I thought of you when I read this:

http://imbibemagazine.com/home-tiki-bar-adrian-eustaquio/

“For small groups, Eustaquio fills a diving helmet–shaped ice bucket from the ‘60s, but for a larger crowd, he wheels out an upright drinks cooler that he adapted to his own purposes. ‘It’s basically a Red Bull cooler that I decorated in such a way that it matches the lamps,’ he says. ‘It holds 50 pounds of ice, and I can wheel it around, so If I need to fill it up again I can just wheel it into the kitchen. There’s no sink in the bar, so at the end of the night, I can wheel it outside and empty the water there.’”
