The bar MUST stay imho, it's a service differentiator from BA Club... and lets face it Emirates and other airlines have bars in business now.
Some of my best memories are of being at VS Bar having a drink and chatting with other passengers, some of which I still stay in contact today! Flights will all be a bit sterile without a bar and you won't meet strangers. Conversely BA's layout will lead to stranger meetings more, and may be more desirable.
Just my personal thoughts.
I've also had the situation where the bar was hogged by 2-3 pax entire time, and didn't get a sniff of a seat! How the passengers were standing on landing was an entirely other matter. Fully plan to sit, chat and use bar in UC on the 747 out of gatwick in May (and hopefully not be a bar hog myself)
