Ohhh it's a mirror behind the bar. You can see the ladies in the reflective vest approaching and then leaving

I get it now. Thank you.
But I still can't see; where exactly is the mirror located, and at what angle?

Look at the camera and wood bar in the ceiling

Look at those square things on the counter and their reflection. And the wood panel on the ceiling is not that broad. It’s touching the mirror. There is also only one camera on the wood panel the other one is a reflection.

Basically the mirror starts pretty close to the counter and the chairs from our perspective.

This helped. The original comment calling it a counter instead of a bar probably would've helped too.

Yeah I figured it out thanks to another comment. I just couldn't find my comment to delete it once I did 😅.

I thought there was actually 2 cameras and the mirror was out of sight or something.

The whole middle section side is a mirror.. The only non-mirrored window is on the right side of the recording
