How would you deal with the two obstructions? They are so close
together, it ****es me off the builder didn't run the drain stack right
next to the support pole.

I was planning on putting a bar in that area, but not sure the best way
to incorporate all of this.

I though the column in my family room was bad enough, this is really a
PITA.

Can you put the bar by the drain stack and use that? Would it be a major
obstruction to box in both with a wall and use the wall as the back of the
bar and sink? From the picture I see, it look like they may not line up
90 degrees tot he wall. If that is the case, perhaps a "wide" wall can
incorporate part of the bar or a closet.

That sounds good to me except rather than building a solid wall, leave it
open from the bar top to the ceiling, between the two pipes and put glass
shelves between them to hold glasses, etc.
