Where they mentioned a small bar in the centre of the galaxy, I would've setup an actual bar in the middle of the display . Stocked it with plenty of drinks too....which would be appropriate considering the Sgr B2 star cloud, which is part of the bar, is chocka-block full of ethanol

There's enough ethanol in the cloud to make 10^50 bottles of whisky (or whatever you might like)
