A 70's era bar in the basement?

So, I have a house, had a renter for a while and decided to sell to fund another project. 1000 sq. ft. ranch, built in the 60's. Probably B class starter home market. Nothing special really, except a 70's era custom, "folk art" kind of bar. It's got gold and red velvet wallpaper, black and gold trimmings, saloon doors, whole 9 yards. I know it's kind of ugly, but it's so unique, I think it's kind of beautiful. I've got the house listed with an agent that is experienced in the area and knowledgeable. I was hoping for a clever, patronizing description of the bar in the ad, but nothing other than "bar area". Do you all think keeping the bar in the original, 70's era condition is going to hurt me or help me? Tell me what you think about it.

Think of it like this , THATS  how they will identify the house .  

Its in the basement , not a big deal , I would have some fun and find some 1970's decorations and spread them around , be funny .  Leave a note on the bar  " if you want it gone it will be removed before settlement "
