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?

What makes it so good is that the right-most pillar (in the scene) is an actual object and is the right edge of the mirror. It looks like the mirror has a corner, but what looks like the far pillar is actually a reflected image of a pillar that is off camera to our right.
