Wet Bar Backsplash ...advice needed!

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right forum to post in (have also posted in home decorating forum).We are building a simple wet bar that will be a back bar only, against a wall. It will be a 10 ft quartz counter (Cambria-Aragon) with some base cabs and some glass door wall cabs (Aristokraft- Sasparilla). We were thinking of getting a mirror for the central part of the backsplash and tiling around the rest of it for design. Here are my concerns/questions:

1. Are mirrored wet bars outdated these days? I wanted the mirror to open up the space a bit, but have not seen too many people put them in on a back bar only.

2. The wet bar is directly opposite to a sliding patio door that is facing south. Will there be too much glare on the mirror frm this? There is a 24' distance between the bar, and doors. The room is 16' wide.

Given this info (i wish I could post a picture...I'll try to soon), would you go with a mirror, or would it look better to tile the whole thing?

Thanks!
