opinionated bar music - can you play classical music in a bar

I am for the moment listening quite a lot to classical instrumental music. Funny thing is, that I came across Claude Debussy, when I was researching about Herbie Hancock - one of the most influential still living jazz musicians. Since then, I rather stop by at Claude Debussy's compositions [while I still like Herbie]. Now it struck me - bar background music should be subtle [depending on the type of bar]. And while DePhazz and Jazzanova are great choices [which you unfortunately hear for to seldom in bars here in the ME], why not also playing classical compositions? Not necessary Mozart. But mentioned Claude Debussy has fantastic piano compositions and they would give a bar a very unique vibe. What do you think? Would you be turned off by hearing classical music? Or would you even spend more [which is according a field study the case in restaurants]? Comment below - and also comment, if you like Claude Debussy as much as me!
