If that bar is just going to sit in place and not be fastened into or through your floating floor, then I do not see why you cannot place it on top of the floor. Realize that one should not anchor anything down to the floating floor. If you have plumbing or electrical going to that bar, then code will probably require it to be fastened down in which case, you should not install the flooring under it. Besides, there would need to be holes cut into the flooring for the electrical and plumbing anyway. But a heavy piece of furniture like a bookcase, isn't much different than your bar. Both can be placed carefully on a floating floor as long as the furniture is not fastened to the floor.
