Copyright Issues with shooting inside a bar?

I'm in the stages of pre-production for a web series I've written and there are quite a few scenes in a bar. Finding a location is not the issue, but I notice alot of the bars we've looked at have beer posters, neon brand name lights, and of course all the bottles and signage that is behind the bar itself. I'm assuming you can't show any logos? Or does it matter? It seems like shooting around everything will prove to be a challenge, but I want to do it right. I am taking this web series production as serious as any other feature film production would and I want to make sure my company has all the rights to everything.

Sidenote: The apartment we are using also has pictures on the wall of just celebrities really (like a cut-out of Eddie Murphy's head, Andy Kaufman, John Lennon) These wouldn't be a problem to take down, but just so I'm clear those would be copyright infringement as well correct?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Cheers, Jeremy
