They do - but if I recommended Rockler to someone and that person
received stuff as cheap/shoddy as my last Rockler order, it'd reflect
badly on me. I was amazed that the shipping charge from Minnesota was
more than the cost of the product, but understood as soon as I opened
the package - the shipping was _worth_ more.

Lee Valley has a whole catalog full of interesting, if not cheap, hardware
stuff. WAAAAY more than shows up on the Internet web pages.

'tis a threat to domestic financial security, it is. But good looking
stuff, and well done.

They'll send you a catalog, if asked nicely. www.leevalley.com

Don't even start on the gardening stuff...

Unfortunately, I've never seen any bar rail stuff from them and I have been
through all their catalogues a number of times. For the original OP, I did
build a rustic bar for a friend of mine several years ago, and I used chair
rail with standoff supports as a foot rest for anyone sitting at the bar. It
worked out really well, was very easy to put together and satisfactorily,
was quite cheap to build.

In addition to the others already posted, iirc Woodworkers' Supply has
at least some as well.
