I ran a 20 amp circuit for the outlets on the wall before my bar and for the GFCI outlets above the counter top back-splash of the bar. 7 Outlets total. Do I need all of the outlets to be GFCI or can most of them be regular 20 amp outlets and just the ones within 6 feet of the sink be GFCI? The bar is only 10 ft long with the sink in the center. Or can I just use 1 GFCI outlet for the 1st one of the two on the bar and wire it so that the 2nd one is protected from the 1st one?
I also used the same circuit to power an outlet above the bar hutch that the hutch lights plug into. Would it have to be GFCI?
Hope I didn't confuse everyone.
Thanks for your help.

All 15- and 20-ampere receptacles installed within 6 ft of wet bar sinks at dwelling units must have GFCI protection for personnel.
Protecting other receptacles down stream is permitted.

Code says All receptacles. If you have a receptacle that falls within that 6 feet, then I would say yes you would have to protect the outlet above the bar.
