My question is....if I were to run an ethernet cable from my router in the house to a network switch in the bar, then subsequently hardwire those speakers, would it work??

Yes 

I get there's STP implications so the switch would need to support that…

Or just use a dumb switch

Another method (that Sonos don’t recommend) is to use EoP devices. I run the downstairs Sonos devices using these and find them much more reliable than any of the Sonos network facilities - others may differ. I use upstairs switch > upstairs EoP > downstairs EoP > downstairs switch > Sonos kit

 If the outside building is powered from your main consumer unit, then it should work.

Mine works just that way. I went with writing all the speakers in the end mainly because it was easy work an 8 port switch. Has worked without issue since. 
I also set up a wireless access point and that works fine too with the speakers running on WiFi.
