Use the same technique you would use as with tile. Grout it.

Do you mean that you are mosaicing it? If so, use a multipurpose polymer modified thinset from a tile store and then a good quality tile grout from a tile store. You may want to seal the bottlecaps first to try to avoid oxidization and you'll definitely want to seal the grout later so do some sealer testing on your pieces before you start - some sealers will interact with each other and create a cloudy surface.
You could also consider embedding them in resin. I know this used to be popular in the 70s and is making a comeback. My nieces is making tiny collages in bottlecaps as pendants - she got her resin materials at a craft store, for a large item such as a bartop I'd probably look for more industrial sources.

Clear polyurethane would be another idea. Just get a bunch and pour it on. I know this is how the tables at certain chain restaurants are done. They lay down various pictures cards and other "flair" and then cover with lots of polyurethane.

You could get a piece of tempered class cut to cover the top of the bar. A glass company would have to cut it to the dimensions you need.
