Why would a “high top” table be needed? Looks like just two barstools would fit better & more appropriate. Maybe just @ smaller round table & three or? chairs if you need additional dining space. A round glass top table might look good. Difficult to say without dimensions.

What do you want or need it to be? If you put a dining table there, you should get rid of the bar stools; there just isn’t enough room for them and a table.

Consider a high top table that used your existing bar stools plus one for seating around the table.

Then pull the bar stool over to the bar when you need them.

A couple more thoughts: If you had artwork on the walls, it wouldn’t feel nearly as empty. Also, can your trash go in a more inconspicuous location, perhaps under the sink?

Try moving the bar cart and art to that area, if you don't need the additional seating.

Yes, use the bar stools around a high top table and get a couple of stools with no backs to push under the bar when not in use.

Do you own or rent, Ty? If this was my space, which I owned, I’d consider getting rid of the barstools altogether so I could have a conventional dining table, either round or oval (based on your photos only since I don’t know the dimensions, probably oval on a pedestal base, and probably with only four chairs). Then, I might build in more cabinetry underneath the overhang for things like cookbooks, bar ware, vases, etc. I think on the side where the trash is, that could be open shelving for cookbooks or books in general, and the back side could have cabinet doors, either solid or glass. Just a thought!

Well, you definitely don’t want a bar or counter-height table, then—well, I wouldn’t, anyway!

Agree with Sammy - find a way to get that trash into a pullout.

The area behind the barstools does look empty. Can't tell exactly the space that you have there. I would put a nice storage (maybe for glasses or bottles of wine). I think the reason you did a overhang on the kitchen counter is for someone to sit there to eat breakfast or for entertainment. Putting another high table behind for you to move chairs around every time someone wants to sit at the bar or the high table doesn't make too much sense.

Just put something decorative that you can also use for storage. Don't think a nook table with benches would fit and hopefully you have another area that you can make a dining room area.
