I doubt the bartender would rat out Michael Corleone. He (the bartender) knew he was caught between a rock and a hard place, and would be in grave danger if he cooperated with the police.
To add to this part of the storyline being "screwy", how come the Corleones didn't find out that Frankie was still alive? They had plenty of cops on their payroll, and I'm sure one of them would have reported that Pentangeli was alive in police custody.
