Bar (object)

A bar is an object that allows Sims to dispense drinks. Sims can either make single drinks for themselves, or make several drinks to share with others. Sims enjoy a boost to their fun motive when drinking the refreshing beverages.

The Sims
In The Sims, there are two types of bar. There are single-tile wet bars which can only be placed on residential lots, and 2x1 bars which can only be placed on community lots. A bar placed on a community lot will spawn a bartender.

The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, all bars can be placed on either residential or community lots, have two surfaces for placing drinks, and take up 2x1 spaces, though spaces in front of and behind are reserved for Sims. Bars offer either mixed or poured drinks, though the only difference is the appearance of the drinks.

Sims can hire bartenders to tend the bar at parties. A bar placed on a community lot will be staffed by one of the neighborhood's NPC bartenders. With Open for Business installed, a bar on an owned community lot can be staffed by an employee or by a member of the owner's household.

The Sims 3
In The Sims 3 there's only one choice of beverage from the bar: Non-alcoholic juice. Drinking gives a 'Sugar Rush' which freezes the fun moodlets for 4 hours.
