If the bar is on a residential lot, Sims can use it to drink from a bottle, have a drink, or make a tray of four drinks. Sims may do any of these things autonomously. The "Clean Up" interaction is not available for drink trays, and the action of making them cannot be canceled. Once a Sim has started to make a tray of drinks, the only non-cheating way to get rid of them is to have Sims drink them. On a residential lot, Sims can hire a [[bartender]] to tend the bar at parties.

The base game included three bars, ranging in price from §600 to §1000. ''[[The Sims 2: University|University]]'' introduced an "island bar", and more of these were included in later expansion and stuff packs. "Island bars" are made so they can be extended by island-style counters, and each "island bar" is designed to match a type of island-style counter. If stools are placed at these counters, Sims can and will sit at the bar to drink their drinks. However, other Sims on the lot may be aware that a drink has been made, even if they are not in the room. If that happens, one of those Sims may have an autonomous "Have a Drink" reaction ''before'' the Sim who ordered the drink begins to drink it, effectively stealing the drink.

''University'' also added a second type of NPC bartender, to staff bars placed on community lots. With ''[[Open for Business]]'' installed, a bar on an owned community lot can be staffed by an [[Employees|employee]] or by a member of the owner's household. Bars on unowned lots still get an NPC bartender.<ref>The three base game bars lack features such as spawning an NPC bartender on community lots and the ability to assign employees as bartenders. [http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=284916 Lord Darcy's mod] from ModTheSims fixed this. Note that this mod requires OFB or later, or any stuff pack other than ''Happy Holiday Stuff''</ref>
