Bars are a group of similar lot assignments introduced in The Sims 3: Late Night and The Sims 4.
The Sims 3
Gameplay
These venues attract celebrities and serve drinks provided by the Mixology skill. Bars are represented by blue beer bottle map tags. These are the lowest class of juice-selling venue, but also the most inclusive. Few pre-made bars have bouncers, and the price of food and drink in bars is very affordable. Each type of bar offers an exclusive preset selection of Mixology drinks. Bars attract Sims with certain kinds of traits and repel Sims with other traits.
Bars open at 11 AM and close at 3 AM the next day, making them open considerably earlier and longer than other types of juice-selling venues. All bars feature stages for bands to play on at gigs. They are open 24 hours a day in The Sims 4.

Bars in Bridgeport
Waylon's Haunt
| Waylon's Haunt | |
|---|---|
 Waylon's Haunt at 30 Packard Lane in Bridgeport. | |
| Type: | Dive Bar |
| Happy Hour: | 6 PM |
Built away from the center of town, next to a shady-looking building, Waylon's Haunt is the lowest of the low, much like its usual patrons. Along with a small dance area and a full assortment of bar games, a plasma-screen TV (that surprisingly hasn't been stolen) is mounted in the corner of the room.
Eugi's
| Eugi's | |
|---|---|
 Eugi's at 9308 Sterling Parkway in Bridgeport. | |
| Type: | Local Watering Hole |
| Happy Hour: | 7 PM |
A step up from Waylon's Haunt is Eugi's, which resembles an Irish pub. While it has a shuffleboard table and dart board like all bars, its Foosball table has been swapped out for a stand-up arcade cabinet. A small dance area in front of the stage provides entertainment for more athletic-minded locals.
Bridgeport Sports Zone

|---|---|
 Bridgeport Sports Zone at 8607 17th Avenue in Bridgeport. | |

The Bridgeport Sports Zone is the classiest bar. The bouncer keeps out non-normal Sims but otherwise lets everyone enter the common room, which features an arcade and seating, if no dance floor. A VIP room in the back of the bar contains all the classic bar games as well as three wall-mounted plasma screens, but only 2-star celebrities (or anyone with §50) are allowed past the bouncer.
