Mostly a subscription service. After downloading the Bar application, you hit the "Order Drink" button, at a cost of $6, every half-hour to stay logged in. If someone you're interested in comes up to you, it is required that you use the "Order Them a Drink" button in order to chat with them. Often you will need to hit that button multiple times to continue chatting with them.
