Bubble bars are similar to oxygen bars, hookahs or waterpipes in real life. They provide fun for up to four Sims at once. They have appeared in all four of the main games in The Sims series, but the name "bubble bar" was not used until The Sims 3: Late Night.

Super Schlooper Bubble Blower[]

| Bubble blowing has been used for centuries to take away the day's stress, while relaxing with friends and relatives. This elaborate Turkish-style bubble blower has the multi-blower functionality of the original but with updated color scheme. While some see this as a break with tradition, 68-year-old Amuh Bakhid notes, "It matters not what pipe is used...it is the bubbles that matter." | |

| Moodlet | |
| Size | 2x2 |
The Bubbluscious Bubble Bar appears in The Sims 3: Late Night, and has six different flavors. Though each flavor costs the same in every venue - §15 - each affect Sims differently. In order to get the effect of the flavor, Sims must spend a couple hours blowing bubbles uninterrupted. Be sure not to let a Sim pay for using the bubble bar too close to closing time or they'll have to leave before the effect sinks in.
- Banana: Gives the 'Banan-ahhhhhhhhh' moodlet for 2 hours, providing +15 mood.
- Chocolate: Gives the 'Chocolate Chuckles' moodlet for 2 hours, providing +15 mood. May also increase a Sim's success with telling jokes.
- Cotton Candy: Gives the 'Sugar Rush' moodlet for 4 hours, providing +15 mood and allowing them to ignore a low Energy motive.
- Mint: Gives the 'Minty Breath' moodlet for 4 hours, providing +5 mood.
- Pineapple: Gives the 'On a Beach' moodlet for 2 hours, providing +15 mood.
- Strawberry: Gives the 'Social Strawberry' moodlet for 2 hours, providing +15 mood. May also provide some bonus for building relationships.
The bubble bar can produce shapes if a Sim practices with it for a little while. The possible shapes are a llama, a plumb-bob, a star, a heart, and a regular. A Sim playing with bubbles gains the secret Bubble blowing skill.

The Sims 4: City Living[]
Bubble bars return in The Sims 4: City Living and function as fun objects. Toddlers and Children cannot use the bubble bar. There are different flavor cartridges, which can give the Sim an array of Moodlets. Swapping flavor cartridges has no cost.
A Sim that uses the bubble bar for an extended period of time may develop a high-pitched voice (Fairy Fizz Only!), which may result in them getting the embarrassed moodlet. Sims that are inexperienced in using the bubble bar may inhale the bubbles, which may give them a dazed moodlet.
Ghosts can possess the bubble bar, making it spew many bubbles.
