An idea about Night clubs/bars
I'd like to propose a club/bar venue, with a system much like the restaurant system, but hopefully one that works as intended. ;)
As the owner your Sim could set drink prices, hire a bouncer to break up fights, etc., schmooze guests and work on improving their patrons' experience. As your Sim grows their club they could unlock new themes with which to decorate it – Vegas glamor, rowdy roadhouse, tiki beach, goth bar, African safari, urban hot spot, etc., and you might also grow to be selective about clientele - celebrities only, things like that. It would be a great pack in which to bring back the pool table and the mechanical bull/bucking bronco, and maybe even the gambling tables – you could open a casino club!
This would work extremely well in conjunction with or as part of a bands/entertainer pack. Your Sim could hire entertainers – comedians, DJs, bands, singers, magicians, acrobat/jugglers - that would draw or perhaps, if they don't have enough skill, repel patrons to the venue. The more you could afford to pay, the better the entertainers (and staff, naturally), and the more patrons you would attract. Then Club Owner would be a new career, for your Sims, along with band member, magician and acrobat (with new skill trees for each entertainer branch).
The game could even include NPCs to ruin the fun – maybe the return of the Unscrupulous Charlatan, a pickpocket, an obnoxious guy or girl who always wants to fight, or even a creepy stalker … this way your bouncer would have a situation to get control of, and how well you manage it the better your club’s reputation becomes.
Perhaps the team could retrofit the existing bars to work within the new system, too.
