After a year of "Bar" but he returned to television screens. The third edition in front of television attracted a much larger audience, advertised already familiar faces - boxer Yvonne Guzowski and controversial contestants of "Big Brother" Agnes Frykowski . After the success of the third edition issued fourth Polsat, enjoys the viewing figures even more. It had however changed the formula, and a significant portion of participants were the most popular participants in previous editions of the "Bar", shortly before the program ended, " Knight to take "a TVN -owski "Big Brother". Polsat again went for a blow, and after a few months the screens became the fifth edition of the program. Apart from anyone unknown to the program participants were also invited "VIPs", as it turned out they were in the majority of children of known parents. Was attended among others Torzewska Agata, Jacek Korwin-Mikke, and brothers Cugowscy. The fifth edition, however, did not repeat the previous success. Yet after a year decided to break the sixth installment. It was advertised slogan " Europa Bar "and characterized by the fact that apart from the Poles also took eight participants from other European countries - Greece, Ukraine, Russia, Italy, Lithuania and Great Britain. This edition has reached the smallest audience of the past. It is even said that it was therefore shortened by two weeks.

After the sixth edition appeared about the next, having to bear the title " World Bar ", though not Polsat plans to soon return program. Rules
The game began more than a dozen people (this number varied depending on the subsequent editions). All editions appeared also new entrants, falling already during the program, usually at someone's place. The program lasted about three months. Players stayed employed as a staff in place, "Bar" and worked hard under the watchful eye of raw boss - Jack Koch. At the beginning of the "Bar" was on the street Świdnicka Wroclaw in the basement of the house for Commodities "Solpol" program and later moved to the pavilion catering "between the bridges" at Prince Street, Witold 2 (demolished in May 2006 ). The camera is also accompanied by our heroes outside of work, in a house barowiczów located in most editions of Wroclaw Bielany (in the second edition was flat in the city center). Viewers watched their every day relationships - conflicts, friendships, sometimes even affection. Participants also often got different types of additional tasks, they also organized trips to interesting places, where, of course, also accompanied them to the camera. Every Thursday took place the program live in the studio, where each participant had to admit one person "plus" and one "minus" for the past week. The person with the highest number of "cons" occupied the first hot seat, and the person with the most "pros" have to decide who will occupy the second. Every Saturday, the next program of live viewers through SMS vote decided which of the people sitting on the "hot seat" to exit the program.

This relationship did not survive. In the third edition, the fifth leading hot chair Krzysztof Ibisz badly read out the results of voting viewers, and instead of Edith Robocień, the program has left Christopher Kusik. In the sixth edition of Bar the shows production were seen by some as favouring Thomas Ames, with critics regarding the live shows as amounting to a smear campaign on other participants. In interviews Ames has agreed that there was bias shown by producers but has also said he enjoyed the prize money which he used to buy a car and return to education. On the announcement of the final result of Season 6 Thomas Ames shouted "flipping come on". This was misunderstood by some Polish viewers as 'feck Poland'.
