It's often bought in bars (4)

I believe the answer is:

soap

(Other definitions for soap that I've seen before include "Bath tablet" , "Cleaning substance - melodramatic TV or radio series" , "Cleansing TV serial drama" , "It has detergent properties" , "Cleaner - long-running TV show" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
