There are three good series of "bar" stories.
Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, Niven's Spaceport Bar stories plus The Oldest Profession, and Asimov's Tales From The White Hart.
I'd do them up as one season of shows, loosely organized like Twilight Zone or Night Gallery.
Lots of room for jokes, latex aliens, music, fun.
If Arthur C Clarke were dead, that sentence would have him spinning in his grave.
