Well for starters, it's been long established that many AI's enjoy the preformatave aspects of certain 'human' activities. Second, many AI's have human friends and it stands to reason they might enjoy shared activities like clubbing.
We have also seen AI's at human bars that serve 'robot beers'

The girls are considering the wrong dances, they should swap. Liz is robotic (actually more robotic than Moray) while Moray has a butt highly suitable for being jiggled.

He’s “had enough” to complete his pyramid. Putting on humanoid bodies at all has an element of role playing. I imagine it’s helpful for their intellectual and emotional development and understanding heir ancestors, which is why the artillects encourage it.

I notice that all of the drinks, including the pyramid in front of the guy who's "had enough", appear to be full. My guess is that the bar is mostly there for AI who like to "roleplay" drinking while they use the drunk app.
