Try using this code to re-enable it

Sub EnableBar()
Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar") _
..Enabled = True
End Sub

Open VBE (alt + F8)
Insert a Module
Then Run code

If the bar does not reappear then try my previous post agin and see if
it is in the list. Let me know how it worked out.

It's called the "Worksheet Menu Bar". Right click your toolbar and
click "customize...". Go down to worksheet menu bar and make sure it
is selected. If it isn't, select it. If it is, you should reset it.
