Look at the top bar on your screen.
Move your mouse over that bar...
aim a bit to the middle of the screen...
see the menu appearing there?

I have found this thread because my menu bar was also (and really!) missing. (So not the typical ubuntu feature problem. But yes, I'm running Ubuntu.) Searching the internet indicated that there may be some kind of compatibility problem between Qt and the graphics driver.

For those of you whose problem was not resolved by Bruno's solution you could try restarting the unity panel service. Type in your terminal:

initctl restart unity-panel-service

Best wishes
