No. Bartenders are behind the bars, prisoners are behind bars.

If you say something like 'The man was behind the bars' you have an ambiguous sentence because the reader does not know which particular bars you are referring to.

No, because it raises the question "Which bars?"
If you say "I like people" the meaning is clear.
If you say "I like the people" the meaning is unclear unless you specify which people.
