It's not unclear at all without the apostrophe, because in German, compound words are written without spaces. If it was indeed a bar that specialized in a drink called "Rosis", it would be spelled "Rosisbar". The space makes it immediately apparent that it's a bar operated by someone called Rosi.

Do you usually use GPT4 to translate from English, or was that just for the example in your comment? Because the translated output highlights the major problem of this learning-through-AI approach: The generated output can just simply be wrong, like it is here (both the Japanese and German).
