Twitterrific, F.lux, Dropbox, Droplr, Battery, and Spotlight.
I like to keep my menu bar simple. I keep track of time and date with Widgets in Safari. F.lux is my favorite app to keep my eyes comfortable late at night. Dropbox lets me know the recently changed files while Droplr lets me have an easier upload process.

Alfred - Launch/do almost anything.
Caffeine - Keep your Mac awake. Pretty menubar replacement found here.
Bowtie - Controls iTunes.
- Add events to iCal quickly without opening up the app.
Skitch - Fast screenshots, use it mostly for the notation feature.
Droplr - Short URL sharing/screenshots tool.
Dropbox - Sync your files.
Divvy - Window management.
Evernote - Notes, save anything.
Transmit - Best FTP client ever.
Littlesnapper - Snaps, mostly used for saving inspiration.

Every app in my MenuBar is used several times per day. There’s no reason for it to be there if it isn’t.
CoverSutra (hidden): A handy and attractive way to control iTunes without ever leaving your current app.
OmniFocus: Perfect for the Getting Things Done® system, but flexible enough for any task management style, OmniFocus helps you work smarter by giving you powerful tools for staying on top of all the things you need to do.
Dropbox: An indispensable utility that allows you to sync your files online and across your computers automatically.
Droplr: The best way to share files from your Mac on the internet. Period.
Caffeine: A is a tiny program that puts an icon in the right side of your menu bar. Click it to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers. Click it again to go back. Right-click (or ⌘-click) the icon to show the menu.
Time Machine: Automatically saves up-to-date copies of everything on your Mac — photos, music, videos, documents, applications, and settings. If you ever have the need, you can easily go back in time to recover anything.
Airport Utility: Allows you to manage and monitor AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express, and Time Capsule base stations.
Clock
Spotlight: The lightning-fast search technology built into Mac OS X that makes it easy to find what you’re looking for, even if you don’t know where to look. (Note: I keep Spotlight in the MenuBar, and use it occasionally, but predominantly use Alfred.)
App descriptions are adapted from the individual product pages. They are not my own words.

Droplr — for shortening links and mostly for sharing quick screen grabs.
Dropbox — saves my life.
TextExpander — saves my fingers.
FastScripts — for quickly executing Applescripts.
Bluetooth — I like to keep in the bar so I know if I am connected to anything.
Battery — Icon only because all I need to know is that a red color in my menubar means I need to find power.
Keychain Access — Allows me to lock my screen when I walk away from my Mac, but I need to keep it ‘awake’.
WiFi — Yep.
Clock — I keep it on military with no weekdays so that I don’t waste too much space.
Spotlight — I would ideally like to rid this, but leave Spotlight active.
