I am finishing my basement and in the bar area there is a sump pump. I don't get water in the basement so the pump does not get used. Question is, can I drain the bar sink into the sump and redirect the sump drain to the main house drain?? thank you

No. The sump pump is designed for clear water removal only, and dumping anything other than groundwater into the pit will cause ominous smells from whatever is disposed into the bar sink.
The smell would eminate like a garbage can that is never cleaned.
