The short answer is that you need a theme suited to your needs, so either pick one that already has a bar with some options on it or build your own one.
Then you need to add, in the theme, the code for dropdown menus to work. How? It will depend on the menu you choose.
You can make dropdown menus using just CSS; a good resource to find some good pointers (or even complete solutions) is
A list apart.
Or you can make dropdown menus using javascript. If you want a recommendation, my most recent one is go after
mygosuMenu. It's lean, clean, fast and effective. Ah, and also easy to configure.
You can see a live example
in this site. At first you'll see nothing. Log in with user: testuser, password: testuser. Now you'll see the menu. The site is just one third of the way done, so pay no attention to the rest, save for the menu.
Either way, you'll need to work a bit, but I can assure you it'll be a fun process.
Cheers.
