This is called "panel", not menubar/toolbar. There are two of them by 
default in GNOME.
You can populate the panels with applets, such as the "menu" applet 
(usually top panel, left), the "window list" applet (usually the botton 
panel), time&date, sound mixer, and so on. You can have more than one 
panels, on any of sides of the screen (top, bottom, left, right).
If you remove the bottom panel by accident, you can create a new one and 
re-populate it with the usually applets.

Normally GNOME is configured in a way so that if one panel is left on 
screen, you cannot remove it.
Therefore, something wrong happened.
Are you able to start "gnome-panel" in order to get going?
