I thought about doing an extra tick but the problem is that the line isn't applicable to all bars, only the "Weight" category. Is it possible to have a line starting on the axis and ending after Weight?

Here's the MWE:

pgfplotstableread[row sep=\,col sep=&]{

    simname     &   default &   rmat    &   cshell  \

    Weight      &   29.1    &   69.2    &   60      \

    F6U         &   57.6    &   156.5   &   120     \

Currently have this:

And I'm looking for this:

You can use another addplot to plot a line. Since the x-coordinates are symbolic, normalized coordinates can be used. The corresponding line looks like this:

addplot[red,sharp plot,update limits=false,] coordinates { ([normalized]-1,100) ([normalized]0.5,100) };

[normalized]0 corresponds to first x coordinate (Weight) and [normalized]1 corresponds to second x coordinate (F1L). [normalized]0.5 marks the midpoint between first and second. [normalized]-1 was used to get the xmin.

output:
