This is an issue for a third party to resolve based on the following:

This is an issue that needs to be fixed by Google. Chrome is currently using an older API that always hides the menubar on all displays. To fix this, the Chrome application would need to adopt OS X’s newer API (available in OS X Lion and later) for per-display fullscreen windows.

Please let us know whether that helps you resolve the issue.

Please be sure to regularly check new Apple releases for any updates that might affect this issue.
