How to Stop a Bar Fight
Introduction
It is never pleasant when a bar fight breaks out near you, especially if your friends or family are involved. However, bar fights can be stopped with relatively little drama or damage. Typically, bar fights are nothing more than intoxicated people overreacting with a punch to an otherwise meaningless situation.
Instructions
Difficulty: Challenging
Steps
1
Step One
Try to calm the situation down before it comes to blows. Usually, bar fights break out after quite a bit of yelling, pushing and shoving. This is the ideal time to stop a bar fight. By simply getting in between the instigators, and attempting to talk to each of them calmly and rationally, you can usually prevent a bigger fight from breaking out.

Step Two
If punches are thrown, you need to stop the participants and prevent others from joining in the fight. If you are trying to break up a fight, you usually know one of the participants. Tackle the person you know and get him/her away from the scene as soon as possible. Once the main participant is out of the picture, the rest of the fighters tend to stop as well. After all, most of them probably don't know why they are fighting!

Step Three
When all else fails, call the police or bar security. The threat of getting kicked out of the bar, or worse, arrested, is usually enough to stop a fight.
Tips & Warnings
- If you feel that your personal security is in danger, from beer bottles, pool cues, punches, etc., skip to step three and call the police or security right away. If you are the one trying to stop the fight, you don't want unintentionally to get involved.
- Getting in between the two participants before punches are thrown can be dangerous too, especially if you don't know some or all of the people. Make it known right away that you don't want to get involved, and that you want everything to calm down without incident.
