Fights in bars...what would you do?

I'd stay out of it if it was just a fair fight with two people going at it. But I'd try to stop it if one of them was clearly getting badly beaten.
 
If one were to involve oneself with every fight in the pubs round here you'd get little drinking done. Luckily most fights out this way are fists and feet, it's rare to hear of a lethal weapon being used, thankfully. Some of the old farmers can certainly surprise a youngster though i can think of a couple well into their sixties who are still able to do awesome damage due to physical strength and sheer bulk, but both are usually so drunk when they start they tend to miss aim a lot ;) The usual ploy is for the fighters to be ushered away from the bar so someone can nick their drinks whilst they're preoccupied.

get loads more people involved so the bar area clears, then enjoy quick service without any chavs queue jumping TBH

So I've just been in my local Wetherspoons for lunch (I'm off today) when a younger guy started on an older one. I was heading off for a vape past them and no one was stepping in to break up the fight. I pulled the younger guy off who then left and the older guy got back up and back to a fruit machine so I didn't really check how he was. The bar was pretty full but no one else helped apart from one chap who came over and stood there.

Am I silly getting involved? What would you do? Obviously don't know why it started etc but it was 3 on a Monday afternoon in a crowded bar...

Reminds me of Big Gerald who used to drink in a South Bedfordshire pub I frequented. He was like Hodor’s bigger, more articulate brother and could out-drink 5 humans and still walk home in a straight line. Took quite a bit to wind him up, but when some idiot managed it, they got seriously hurt as Gerald would just drag them outside and punch them into the middle of next week.
