My favourite night, in retrospect, was the night of the wild west fight.
I had finished my shift and was stood at the bar enjoying a pint that had been bought for me. Was around 9ish I think.
Pretty busy, few "lads" in but no trouble so far, two guys come up to the bar, and stand either side of me. They both seemed a bit off, but I didn't think much of it really, until one of them picks up his full pint of lager, grabs me by the shoulder and uses me as leverage to swing round and smash the other guy full in the face with the glass.
Then it kicked off, tables turned over, stools thrown, bottles in the air. Police involved and all sorts.
Looking at the ccctv after it looked like an old wild west brawl, but with more polo shirts and less whiskey.

The other nasty fight was after a gypsy funeral.
I actually didn't open my pub for the afternoon because I knew what was coming, but I went over the only pub on cowley road stupid enough to be open and sat in the top bar.
It all started well, then when the owner started asking for tabs to be paid, the men started disappearing, leaving distraught older Irish gypsy ladies refusing to pay tabs. One of the bar lads got a black eye from a 60 yr old woman and it took 6 female police officers to take down one woman the size of a cow who said that "charging for drinks on a funeral was like charging Jesus for the ressurection"
After the women were cleared out and as much money as possible had been collected (not even half) the lads of the group came back and smashed the place up. Quality.

Ha,
You'd weep to see it now mate. I used to love it down there, now it's all student bars horrid take aways. The Zodiac is an 02 academy where you might catch Jane Bugs or a thin lizzy covers band
