Black Forge Inn<\/a> over the Bank Holiday weekend.<\/p>\nAppalled punters at the Crumlin pub had front-row seats to the MMA-style fight over the weekend as attendees ripped into each other in front of the bar before muscle-bound security came to break up the savage brawl.<\/p>\n
The short 25-second video, which was circulated widely across social media over the long June weekend, begins mid-fight, with four men ripping into each other, thumping each other and pulling each other around, as one man with a backpack fails to keep them apart.<\/p>\n
Broken glass can be seen strewn across the ground, and bar stools overturned, as the camera pans to follow the lads who continue to punch and pull at each other.<\/p>\n

A bouncer quickly put a stop to the fight <\/p>\n
Crowds of people can be seen backing away from the violent tussle in the garden terrace area of the pub, while one man picks up a child and carries them away from the melee – while others look on.<\/p>\n
One man, who was not involved in the scrap as the video began, attempts to pull one of the men away, but is unable to do so. A woman wearing a sun dress then runs in to break up the fracas, which has broken into two separate two-on-twos as the men trade blows and kicks.<\/p>\n
Two bouncers quickly burst into the scene, with one huge security guard, who towered above the young lads, getting one of the men in a headlock, before grabbing a second man also involved in the fight and holding him in a headlock with his other arm.<\/p>\n

People flocked to the comments to praise the “absolute unit\u201d of a bouncer who put a stop to the wrangle.<\/p>\n
“That is some bouncer f**k,” one man penned. “I would love to have him in every pub at least you would be able to sit down without worrying. An absolute unit”.<\/p>\n
Another shared: “The terminator put a stop to that.”<\/p>\n
