5) The juke box (don't mess with the tunes)
6) The piano player

My butt, teeth and structural integrity by applying kinetic motion to my lower limbs and skeedaddle out of there, you can have the girls and the beer …

The fresh untouched appetizer on the next table

Unless the Applebees near you is a lot different from the ones around here, I'm not sure this is an option in the types of bars that host brawls…

Been to a few bars in my youth, but never one that actually had a brawl--or some of the choices presented.

So many good choices…do you include these various choices as different point value objectives in a tavern or bar brawl miniatures game? And which one gets the most points?

I think they are listed in descending point order.

I am going with the general thread in saving your butt comes first

Followed, of course, by female bartenders

religon19 May 2012 6:38 a.m. PST

According to the world's foremost expert on the subject, Bobby Bare, one should save the eyes, nose and teeth. And you know, I guess that makes me the winner.

Lou from BSM19 May 2012 6:40 a.m. PST

Other… you MUST save the single malt scotch, at all costs!!

My beer, and the malt scotch

7, of course

mythos195219 May 2012 8:25 a.m. PST

Lou is right, save the single malt.

SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER19 May 2012 8:28 a.m. PST

10) The single malt.

Willtij19 May 2012 8:32 a.m. PST

8 for sure especially if they be nachos!

Always save the bar maid regardless of looks. She has access to the liquor and beer!!! Been sober 10 years now and I still think that's the only way to go.

I still want to meet the guy that buys the pickled hogs feet. I grew up in a bar, and remember the big old jar on the bar. I never in my life saw anyone eat them. But, according to my grandfather and father they were a big seller.
But that was in New Jersey close to the Pine Barrens. Maybe it was the Jersey Devil incognito.

Many years back I was having a drink with a friend at the Lion's Head, a venerable bar in Greenwich Village, where once Dylan Thomas damaged his liver.

Down the other end of the bar a drunk started wrestling with another patron. No one paid any attention, though when the pair bumped another patron he joined in. It was all in slow motion, gradually creeping along the bar and involving more people as it went. When the chap next to us joined the scrum, my friend and I drained our drinks, left a tip on the bar and walked out.

So our answer was 10 – our butts.
