A shocking incident at Melbourne bar, Bar 20, sparked by a rude request for beer has left everyone stunned, with the now infamous "flying chair" knockout being watched by over 27 million people worldwide.
On Friday night, a man stormed into the King Street venue, accompanied by his friend, and immediately started causing trouble. When the bartender refused to serve them due to their aggressive behavior, the patron snapped, demanding to be served despite using explicit language. The request was so shocking that it made the bar manager rethink serving him, prompting an eight-minute ejection from the premises.
However, in a bizarre twist, as one of the men walked out of the bar, he returned to apologize for his friend's behavior, only to have a chair hurled at him by his companion. The wooden furniture smashed into his back, knocking him unconscious while security guards watched on in shock.
According to Bar 20 co-owner Michael Trimble, this chaotic incident was never expected and left everyone stunned. "It's crazy," he said of the eight-minute ejection, which is unusual for a bar ban. Trimble revealed that during the confrontation, one of the men brandished a bollard as a weapon before reconsidering his actions.
The CCTV footage from the incident has garnered over 27 million views in just 24 hours, catapulting this King Street tussle into global sensation status. For Trimble, it's been a memorable experience, particularly since he received the chair that caused all the commotion and now displays it as memorabilia in his popular Melbourne nightspot.
In the aftermath of the incident, one thing remains clear: such incidents should never be taken lightly, especially in establishments meant for socializing. The true identities of those involved remain unknown, but their actions are forever etched into internet history.

... guy literally gets knocked out by a flying chair 
... and now the bar owner is like "oh yeah, let's display it as a trophy" 
... what kind of message does that send? Like, is he serious about showing everyone that this kinda aggression can be celebrated in his club? 
... and 27 million views later, people are still talking about how crazy it was 
... but at the end of the day, someone got hurt, and that's what matters 
. Maybe they'll get some new security measures or something? 
Either way, it's definitely a wild story that's gonna be remembered for a while! 
. Anyway, glad no one was seriously hurt, but this is definitely going to be a viral moment for years to come 
i know some ppl might be like "dude, you got what was comin' to ya" but the fact that his friend threw the chair at him in the first place is just crazy 
and now they're showin it off as a meme in the bar 
anyway, gotta give props to the bartender for stickin up for themselves and not servin that toxic energy 
the whole thing's just super wild tho 
. Who would've thought a simple request for beer could lead to a chair flying at someone's back? 
That's insane! I'm not sure what's more shocking, the fact that someone got knocked out by a chair or the guy who thought it was a good idea to brandish a bollard as a weapon 
. The fact that one of the culprits is now showing off the chair in their bar like it's some kind of trophy is just bizarre 
. anywayz, gotta say, hope those involved in this drama get their act together and dont make another scene... safety first, ppl!
