"One minute everyone was a having a great time chatting away about this and that and then two guys started arguing at the bar over a bag of dry roasted nuts.

The fight spilled out into the street, prompting dozens of neighbours of the club to call police. Police confirmed about 50 people were involved in the brawl.
Seven men, aged between 18 and 49, were arrested on suspicion of committing public order offences. Five have been bailed and two have been issued with fixed penalty notices.
