I bartend part time and we occasionally have fights. Sometimes it's a small scuffle, and other times blood is flying. My strategy is to try to get things under control from behind the bar by turning the music down and trying to get everyone's attention. If that doesn't work, I come out from behind the bar and yell and shake my finger at them. Usually some of my good customers will step in and help me break it up. If it appears it is not going to break up soon and I see blood, I call the police. It's a small bar in a small town and there's only one officer on duty. I only call him as a last resort. Customers tell me I'm crazy for stepping into the middle of a fight, and others tease me if I call the police. I should mention I work by myself and I'm under 5 feet tall, so it's not like I can throw these guys around. Why can't we all just get along?

Could you spray "cool-down" the fighters with soda water?

I have heard about clubs recruiting councellors for the guys who come in feeling low down to talk and even people to act as punch bags to take in a few knocks. Drinking is bad, by the way, serving even worser.
i think you should take some martial arts lesson, should help, atleast would boost your confidence, police frequenting the bar wont be that great a thing.still its the safest way.

A pool cue to the back of the leg will work. See if one of your regulars wants to be a part time bouncer in exchange offer low priced drinks on their 'night off'

Fire off a shotgun in the air. Pay the $200 fine for discharging a weapon. Patch the roof.

Try a paintball gun! They burn like hell but doesn't injure unless you hit the eyes. Works fantastic here in WV.
