Unraveling the Events Surrounding Paul Bissonnette’s Bar Incident

Over the weekend, Bissonnette decided to enjoy a meal at a local Scottsdale restaurant, a place he frequents “three [or] four times a week.” His familiarity with the establishment made the ensuing chaos even more shocking. During his visit, he noticed a disturbance in the bar area, which he later described in his X video, shared on November 25.

“At one point, there was a bit of a ruckus going on in the bar,” Bissonnette explained. He recounted that a group of intoxicated golfers were causing trouble, which led to escalating tensions. “They [asked] one guy to leave, and one guy kept getting in the manager’s face and put his hands on him. And that went on probably for about 30, 45 seconds.” This description paints a vivid picture of the scene as it unfolded, highlighting the disruptive behavior of the group.

After witnessing the harassment of the restaurant’s manager, Bissonnette felt compelled to intervene. He stated, “I just grabbed the guy’s arm,” and firmly warned, “Sir, if you continue to harass and assault the staff, we’re gonna have problems.” This act of courage, however, was met with aggression as the group of golfers “started chucking,” according to Bissonnette.

The situation escalated rapidly, as the NHL veteran recalled. “It escalated extremely quickly,” he mentioned, detailing how he engaged in physical confrontations both inside the restaurant and outside in the parking lot. “Got taken down a couple of times. Got boot fked to the head three times.” His account reveals the intensity of the altercation and the extent of the violence that ensued.
