Cornered by a group in a bar: what to do?

Cornered by a group in a bar, your first weapon is staff: go to the counter and explicitly ask the manager for help. 87% of venues have legal obligation to intervene. If staff refuses, exit immediately as a group toward lit street.

Tactiek stap voor stap

1Go to counter, say loud: 'Help me, this group harasses me'.
2Film the group openly (deterrent effect).
3Ask strangers to leave with you (group effect).
4NEVER go to bathroom or back room.
5Exit via main entrance, never an emergency exit alone.

Methode Eli & Yehouda Avikzar — Tegen meerderen: nooit frontaal de confrontatie aangaan. De zwakste schakel identificeren, een bres slaan, vluchten. Overleven is geen overwinning — het is de uitweg.

Juridisch kader

Venue managers have a means-based safety duty (French case law 2003). Refusing to intervene in proven harassment triggers civil and criminal liability.
