The 4th Avenue pub in Park Slope, for instance, keeps it real with an old wooden baseball bat hidden just incase things get out of hand. Barkeep Kevin Buckley told the paper, “It’s more to intimidate than anything else. I’ve used it to scare people who are trying to push their way in after we’ve closed.” Other devices around the borough include mace, decorative swords(!) and don't forget about plastic buckets.
Allegedly the fear was put in to the establishments after a series of holdups at Red Hook bars in 2007, but the idea isn't a new one. The paper recalls the story "of a 1970s Fifth Avenue tavern that kept a golf bag behind the bar stuffed with a driver — and a shotgun."
On that note: don't forget to tip your bartender!

Man I hope the bar on 5th is O'Connor's. That place is too awesome.

what, no machete?
If I owned a bar, I would absolutely keep a weapon.
+1 on bucket reference
bar or not, it's best to stay armed. the police don't protect you from anything, they just do the paperwork after you get robbed, raped, stabbed, murdered, etc.
baseball bats are only for attacking the weak and defenseless. or intimidation,
the actual use of a baseball bat involves acting like babe ruth and swinging for a homer, if you just stand there and let the end hit you in the head then your prob dead, but if you step in and get hit by any other part than the end it actually doesnt hurt or cause damage, thats why a baseball itself does a bunt or foul - its not hit correctly. learn this and protect yourself in case your actually attacked with a baseball bat. and any hipster who takes a baseball stand with his elblows up trying to swing a bat like a baseball player is making a pretty stupid mistake if the person hes swinging at has any simple training in martial arts. the rule is always STEP FORWARD, get hit by anything except the end of the bat. in fact any nerd with no fighting experience understands the lever/fulcrum mechanics of swinging a bat.
if you bring out the bat you better have good reason to use it.
