        There was a pretty high profile biker bar shooting a bunch of years back in the USA. I think it was two rival biker gangs in a shootout. Just good ol' white people shit.

          At a 'breast-uraunt', no less. The eagles were soaring high that day in America.

            Waco, Texas gunfight Main article: 2015 Waco shootout

            On May 17, 2015, a gunfight among rival biker gangs broke out at a Waco, Texas Twin Peaks restaurant. Nine people were killed and eighteen others were taken to the hospital. A police spokesman expressed anger at the management of the local Twin Peaks, which he said had been less than helpful in dealing with gangs in the past.[30] The next day, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission announced a seven-day suspension of the location's liquor license. Hours later, corporate headquarters announced that it was revoking the location's franchise agreement, saying the location's owner had disregarded warnings from both police and corporate officials in the run-up to the shootout.[31] Later that day, corporate headquarters announced the Waco location would not reopen. The same franchisee also owned a Twin Peaks in Harker Heights, near Fort Hood, but it closed at the end of September 2015.[32]

            On April 2, 2019, all of the remaining criminal cases were dismissed.[33]

            Didn't remember that it was a Hooters style joint.

    Oh shit, I've been to this bar before when visiting a friend. He claimed that it is one of the bars that inspired the design of the bar in 'Sons of Anarchy'. I have absolutely no clue if that is true or not, but it honestly was kind of a shit-hole.
