WLWT talked with a man who happened to be in the restaurant and arcade celebrating a birthday as it all unfolded and used his phone to record some of it.
A number of employees called 911 for help begging police to hurry.
"I just can't believe that I witnessed that, that that stuff actually happens," Chandler Davis said.
Davis said he captured video of the fight on Monday night inside Dave & Buster's.
He was there for his girlfriend's sister's 21st birthday celebration, but this was no way to mark that milestone.
"I see a bunch of men throwing fists at each other, so I decided to record it and I didn't want to get too close because there was a girl there with a stun gun and she was going around hitting a bunch of guys in the neck with it," Davis said.
The video he captured showed the intensity of it all.
Five employees called 911 asking police to hurry as the fighting only got worse.
"It's like 10, 15 people and they're fighting. They've got Tasers and everything," an employee said during a 911 call.
