This is the moment screaming diners scattered as a brawl broke out in a new £1m city centre restaurant in Manchester.
Two men are seen grappling with each other on Saturday, May 22, before sending champagne glasses flying and slamming into tables and chairs at Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lystra Adams’ Boujee Restaurant and Bar in Bridge Street, Manchester.
Eyewitnesses claim the brawl broke out after a bouncer approached a male customer who was flouting Covid-19 regulations at Manchester’s ‘most Instagrammable’ venue – which only opened its doors on Monday, May 17.
The punter had wanted to ‘sing and dance’, and was left upset after being told he couldn’t, according to senior staff at Boujee.
A group of ‘shaken’ women told Manchester Evening News they had to pluck shards of glass from their ‘legs and feet’ after the fight.
Manchester’s new £1million Boujee Restaurant and Bar is the latest business venture from The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lystra Adams, 44.
Greater Manchester Police were called to the club at 7.30pm on Saturday, May 22 . There have been no reported arrests.

Ritchie Bagnall, operations manager for Boujee Restaurant and Bar, explained to The Mirror: ‘We were busy, but operating within government guidelines, and sadly had one customer who wanted to dance and sing, and wasn’t happy to be told no.
‘It was incredibly stressful for our staff, who have put their hearts and souls into getting this opening right and we’re disappointed they were subjected to such behaviour.
‘One of our professional door team, provided by independent team Compact Security, was put in a really difficult situation and we can clearly see that he did everything he could to defuse the very heated guest.
‘That guest was asked to leave and peace was restored but we are hugely saddened that this happened in our venue.
‘We strive to provide a fun, professional and safe environment to our guests at all times and we will do everything we can to ensure that this never happens again.’
