During the dispute, one of the men allegedly used a pool ball to beat the victim in the face and head as the two other men punched him in the face.
The suspects took $300 and a Boost mobile phone from the victim's pocket before fleeing the bar, police said.
They are described as a 6-foot-tall black male between the ages of 25 and 30 with a stocky build, a 5-foot-5-inch-tall black male between the ages of 25 and 30 wearing all black clothing, and a Hispanic man wearing a white tank top.
