Diane Elcock needed hospital treatment after being attacked by two men and a woman while serving behind the bar of the Trumpet Inn in High Street, Bilston, on Sunday night.
A 72-year-old man who went to Miss Elcock's aid was also attacked, she said.
Miss Elcock, 50, who also works as a teacher at a primary school in West Bromwich, has been helping her partner Musti Bouameur run the well-known jazz venue for the past 12 years.
She said she now lived in fear they would return.
The incident happened at about 7.30pm. Earlier in the afternoon she said she had asked a middle-aged man and a younger woman, who had previously been barred from the pub, to leave.
"I told them it would be better that they drank somewhere else, and then went out the back to put some distance between them and myself," she said.
"When I went back, they had gone, and I thought that was the end of it."
