That room would've been designed for 40psf. Don't fault the wood construction because it was significantly overloaded. Would you design a commercial bar floor for 40 psf? I hope not.

Oh, and there was an additional pounding effect here, from the beers.
Not to mention that a few took the invitation to drop in way too literally.
In all seriousness though, I wonder why the floor below did not fail too with 9 feet of drop? Slab-on-grade?
