You're in a tough spot. You are going to have to accept that fighting means getting hit, and that you might even get hurt when you win. That part is pretty much non-negotiable. Also, since there's more than one of them, the odds are going to be very, very tough to overcome.
I'd say yes - take some lessons. Tell the instructor you're there to learn to protect yourself and listen to what he says. Train hard, be strong, and accept that the only particular medicine for this problem is being able to win. You won't come out of it unscathed, but if you're smart, you will come out of it a winner.
In the mean time, I'm going to make two recommendations. First, start carrying a bottle of Visine. The original kind, not a knock-off or a different formula. You work at a bar, and I'm assuming these guys show up to drink, too. Hit their drinks with a good squirt of Visine, and they'll get a serious case of upset stomach. It won't win any fights for you by itself, but it'll send them to the bathroom for sure - and it'll keep them there.
No one likes to be seen hugging the toilet, so there's a strong chance they'll just leave. This was one of the things I used to do to get people to leave without fighting if I thought they were going to be pains in the ass. If violence wasn't justified, just make 'em sick as a dog. In a bar, everyone immediately assumes they just can't hold their liquor and you're in the clear.
Of course, there's always the possibility that you want to take things up a notch. That's where the second suggestion comes in. Juice one of them with the Visine and make sure he goes to the bathroom alone. Follow him in there, and when he's busy puking out his lungs, mash him in the head with something heavy. If you knock him out, make sure to leave him laying on his side so he doesn't die.
It's barbaric and pretty illegal in most places, but it's one of the better ways I know of to ambush.
All of the above is strictly for information purposes, and was designed to show you how silly fighting of this type is. Your best bet is really to take your case to the police, especially the whole reconstructed jaw issue.
