About 2.00pm on Saturday, the 61 year old man was at a club on Harward Road Griffith when he became argumentative, making threats against staff, and had to be kicked out.
Later that evening around 11pm, he once again tried to get into the club.
Challenged by a staff member at the doorway, an argument once again ensued.
Griffith police say the man then produced an "improvised" weapon and continued to make further threats to staff.
Staff locked and secured the building as the man hung around outside, leaving shortly afterwards.
Police arrested him a short time later at his home, taking him to the station for charging.
