I got some bruises trying to break up a bar fight. I should have stayed out of it.

It's fine but sounds like your trying to narrate instead of tell what happened . instead try,
I got hurt trying to break up two drunk men at the bar, I shouldn't have tried to stop them.

@CoookieMonster I see! Thanks a lot. By the way, does your sentence indicate the two men had a fight without the word 'fight' in your sentence?

@Bunch: The fighting is implied in that sentence, so it doesn't necessarily need to be added.

A little unnatural
@Bunch: Yes, native people who know english would be able understand that the two men were fighting or had a bad disagreement (because you did get hurt)
