According to reports, the victim had stopped in the area to pick up a passenger when he unknowingly became caught up in the robbery.
The surveillance footage allegedly shows two masked gunmen entering the business shortly after 1:00 a.m. and forcing several people who were gathered outside to move back inside at gunpoint.
At the time, the driver was reportedly standing near the entrance of the establishment.
The nearly two-minute video shows the suspects taking control of the bar while ordering patrons and staff toward the rear section of the building.
Reports indicate that five men, including the driver, were forced to move to the back while the robbers searched for cash and valuables.
One of the suspects was reportedly seen searching behind the counter while the second gunman monitored the surroundings and kept watch for approaching vehicles or police officers.

Moments later, the driver was reportedly escorted toward the front of the building by the armed men.
The footage allegedly shows the suspects demanding money from the driver while he repeatedly indicated that he had no cash.
The situation quickly escalated, and gunshots were reportedly heard moments later.
The victim collapsed near the entrance of the establishment while the suspects immediately fled the scene.
Emergency responders were later summoned, but the man was pronounced dead.
Investigators have not yet disclosed the victim's identity pending notification of family members.
Authorities are also working to determine whether the attackers managed to steal money or valuables before fleeing.
The Jamaica Constabulary Force has launched an investigation into the fatal robbery and is reviewing surveillance footage as detectives attempt to identify and locate the suspects.
The incident has sparked concern among residents and transportation operators, particularly rideshare drivers, who often work late-night hours and may unknowingly encounter dangerous situations while making pickups.
Police are urging anyone with information that could assist the investigation to contact the nearest police station or Crime Stoppers.
The investigation remains ongoing.
