Labourer Aaron Babb admitted common assault, disorderly behaviour on licensed premises, and resisting arrest.
The 19-year-old was also ordered to pay £100 compensation to the bouncer and £125 prosecution costs.
Prosecuting advocate Rebecca Cubbon told the court that Babb, who lives in Nursery Avenue, Onchan, was at the Barrack Street nightspot on May 1 at 1.45am.
He was in the smoking area when he got involved in an altercation with another man which resulted in Babb punching him.
Bouncers removed Babb from the premises but he remonstrated with them.
One of the security men was said to have offered a handshake to the teenager but Babb responded by punching him, catching him with a glancing blow to the temple.
He left the area but was later found by police wearing a different T-shirt to the one he had been wearing in the club.
He was initially sent on his way but then after his identity was confirmed he was arrested on Duke Street.
However, Babb tensed up to prevent handcuffs being put on him and further police attended to restrain him.
As he was arrested he said: ’What for? I got assaulted first.’
When interviewed at police headquarters he gave ’no comment’ responses to all questions.
The man who was initially punched by Babb did not want to make a complaint.
The court heard that he has no previous convictions.
A probation report said that Babb had been out with friends from 8pm that night drinking vodka and cola, and when asked how drunk he was on a scale of one to 10 he said eight.
Babb told probation that he had been smoking a cigarette when a man had pushed past him and said something negative to him which had resulted in the first punch.
Babb said he was also punched during the altercation.
The teenager said that he wanted to write letters of apology to the bouncer and police.
He told probation that he had only changed his Tshirt as it had been ripped during the fracas rather than in any attempt to avoid being arrested.
A reference from his employer was handed in by defence advocate Peter Taylor.
Mr Taylor said: ’The assault was a glancing blow to the side of the head, no injury was caused. The resisting arrest was him being unco-operative. A night in the cells has given him time for reflection.’
Deputy High Bailiff James Brooks warned Babb that a similar offence in the future would be likely to result in custody.
He will pay the costs and compensation at a rate of £100 per month.
