In the end Akido will be best, but you won't notice it for at least a year. It will teach you how to walk, how to approach others, how to maintain balance and how to flow through multiple attackers. If you can find an Aki-jujitsu studio it combines akido with ju-jitsu (it's the stuff that steven sagal uses in his movies)
If you want to kick ass fast I recommend a boxing gym (a real one without boxing aerobics) or a place that teaches thai kick boxing. One of the benefits will be that you will quickly learn what it's like to be hit and how to keep fighting even if you've been rocked a few times. Any style that keeps your feet below your waistline (balance) is a good art. Learn to use fists, elbows, and knees.
Groundwork is over-rated when in an unfamiliar surrounding. You don't want to end up on the ground in a bar fight. Especially against multiple opponents. You want to stop a fight before you get taken down. Very few fights take place one on one in a cage.
