Stag party - for lads based in the North.

Jim Stynes · 12-09-2015 8:05pm #1

Looking to get a stag sorted for my cousin. We are based around North Armagh area and would be after something with 2 hours away on a bus. I was looking at Kilkenny but it is a 3 hour drive away. It would be serious craic on the bus on the way down. Complete horror show of a drive on the way home though! Carlingford was mentioned also. Been in it plenty of times but seems very small.

Carrick on Shannon has been mentioned also but I've never stepped foot in the place before.

Any ideas lads or recommendations on where we could go?

It's around March time as well so would be great if we could match it up with some sort of event that was on at that time.

It'll be a hoot

Amsterdam maybe, an hour to the Airport, a few minutes in the train and off you go.

Don't come down here, it's far too expensive for you guys. I would recommend the likes of Liverpool.

Brought my brothers stag to Carrick.
Good crack to be had there, plenty of stags and hens about, pubs welcome in the groups.
We did indoor shooting and archery in Leitrim Village which is close by, not fancy but good crack.

Get 100 cans of harp, go to a nearby field and fight and experiment sexually.

Good for a budget and cuts down on travel time.

Carrick on Shannon Jim.
Was best man a few years back and 16 of us rented a boat out for 4 days. Stopped at every pub with a front door. Wild craic.
Would do it again in the morning.
We are 'north armagh' as well. Drive down was grand
No problems with groups pulling up to pubs either. PM me if you need details etc

fvck the driving, the train allows everyone to get pissed and is a public area with poles which you can handcuff naked grooms to.

Isn't Sligo selling itself as Stag Central these days?

winnie the schtink · 15-09-2015 10:42pm

what about syria?

Reiver · 16-09-2015 12:50pm

Go down to south Kerry for the weekend! Places like Sneem, Waterville would be a bita craic.

Either that or Inismaan. Achill Island could be a bit wild too.

Up north, around Carlingford looks nice, you'd have your pick between Dundalk and Newry. I've heard Bangor can be a bit of craic too.

Galway is great, I was at a stag there a few months back and we had a great time. I hear good things about Carrick on Shannon but haven't been and I think it's quite small.

Buckfast W · 16-09-2015 1:09pm

Carrick would be savage for a stag I was there in July.
I stayed in Acara houses which is just across the bridge opposite Glancys. Great fun with a nice relaxed atmosphere in the pub and an early drink if you want.

Head over to Glasgow.

Ask for a Glasgow kiss.

Within Glasgow itself the term 'Gorbals kiss' is often used, referring to the most dangerous area of Glasgow.

It is hypothesised that within Gorbals it is known as a Crown Street kiss; and on Crown Street it is called a Number 73 kiss; and at Number 73 it is known as Steve's kiss. Steve, however, calls it whatever the **** he wants to.

I'm best man to my brother and arranging his stag for carrick this summer- looking around online and can't find any one day boat rentals for a big group.
Any chance you would have the details of where/who you rented the boat from? Would really appreciate it.

I'm mid thirties,so most of childhood gang are at 'marryin age'.Naturally,I've been on many stags in the past seven or eight years,at least one a year and I've never ever heard of Carrick on Shanonn being vented as a stag destination idea.Plenty of posters have mentioned it though.I've rolled through the place a few times,it doesn't scream out as a stag place to me.Back to the op,have you considered Waterford? It's crawling with single young women,nightlife is great and with the right research it's possible to get pints 24/7.
