    Jaysus, lads. I was always a big fan of Carrick but it's years since I've been there - has it gone downhill that much?

    Nah its fairly popular, one of the top hen and stag towns in Ireland actually. I'm not a fan of clubbing and its all my age group want to do so I have negative associations with going to Carrick :D Its my local big town

    Am easy though, honestly. I have a job now too so I can actually fund travelling!

    I've been to 2 hen weekends in Carrick. The amount of sleeze in that big hotel/club in the middle of the town was just disgusting. Groping all over the place no matter how many death stares I gave the men.
    And the state of the streets after the club was just gross. Worse than Temple Bar on the worst Saturday night.

    Also I got lost on the way down there from Belfast. :rolleyes:

    I don't get the attraction from the rest of the country for a hen/Stag weekend in Carrick of all places. I don't mind the town on the odd occasion (haven't been in about 4 years now) but there aren't a huge variety of pubs and agreed on club. Hate it (although I hate clubs in general anyways)

    Give me Westport for a stag do if you're going to the west. Brilliant town and savage craic.

    It's a really great town for a night or two away alright.

    Cosy's and the clocktower (I think it's called that) are my fave places.

    I drank many a pint in The Oarsman. I'm not into night clubs really - I prefer to sit and yap. If i want loud music then I'll find a live band that do classic rock.
