Best town for a stag night?

AckwelFoley · 12-01-2011 02:33PM #1

Im having a stag in June, and its going to be a whole weeked affair. I was thinking toward sligo, Limerick or perhaps Cork.

Any ideas? Been to Kilkenny before and while the town is great, would rather somewhere different.... Derry or Belfast?

Want to Keep it in Ireland

Bray. Party capital of Ireland

Why stay it Ireland? Ireland's crap for stag nights, the beer is overpriced and there are no strip clubs worth their salt. I'd suggest Ljubljana or Bratislava.

whiskeyman · 12-01-2011 02:37PM

Carlingford and Carrick can be good for that

petes · 12-01-2011 02:37PM

Westport.

Getting people to go foreign nowadays isnt as easy, and i dont want to put the pressure on people that cant afford it. At least if people are stuck for money they can come down for the second night

Carlow for a stag, indoor carting-> paintballing->bar->niteclub->casino.

Was in a popular bar in Kilkenny for New Years and a guy got bottled by a randomer.

Tallaght.

Carrick on Suir or Tipperary Town, legends of places for a stag.

Dude - im from athlone - a town where 3 people got bottled in the face in the one weekend celebrating holy communion

I was at a stag in Carrick-on-Shannon a few years ago.. best one I've been to. We rented 2 boats between 10 people (they sleep 5 each) - cheaper than a B&B and you can party all weekend at your leisure, as well as boating up & down to stop at the bars along the Shannon.

They're basic enough, but have everything you need.. fridge, cooker, toilets, shower, beds.

Also, Gings bar, just beside the bridge, have a jetty alongside their beer garden. We spent most of the weekend docked up there.

And don't be afraid of damaging the boats - those things are like bumper cars (we tested this theory to the limit). Plus, you won't get pulled by the Guards for boating under the influence.

Belfast is good fun and cheap for going out in.

I'd also recommend Carlingford.

As a Limerick man, I suggest you go to Carrick on Shannon in Leitrim! Went there with the rugby team before and it was brillaint craic! Stags and hens all over the place up there!

Sanjuro · 12-01-2011 02:50PM

I was at a stag last year in Galway. Had a fantastic time. Had everything you need for a stag- plenty of bars, a stripclub, Supermacs, open grates for puking into. Was very reasonable, and we went paintballing during the day for an activity. Couldn't recommend it more.

As opposed to Carrick-on-Shannon in Galway?

And it looks like they don't speak English there either

proon4 · 12-01-2011 02:52PM

Sligo is usually a good spot...plenty of pubs and craic

Sterling contribution there.

With or without the full stop.

oicherider · 12-01-2011 02:57PM

Lahinch without a doubt..

Surfing or Clay Pigeon shooting, no hassle getting into pubs - big enough to have enough variety and small enough not to have to be looking after the gang.. added to that plenty of hens there too

10 out of 10 man

godscop · 12-01-2011 02:57PM

If you have to stay on this island id say Belfast..Great sessions and cheap.

Well smart arse, the OP might have thought yupyup7up was on about the part of Carrick-on-Shannon in Roscommon!!

1867IE · 12-01-2011 02:59PM

Westport is good.

Letterkenny in Donegal still remains the best session ever! Loadsa cheap hotels and B&Bs.

biko · 12-01-2011 02:59PM

You can't go wrong with Belfast.
Derry gets a bit quiet after 7pm.

Yea, i really want to do something to break up the drinking a bit.

We did do surfing on a stag in sligo, and was brilliant.

Clay pigeon shooting involves guns. Not a good idea with the amount of drink we will consume and some of the characters going to this stag!!

Wesport is ok...but trust me stay away from Letterkenny. Its a dive and the prices are crazy when they realise your on a stag.... Most of Donegal is the same

FatherLen · 12-01-2011 03:08PM

i would actually recommend dublin. i am from dublin and this does sway me a bit but i have also been to most places mentioned and while they are all a good laugh, none of them have the variety you get in dublin. except maybe galway.

biko · 12-01-2011 03:21PM

Galway has www.pureskill.ie which is popular with stags.

Thailand, maybe then we can get the old snyper back!
