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

    Is there another Sligo because the one I know is a sh1te hole full of inbreds with small minded village mentalities.

    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.

    my stag there at the end of the month

    Dublin now that the bars and clubs actually want your business.

    As opposed to Carrick-on-Shannon in Galway?

    Not everyone knows where it is. I didnt until last year. Keep your "smart" comments to yourself. Dropped on the head as a child were you? :rolleyes:

    Back OT, I know you said somewhere in Ireland, but with flights for around €30 per person return, I think a trip to Liverpool is a good call! One of the best nights out and pubs etc. open until 6/7 in the morning! :D

    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

    I thought about west Clare for mine
    Good bit of craic down that end and a bit of surfing in Lahich
    Ended up in Edinburgh but I hear you about getting people to travel
    Had a huge attrition rate

    Went on a stag there a few years ago, absolute kip and we were met with the 'regulars only' mantra in most places. Only time I ever stayed up all night just to get the first train outta there. I'll never be back!

    we all know the real capital is cork, lol, but hey dont even think bout going there for stag. there are only one or 2 good decent pubs, and more then likely with a gang of lads, you will have no hope in getting into the pubs, even i go out with 3 other mates, to my regular pubs an we often get stopped so a stag wud be worse, plus you wont even be allowed in some pubs dressed up,

    im going to galway in may for a stag, great city to go to for piss up. well enjoy where ever u end up. just do go down south

    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
    Letterkenny is a good spot to go out in. Doubt very highly that they push up prices if you're on a stag.

    Out of your choices I would pick Cork, Kilkenny or Belfast. Other counties/cities worth a look would be Kerry, Mayo or Galway. Any spots that are good for hen parties are usually good for stag parties too!

    Westport is a good spot, Carrick on Shannon as plenty of others have mentioned is a top spot too, full of pubs and hen and stag parties. Derry is a good town but not for a stag as everything shuts early, you won't get a pint after 1am. Galway speaks for itself, plenty of variety and its always going to be buzzing. Letterkenny is a great spot I don't give a toss what anyone says, and I've never seen anyone raising prices or any of that crap going on, thats more likely to happen in one of the cities.

    Letterkenny or Carrick on Shannon would be my suggestions.

    Trust me they did in Letterkenny... we went there 2 yrs ago....nothing to do during the day. pubs were dead... young kids in the 2 discos... we were ripped off by 2 hotels

    Nothing to do during the day? You could have went paintballing, go carting, bowling, cinema, ect.

    Dead pubs? If you had the stag on the weekend, thats highly unlikely.

    Westport popular with many stag and hen parties.

    Easy to get to - N 5 now much improved, and it is on the railway line.

    Good selection of restuarants and pubs - including the famous Matt Molloys.

    A lot to do during day - climb Croagh Patrlck - day trips Clare Island or Achill. many excellent beaches etc etc.

    town has a strong tourist trade most of the year, and locals welcome stags and hens.

    Enjoy.

    I would suggest Westport & Galway. Westport has that buzz like Galway does. Hard to explain.

    Letterkenny is a smashing spot, was there for a hen a few years back.

    Lifford greyhound track is only a short bus ride away so is good for stuff to do, they have a bar & restaurant - the food's edible but not great.
