Booked this place for a stag last year - has a pool table, jukebox etc and sleeps 32. It's about a 5 min taxi into the town then. It's some spot.
 
 
As for Carlingford itself, there's a few decent boozers alright and we didn't have too much hassle with our group which was about 30 people. There's no niteclub and no early house as far as I'm aware.

I was on a stag in Westport last year - great spot. Would definitely recommend it.
Stayed in some bar/hostel type place with a grumpy owner who was also quite the character.

Dunnings I'd say. An absolute headcase that fella!
 
That was the one! Yeah he's some man. Ideal set up there for a stag really.

It was a perfect set up for a stag but he was known to run lads out of it for no particular other than he just didn't like the look of them LOL. It was on the go for years, was Mayo's first internet cafe too! Sold up now though. It's still a pub but I'm not sure if they still do the B&B. 

Dunnings was a grand spot especially if you weren't too fussy about the standard of accommodation.
Stayed in it a few times,owner was alright but could see it wouldnt take much for him to freak outLOL
Early house as well so that always helps 

The owner passed away last week Cry

An absolute character and unintentionally funny. One of the trip advisor reviews:

After mistakenly choosing this dive because of it's central location, I decided to have lunch even though there were a few football teams rowdily drinking outside and in. After going downstairs to the restaurant I patiently waited for 10 minutes while the over-worked server moved tables after a large group left - I helped her. The Burger Bun dissolved upon the first few bites, fries were dry and awful, and the salad had literally a tblsp of THICK Mayo (?) dumped on the dry lettuce leaves. I couldn't finish either the fries, brgr, or salad and just wanted to leave. The waitress told me that she couldn't get me the bill (?!) and that I had to go upstairs to the pub to get it. After waiting another 5 minutes just to get the bill (!) for the disastrous lunch that I DIDN'T even eat, the owner (rudest man I've ever met in my life) started swearing at me in a loud voice yelling, "What's your problem? Then started screaming at the top of his lungs over the bar full of people - and slurring his words (probably drunk?) I was almost speechless, and after attempting to tell him my misfortunes, started swearing at me in the most offensive language possible. I stood there waiting for my change, then to top things off the other bartender ripped me off and wouldn't give me my change!!! I've never been so ticked off with EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of a dining experience in my life!! Funny cause when I asked MANY locals they said, "O - why on earth did you go THERE?! That owner is horrendous and swears and screams at all his customers!! So, at least the locals all know about this piece of work. lol. Unbelievable how ppl like this even stay in business. Please don't waste your time, money or energy. Places and owners like this should be shut down.

LOL

Whatever you do, don't make it obvious that you are on a stag. It's full of class small pubs. PJ O'Hares is a late bar, so is Taaffe's but if 40 of you all rock up to either of them past 8 or 9 you have no chance. Pub crawl during the day but then set up shop in one of the above and stay there. O'Hares does good food too.

If you happen to be staying in McKevitt's Hotel, they've a 'disco' and serve late.

You are on a golf trip, not a stag!!! Wink

Carlingford's a great spot, the pubs are literally a stone's throw away from each other. Can't remember the name of this place, but it's up the hill to the right of Taaffe's. Any way, a very local type of pub, and about 12 of us went in. No problem getting served, but we were advised to keep the noise down as the locals were watching RTE Nationwide on the TV LOL

As some one mentioned above, get in early and set up shop in a place before 8 or 9. With that large a crowd though, I can see you getting hassle at times.

Lad I know from work is getting married so his dual best men and are in the process of organising his stag.

We all got invited to a whatapps group, and one the guys (Gay as Christmas) in it suggested (even though the best men had already said we were planning on Galway)
"Why don't we go to Kerry as we can do a nice tour of the ring "

He was rightly told that this was a stag weekend not a old lady holiday

I was on a Stag in Galway and the lad getting married was made wear a Union Jack suit. Everything was decked out in the Union Jack. The suit jacket, the shirt, the tie, the trousers, the socks, the shoes. There was even a Union Jack bowler hat. Walking up the town in the middle of the day and the amount of looks he was getting. Sitting in a pub and you could see some lads looking over and it obvious they weren't happy about it. A few lads started saying it then as the day wore on and more drink was taken. He went home about 6ish to get changed because if he wore it out for the night there is no doubt in my ind he would have got killed!

Pint 1 - feel like a big lump of aids. wretching.
pint 2 - still a struggle
pint 3 - starting to feel human

pint 5 with big feed - feel like sh*t again need a nap.
few shots/shorts and another poo - back in the game

Cue various other ups and downs over the next 10 hours boozing.

I thought Carlingford was brutal for a stag. Nowhere stayed open late on the Friday and even on the Saturday there is only one place that could even loosely be described as a nightclub. The place is claustrophobically small although there’s fook all to see anyway. One of the boozers was alright admittedly and had a pool table but there was nothing else going on. Plus by pure chance, my missus’ Mam was in town for the Saturday evening with a couple of her pals which, while not strictly the fault of Carlingford per say, was still a load of bollox from my perspective.

I like a bit of a drunken exploration around the city centre bars during the afternoon to take in a few of the sights and stay lively on the toes. Preferably in a relatively exotic or cosmopolitan surrounding. Carlingford fulfils neither of those criteria.

While not wanting to rain on your party, which it almost certainly literally will, it’s a terrible location and you’re going to have a poxy time. All the best
