Lads is there any need to leave these shores for a Stag party? Which town are you most likely not to get arrested in, whilst sinking to the lower levels of depravity? Recommendations, previous experience all welcome |

The Foundry is one of Leinster's premier nightclubs in terms of size and reputation, it's packed every Saturday night without fail. Tullow Street is the golden mile of pubs in Carlow Town Centre, basically there are 10+ pubs along the strip whether it's on the left or right side of the road. There is also a Casino that stays open until 6.00 am every morning, so you'll find no shortage of getting a late drink down there. Carpenters, Reddys, Raceys and Teach Dolmain (great dinner menu too) are at the top of the strip, these pubs are classic old school bars where some of the best pints in Carlow are served. As you walk further down into the Town Centre, you will see The Med Bar and The Barracks both are for the more mature crowd, especially the classy Med Bar. Scraggs (best pub in Carlow for all ages) Tullys and Levs (younger crowd but very cheap drink) O'Loughlins (Rugby Bar with very nice pints) and the hidden gem The Tavern is a top spot for pints just on the lower end of the strip. There are also some lovely restaurants and takeaways etc for your convenience! Plenty to do during the day away aswell, it all depends what you would have in mind if it's not drinking  The Talbot, Dolmen Hotel, Seven Oaks etc are all top notch hotels too! I also have numbers for B&B's that do packages for Stags ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

Depends on what you like I suppose. I loved the Aran Islands, but some lads would hate it as it does not have a nightclub.
Maybe you should outline the sort of things you are looking for and what sort of age group the lads are and what they like to do on a stag. ------------- AKA pedantic kunt |

Dingle is a top place for a stag. Plenty of hens and stags knocking around down there at weekends coupled with beautiful scenery and lots of pubs it's a great spot.
Only downside is it can be a hell of a drive.
I second Carlow, was there on a stag nearly three years ago. Good craic eventually.
Only downside was we were knocked back for being in fancy dress but I would put that down to one or two lads acting the maggot on other boozers and then word spread amongst the door staff via the mic system. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class."

Johnny Houghs in Banagher in Offaly - one of the best pubs ever - great town and on the shannon so get a boat while you are at it. I shared a house with a stripper for a year and at weekends she was often doing call outs for stags - herself and another girl made a fortune doing stags in some of the quieter irish towns.

| I was in Galway for two stags and wouldn't be top of my list. It was a 3hr bus journey for us too and that didn't help as we were half cut getting off the bus but its a c u n t of a drive. Was in Kilkenny for a couple of stags also and even though it was also a 3hr journey it was well worth it. Loads of great pubs close together and loads of hen nights there, even though gangs of women just annoy me generally unless they are on the end of my knob. Clonakilty is a good spot for a stag although I thought the women were scarce enough there. One stag I wasn't really looking forward to because it's close enough to me was in Dingle. It turned out to be the best stag I was ever on. Craic was mighty and drank a heap of pints in Dick Macks that night with some fine American women. Sometimes I guess you don't have to look too far from home to have a good night |

Feck yeah, I just remembered - 19 of us hired three boats from Banagher for a stag. Absolutely brilliant craic. We went down the way rather than up the way, but still. If you went up, you could go to Athlone for a night out. If you go down, there are a few places with nice enough pubs (Terryglass, Killaloe etc). We were away for three or four days - if you only go for one or two, it might not suit so well, but if you are going for a few days, it is great craic. Edit: I should add, it wasn't even that expensive. I think it worked out about €150 per person, for the boat hire for four days. Given that there was no need to pay for accommodation, it worked out as great value. -------------

I like the boat idea dave, not being stuck in one place unless your haven the craic, but your talking about lads locked getting on and off a boat & B. Lads driving a boat while locked is it not a disaster waiting to happen, no fatalities on your trip no? |

Well, you tend to be a little bit hungover during the day - so you don't actually drink that much. Also, they don't go that fast. There is always one or two sober enough lads too, so it's grand. Plus, you obviously have to moor them at night - we tended to tie up by about seven or eight o'clock before going drinking properly. They are easy enough to get in and out of too. Over the four nights we were away, out of 19 of us, not one lad fell in the water (albeit I absolutely fecked my knee up on the last night in a dance-off related injury when we gatecrashed some girl's 30th birthday party in a pub in Terryglass). In terms of the deposit, the only thing we suffered was a lost anchor. No idea how that happened but it was only about €20 extra each, so not much. I'm not sure I'd recommend it if you are only going away for one or two nights, but if you are going for a bit longer (say, over the August bank holiday weekend) then it definitely makes sense (albeit it is probably a fair bit pricier in August than it is in March, which is when we did it, two years ago). -------------

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure when they start hiring the boats out. I know when we did Paddy's weekend a couple of years back, it was the first weekend they rented the boats that year. They may not be available until that weekend - although of course I suppose money talks and if you said you wanted to hire three boats (we hired two 6+2 berth ones and an 8+2 berth one) it would probably come in around €2,500 for 20 of you, so I'd say they'd make it work.

A mate of mine from Switzerland is having his stag in Dublin in November. Being from Dublin I've never had the need to book anywhere to stay here but his mate was on to me looking for some info on somewhere decent to stay, they don't really want a hostel but a basic hotel will do. Also want to keep them out of temple bar for the weekend. All stags I've been on have been outside Dublin so had never really had to consider having problems getting into places. I reckon there'll be around 12-15 people going. Never really see stags outside temple bar is that because they aren't welcome? ------------- FAIlure Good shot, lovely ............ oh good jaysus |

Stay away from Stag companies. Total rip off. They offer sh*te like VIP treatment in a nightclub. Would you ever f**k off. You get to skip 2 lads in the queue and a table is reserved. Horrendous waste. They offer a free shot in a pub. It's in a pub that nobody would chose to go into. They get backhanders from the sh*te pub.

It's far better to go abroad, either to the UK or a city on the continent. You'll get flights as cheap as a train here, accomodation for half the price, drink for half the price and no hassle getting into pubs or clubs. Was in Prague for one last summer: Flights €80
3 Nights in a rented apartment €80 each
Bus to/from Airport €30
Drink - not much at €1.50 each & food the same
If you're going somewhere here you should look into renting a house or apartment(s) and split the costs. All you want is a bed and a shower really so no point paying €100+ each a night for a few hours kip.

| Yes High Street would be your best bet for drinking around the bookies. Collage Street for late evening then. The Grand would be the best place for you to end up Rossi. Good Guinness in the front bar and most times a rebel band on there. Nightclub wouldn't be outstanding but the DJ in the bar keeps the craic going for the lads and lassies there. Crypt is full of stuck up ****s most times and f**k all atmosphere there |

| Only been to the Crypt a few times but I've always enjoyed it, I much prefer the Grand though. |

| Town is hoping every weekend. Sunday night will probably be even busier than Saturday night. Have a good one |

I second everything said here about the grand. Was down paddys weekend for the football and ended up here both nights and was great spot. Overall found Killarney to be a great town for weekend away will definitely be back down again ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |
