Stag Locations in Ireland

**galwayhoop** · 08/08/2008, 4:07 PM

I have been lumbered with best man at my cousins wedding. Along with the annoyance of having to pen a speech for the big day I also have to organise a stag. The crowd will be a bit younger than me and most in their late twenties/ early thirties.

I am looking to organize a one night event (absolute maximum of two) in Ireland and we are mostly coming from Galway. Any ideas appreciated!!!

Carlow town isnt a bad shout, plenty of good night spots and its too small for anyone to get lost. I was there at a stag about 2 years ago, had a ball. Spent the satruday afternoon playing snooker, listening to duke box in the basement of a pub, they made us burgers and everything (which I thought was nice).

Went to a mate's stag in Tralee a couple of years ago. It was during the Rose of Tralee festival. Great craic!

Just back from Ennis at the weekend. Might be a bit close to Galway but it was good town for drinking. Pretty high standard of women for the singletons too. Drink pretty cheap, and you can't argue with getting cans of bulmers over the counter. The Queens is the maddest/ wierdest spot I've been to in a long time. The one caveat, I'd say some of the pubs could be shady enough, but no reports of any trouble spotted at all.

The brother's wedding was in Letterkenny. Mad craic altogether. Great town.

check out the Rally School of Ireland in Monaghan, its a great day's fun and Monaghan town is great for a bit of craic on a sat nite. The Pig or the Crazy Camel and then the Forum niteclub are the best spots for the young lads.

I bumped into some lads in the pub in Longford who were on a stag night. They were from Cavan so they probably felt they'd save on the price of accomodation and petrol the stingy hoors. Anyway, Longford god bless it, wouldn't be high on my list if I were an outsider. Westport is supposed to be good.

Stereotypical mane Caaaaaaavvvan hoor there.

I've never understood the appeal of having a stag in a large city. London has loads of them but much better when its a much smaller town. UK wise, Bournemouth is a great place for a stag, all the pubs and clubs very close to each other, and then you have the beach.

Cant beat Derry for a night out. I'm havin' my stag up there next year. I can recomend the Abbey B&B(right beside FDC) for cheap and cheerful Accomodation and Peadar O'Donnels for a good night out

**MysticMon** · 22/08/2008, 11:38 AM

i wouldn't recommend cavan to go out in let alone havin a Stag in it at all.....Monaghan ( Poc Fada & Squealing Pig) niteclubs aint great only two, but Forum would be best option as it in the town and handier to get a taxi........... or Letterkenny which is a pretty good spot alot livelier & moe craic..........

To me its a disaster when a stag ends up in a Nightclub. I hate things. Good thing about nightclubs it gets rid of the scum from the proper pubs.

We headed out the Arran Islands for a Stag and had a blast. Lock in with guitars out and the pints flowing and loads of students over from UCG. Also less danger of the group getting split up etc as there were only 2 or 3 pubs.
