Ideas for Stag Weekend in Ireland?

Carlow is a good spot, but so is Galway and Cork, Kilkenny is very good, but very popular.

It's a bank holiday in Ireland the 1st week end in June, so if are booking something , do it now... just letting you know

Hey ya, Im from Ireland, Dublin is a good place but, as said it can get expensive, also the Temple Bar area of the city is not really that "stag party friendly" anymore, especially english stag parties. Galway is a class place, full of pubs and clubs, and will be considerably cheaper then Dublin. Other than that Cork is pretty cool too. but if I were you I'd prob head to Galway, during College term time, 20% of the population of the "city" are students.......................need i say more, although theres only a few strip clubs, and theyre expensive. for strip clubs and casinos go to dublin. Good luck Bhoy

I live in Ireland, but if I was to suggest a stag weekend venue I would have to suggest Cork city. Its a bit cheeper than Dublin, not as busy but still has plenty of pubs, bars, places to see. And if you are looking to treat the stag at a club (if you know what I mean) there are a few options.

There are none of these bars in Northern Ireland to my knowledge.

Residing in an extensive bay, Dublin lies between Howth in the north and the headland of Dalkey to the south and the River Liffey separate the city in two making from this town an interesting town that you will have the possibility with hotelbye to see it. Dublin has given the entire world such famous fictional like: Yeats, Beckett, Joyce, Shaw, and Wilde. Dublin was a UNESCO Town of Literature this year therefore is definitely an interesting city to visit especially if you wish to visit Bewley's Oriental Café ;.Many could claim that Bewley's Oriental Café is the jewel in the crown. Bewley's Oriental Café is an institution that was integrated 1927.

Check out Carlow - McHughs courthouse hotel.. Cheap and cheerful accomodation with a bar that serves til very very late.. Carlow town, also has one of the biggest bars/clubs in Europe - part of the Din Ri hotel.. I had a weekend there in October - great spot. Or check out my home town of Galway - excellent city with a very young poplulation...You can fly directly to Galway now with Aer Arann from Cardiff...

Hi,

I would check out a company called Rebel Adventures. They organised Accommodation, transport and a whole host of activities for a group of 23 of us around Cork. Great service, nothing was too much trouble and good value.

Go to galway. The jury's Inn is cheap enough to stay in and it's in the middle of the city or in travel lodge.

the best pubs are taffes, the quays (but go there early enough) the front door and the best night club is Halo

if you want to go to Ireland I would go to the North as the Euro in the South makes things very very expensive. If you go to Belfast the night life is good and it does not have ANY trouble now the peace process is going. I come from NORTHERN Ireland. If you go north you can go to the folk museum in Cultra and see how people used to live. you have the option of many bars and the oldest bar is very Irish and is in the middle of belfast Opposite the Europa HOTEL. ALSO SEVERAL other hotel within walking distance. Middle week you can get flights very cheap on www.easyjet.com. going tuesday wed thursday and there is a youth hostel which will be very cheap Good luck in wedding week end. Also try online to www.flybe which flies in from cardiff as well good idea to Go on to www.discoverireland.com GOOD LUCK

Limerick city is not a bad spot - has a very undeserved reputation. Close to Shannon airport, lots of hotels close to the city centre, lots of pubs.

Belfast or Derry make good nights out - just do a google search for either city and you will get ideas for where to go etc
