Stag dos bring with them a mixture of feelings. Some of us dread the thought of all that organisation and the morning after – though it’s arguably hardest for the groom-to-be; but plenty of us also relish the thought of getting dug in to a night of drinking and debauchery.

Dublin in Ireland is well known as a party city and, when it comes to stag nights, the Irish capital really comes to life. With so many excellent pubs, bars and clubs available – and all within stumbling distance of one another – you couldn’t go wrong by organising your stag do here.

Whether you’re from Dublin itself or further afield, the friendly streets of the city are fantastically-ordered for a stag night. Whether you’re hoping to spend it quietly with close friends or go mad throughout the city, you’ll find ample opportunities to suit your needs at your fingertips. From your Dublin hotel, start with a few quiet ones to get your imaginations going before heading off to one of the busier pubs or bars. The Temple Bar area is well-known for accommodating some of the best pubs for stag dos and you can’t go wrong by visiting this spot for at least part, if not all, of your evening.

Let the groom-to-be make the choices that he could end up regretting in the morning and you’re sure to have a laugh all night as it takes unexpected twists or turns. Or, if you prefer knowing how things are going to go, why not organise a pub crawl where you can plan to be in certain establishments at each hour? No matter how you plan your stag do in Dublin, one thing is guaranteed: it’ll be a night to remember for the groom-to-be and all of his closest friends accompanying him on his ‘last night of freedom’. Because it’s nights like these that will stay with you for a long time and form a significant memory in your friendship.

And finally, towards the end of one of the most exciting nights of the year, just ensure that – no matter where the night takes you – when it’s time to go home you’re conveniently close to one of the welcoming Dublin hotels you’re staying in for your trip away – or within a taxi-hailing locale.

And, whatever happens on your stag do in Dublin, remember one thing: whatever happens in Dublin, stays in Dublin!
