Stag Do In Nottingham

A Nottingham stag do wouldn’t be complete without a few places to get a round in along the way! Perhaps even some beer tasting or gin/whiskey tasting if you’d prefer to turn your drinking into an art form? Luckily Nottingham is full of exciting pubs & bars to toast the prospective groom. Here are some of our top recommendations for pubs & bars on your Nottingham stag do:

Be At One

With a chic & quirky interior design and a fleet of cocktails on the menu, this could be just the place to start your night off with a bang. They’re also open until late, so it makes for a last stop just as well.

The Walrus

The Walrus is described by many as one of Nottingham’s favourite dive bars - but don’t let that fool you. This establishment certainly isn’t too long in the tooth. With a thumping dance floor and four full size beer pong tables, this could be somewhere your stag party wants to stay for a good while.

The Malt Cross

If your groom is in the mood for something a little bit different, The Malt Cross is certainly one to satisfy the entire stag party. It’s built into one of the last Victorian music halls in Britain, dating all the way back to 1877. Patrons can also take in a guided tour of the music halls and sandstone caves while visiting. 

Organising the evening meal for a stag do is always a tricky task. What does the groom like? What vibe is suitable for the party? Should it be an activity like pizza making? To give you a little help, here are our top Nottingham stag do restaurants recommendations:

Code 34

Pizza, pasta, good wine, pleasant vibes. Situated in the city centre, this independent eatery is a great choice for those on a budget stag do in Nottingham (or those who’d rather save the kitty for more drinks!). With an outdoor terrace and an underground bar, this could be a perfect place to relax & refuel for the night ahead.

Penny Lane

A favourite of Nottingham students, this place is for those stag parties who refuse to slow the festivities, even for a bite to eat. The menu features fast food classics best wolfed down in between turns on the many arcade games that populate the premises. 

Marco Pierre’s White Steakhouse Bar & Grill

For those interested in adding a touch of sophistication to their Nottingham stag do, this restaurant is just the place. With elegant decor and a variety of delicious menu options, this food stop is likely best enjoyed at the start of the night before the group gets too rowdy. 

It doesn’t matter whether or not it’s a planned part of the stag party, chances are you’ll end up hitting the clubs sooner or later in the night. That is, provided you haven’t doubled down and booked a party boat trip or party bus already. Whether you’re eagerly heading into the strobe lights or begrudgingly dragged there, it’s better to know where  the Nottingham clubs for stag dos are beforehand::

Stealth

Stealth comes recommended as one of the best nights out in the Midlands and has even been named as one of the top 100 clubs in the world. With a range of music on offer and a busy crowd nearly every night of the week, there are few ‘surefire places for a good stag night out’ like stealth.

INK

Renowned for featuring seven different club rooms, each with individual style and decor, INK is a great place for your stag party to experience a variety in music and atmosphere without ever having to leave. However, with four floors and so many rooms to navigate, you may want to take care that no one gets lost along the way!

PRYZM

Quantity is a quality all on its own, and no club in Nottingham does that better than PRYZM. Situated smack bang in the city centre, this massive venue hosts four bars and features a capacity of over 2500 guests. With cheap drinks and late hours, this could be the place to round off your Nottingham stag with some proper partying.

Top Stag Do Bars In Nottingham

Arguably the most important thing on a stag do is that your groom and the other guests are consistently entertained. Fortunately, Nottingham plays host to some brilliant activities that are sure to have everyone enjoying themselves. Our favourites are:

Wet n Wild Assault Course - Only three miles out from the city centre lies the perfect place for your stag party to act like children again. This inflatable obstacle course is certain to have everyone making a fool of themselves and having a great time doing so. An ideal summer activity that’ll help the stag party get in the mood for a fun day out.

Clay Pigeon Shooting - Accessible from the most inexperienced beginner to a crack shooting expert, this is the only real way to start your stag do off with a bang. Expert tuition is provided as part of the package to help ensure you manage to smash your first clay disc, this is certainly a thrilling way to spend your afternoon.

Lap Dancing Entry - Any stag member who says they haven’t even considered this activity is lying to themselves. With this package you’ll have guest list entry to some of the best bars, clubs and lap dancing venues in Nottingham. An evening activity that’s certain to put smiles on your party’s faces. 

Rugby Match Tickets - A big group of men and live sports. Is there any better pairing? Choose sports tickets for your parties from a selection of sporting attractions and venues and lose yourself in competition for a stretch of the afternoon. 

Off Road Dirt/Mud Buddies - Some things never go out of style. This favourite of teenage birthday parties and Nottingham stags alike is bound to deliver on thrills aplenty. The only drawback is that you might want to stop back at the hotel for a shower before hitting the down. Prepare for a messy afternoon of excitement. 

Unless you fancy staying out till the early hours of the morning and catching the first train home, you're going to need somewhere to stay. Luckily, we have a few recommendations.

Travelodge

Tried & tested, Travelodge is a favourite budget hotel for city-break weekends of all kinds. There are two in Nottingham, one the city centre and the other slightly further away by the riverside. If you're looking to minimise expense but still expect to get a decent night's sleep, this is a top pick.

Hostels

Cheap and cheerful, with plenty of emphasis on both. Hostels are always a great option for sleeping in the city on a budget, and if there are enough of you, there's a chance you might be able to book out an entire room for yourselves, circumventing the need to share with strangers & letting you continue swapping stories about the groom even after the evening is done. There aren't many in Nottingham centre, and of that select group the Igloo Hybrid was the cheapest (at time of writing). 

Park Plaza

The Park Plaza is a good option for those wanting something a little more spacious. Opposite the castle, this hotel stylish, modern, and only a 5 minute walk away from the central Lace Market area. With free WiFi throughout and an award-winning restaurant, this makes for a great base for a Nottingham stag do. 

Nottingham is home to a suite of great stag do activity ideas. There's little doubt you'll be able to keep the groom and the other guests entertained all weekend no matter what you choose, but what if you're struggling to make that decision? After all, they all promise heaps of fun! To solve that little problem, we have a range of themed Nottingham stag do packages that let you all live out an ultimate fantasy and take part in a bunch of exciting activities to boot. 

Nottingham James Bond 007 Package: Let your groom & guests immerse themselves in the glamourous aesthetic of 007 spying on this stag do package. You have a choice of one or two nights, and will experience casino entry, grand prix-style go kart racing, VIP strip club entry, paintballing or clay shooting, and as an optional extra, the chance for your stag to ride in an Aston Martin.
