Waterford/ Tramore for a stag?

stevieward

Hi

Im in the middle of looking at places and was thinking of there for the weekend of the June Bank hol weekend.

Is it busy/rough that weekend? would tramore be a big enough place to take a crowd of rowdy galway men? I presume Waterford has a lively set of pubs but could the same be said for tramore?

Please excuse my ignorance but its a part of the world i know nothing about.

Cheers in advance

Ya there's plenty pubs in Tramore and with a gang of lads it won't cost much for a taxi to Waterford anyway, 10 mins at most. Tramore would be great during the day and Waterford at night time. A lot of stags in Waterford recently. Tramore would be fine to stay for the night also, just Waterford might be a better option for more choice of pubs etc.

I'd give ya one bit of advice and don't take offence, If your boards.ie name is the same as your real name then don't book it in under that name. Ward from Galway with a gang of lads headin down for a weekend to an area with traveller feuds kicking off all the time, let's just say theres a lot of hotels and B&B's might get lousy about it and not trust ye.

If you're ever thinking about running for a job with bord failte or running for city council i'd give it a miss deisedevil. Jesus.

Stevie, i've lived in Waterford for the last five years, my first visit was a weekend on the p1ss and absolutely loved it, would highly recommend it to anyone else, never mind that other nonsense.

Enjoy your weekend!

I have to say, that's quite possibly the worst bit of advice I have seen given to anyone coming to Waterford.

I wouldn't be suspicious or refuse to book someone just because there surname is Ward. It wouldn't even cross my mind.

What's to suggest he isn't part of the feud?

I think its good advice went trying to book a BB or Hotel , to be honest

I'd stick with Waterford City for the night life ... some fantastic pubs

maybe Tramore in the daytime for activities like Kayaking & Surfing

Dungarvan is another great town for going out in ... great pubs especially for Trad music etc, Piantballing & Rally Driving available up there too.:)

Some people here must be a bit deluded! Ward is a name associated with Travellers especially from Galway and right or wrong it's a name that might cause a bit of difficulty when booking hotels around Waterford.

There's some very naive people posting in this thread!

+1 for Dungarvan. I'm from Dungarvan so might be a bit biased but if I was you I would head there.

Stay in the Park Hotel or the Tannery guest house. Great pubs in Dungarvan, PM me if ya want to know what might suit ye. There's also two nightclubs.

Lots to do, three Golf courses, Paintballing supposed to be very good too.

WRONG! Yours was possibly the worst bit of advice, all you did was question others advice. How about you put in your own bit of advice?

ex_infantry man

There are some fantastic pubs in Tramore and you can certainly have a great night out.

Check out www.ciddytours.com for information on pubs in Waterford and I think they also have many of the Tramore pubs covered.

If nothing else the site will give you an idea where the pubs are and help you plan out your night.
