    Imperial Hotel on Eyre Square sorted our group out a few weeks ago, they have a deal steak and pint for €20. Was lovely food, not a great venue, just stay for food and then bail out!

    Cheers man, tell me, was the group spread out over a few tables, or were they catered all together?

    I think that the closest paintball places to Galway are Westport, Limerick and Mullingar.

    Alternatively, there's a great karting track out in Tynagh, and an indoor track in Liosban.

    There's a place in Roscommon, www.battlebridgepaintball.ie, not sure if that's closer or better. Last I went with work we went to Limerick.
    Maybe the folks in Paintball forum would know.

    You can also read this thread for options like karting, pureskill etc for stags.

    Hi there,
    I'm looking for a big house that could accommodate 15-20 in Galway (close to city) for a stag. Any ideas?

    Tbh, I think it'll be tricky to find someone to let their house out for that reason. Also the place would probably be outside the city centre.
    With that many people you could look into getting a whole dorm in a hostel (they probably won't like parties in the dorm though, if that's an issue).
    www.barnacles.ie
    www.snoozleshostelgalway.ie
    www.galwaycityhostel.com
    www.sleepzone.ie
    www.kinlaygalway.ie

    Some hotels have stag deals but of course would be pricier than a hostel

    The user "Comic Book Guy" in the above thread had a similar question, you can check with him how he got sorted in the end.

    How do,
    Mate's stag in a few weeks so organising it for Galway. There'll be 20 of us, aged 28-33 all from Dublin. No messers in the bunch at all. Ideally, we would want to do a pub crawl. Pub golf is the idea mentioned so everyone will be kitted out in golfing attire. Have we a hope of getting in anywhere like this? I'm planning a 9-hole course so 9 bars over the course of the day, strictly limited to 1 drink/bar. We're not scumbags but I can see the predicament 20 people can find themselves in, trying to get all of us into a bar. the crawl will start early (2ish). Would it be better to count our losses, forget about the golf, and focus on just getting everyone into anywhere? Do bouncers operate on all main bars from an early time?

    Maybe you could try plan the pubs before hand, and call them to check if they'll be ok with your group?

    Bouncers dont generally start in the main pubs until around nine, some pubs wont welcome large groups of stags in general let alone in costume. Plenty of places will though and as its during the day there wont be as much hassle for ye.

    If you're a stag expect to pay a behaviour bond. If you're well behaved they are all cheap enough.

    See www.hostelworld.com for reviews and prices. But you'll have to ring up to book.

    Travelodge on the Tuam Rd is consistently the cheapest hotel, 20 minute walk from town.

    Victoria Hotel would be ideal for a stag group i'd think

    Hi all

    Wondering if I would have to book/reserve a bar or two in advance for a stag party soon in Galway and where perhaps? Would we be able to go into most places dressed up and all or is it frowned upon and limited to just a few places? Thanks

    Tim

    I've moved this to the Galway City forum because you're more likely to get replies here.

    Moved from Food & Drink.

    You can rooms in a lot of bars, and most places will take stag parties these days, behaviour rather than dress is key.

    What sort of night out are you looking for?
