    my stag party in 2013 was in waterford,
    we drove from dublin, stopped in
    https://kiltorcan.com/index.php
    which is between kilkenny and waterford, it was great, we got a good deal of racing in,
    stayed in treacys, pretty divey, but hey it's a stag
    went to the dog racing, this is where it begins to get blurry,
    got a cab to kazbar

    my best man who now lives in waterford likes to point out all of the places where I was unwell on the way home

    jaysus, be wiser than me, turn down a drink or two.

    That's disappointing to hear, The reviews on their facebook page were all very good.

    It depends on the group I'd say. If you are really well behaved and happy to go around in single file then it's grand. If you want to race, and I don't mean treat them like bumper cars, then it's not any fun at all.

    Been there twice and a good friend a few more times and every time there's lecture after lecture if there's the slightest tip on the track. We decided not to go back after the last time where we were told the second time going out if any single person crashed regardless of how it was caused then the whole session was over for everyone. One person had spun into the tyres on the first session through driver error and not through excessive aggression or being bumped and they had to pull the kart back out.

    Kiltorcan, which I haven't been to in years, was far more relaxed about such things and unless someone was really acting the dick they'd never be lecturing you. Can't speak for it nowadays so perhaps it's the same.

    When you are paying decent money for an activity that there is naturally some bumping and karts spinning and you have to deal with that level of lecturing it's not worth it in my opinion.

    Kiltorcan is great, as somebody says people think it is a bumper car they are driving. Would you let some tool wreck a cart that costs maybe 10-15k if it was your business?

    There is a difference between losing grip and spinning out because you are genuinely being brave and testing the limits of the kart, and ramming someone for the laugh, one will probably be accepted, the other should not be.


    My two best stag party memories were go karting related.

    OP here. It was by pure chance that I read the comment about the dog track which went down a treat with the lads and sounds like great craic. We settled on Kazbar for the venue, even though it was pricey but well worth it considering what they offer. A few pubs around the town for the crawl, and a night at the dogs plus Vikings for the activities. Plus....for the hardcore few still alive after that, rest the head down the Craftsman and drink a few hairs of the dog until the body functions again!
