Stag do

[Up The Middle]

Thats what i was hoping to hear, good man.

Recommend any hotels??

Hotels are you mad. They would take 1 look at a stag do and chase you up the street. We stayed in a premier inn right beside Walkabout, complete hole but it done the job, seem to remember sleeping in the bath but i digress, was about £30 a night.

Try the Travelodge. On top of the Walkabout and on the main street where it all happens. It gets great reviews on trip advisor

Any activities to do in Newry during the day before heading the pubs etc?? Something like banana boating, rock climbing? Ideas?

Nice wee karting track in Newry, beside the marshes. You'll need a pint ot two after as it's a painful experience.

Dundalk or Newry.

Anyone care to comment on nightclubs, feeding etc.

We don't eat out in Newry, we eat fast food. Or at least it seems that way as the restaurants are generally shite, while Friar Tucks, Pat Prices and La Dolce Vita always hit the spot (normally about a foot below the chin). At a push, Red, or Blue Print Pizza would do the job if you feel like sitting down, while the Brass Monkey or Bank are sometimes above par - although there'll be music blaring if you eat too late in either.

In terms of heading out, it's a one night a week town. Fridays can be okay in Bellini's or the Vault, but mostly we stay in and wash our smalls. Or go to the Marine in Warrenpoint for cheap booze.

Saturdays are much better. The Relic nightclub if you're under 20 and enjoy getting stabbed. The Vault nightclub if you're 19-25 and like getting your p***k teased, or maybe better. Bellini's for the next age group upwards, mostly with live music although a liquorice all sorts kind of crowd. The Millers Suite at the Canal Court is the catch all for everyone - more of a throwback to your old style Irish discos in big barns in the countryside - and has the feeling of a big wedding at it, with everything from teenagers to pensioners. Doesn't get busy til after midnight either, like a proper throwback. The main bar in the hotel will be jammed full of talent from 10pm onwards though.

Did a thorough 2 minutes research on that sammy, needless to say the text has been sent to confirm my attendance.

Have been told it's the better/cheaper version of De Wallen.

Lads- organising a stag do for the middle of February 2012. Plan is bus from Tyrone early on Friday evening, stay in around Newry (flexible on this) on the Friday night and bus down the road to Dublin on Saturday. I have the Dublin leg of the trip kinda organised but not sure what to do around Newry etc on the Friday. I know around home, Friday nights are dead as F##k now, not sure what everywhere else is like? I'm flexible on Newry- could be anywhere in and around that general direction, but probably the North is better value with exchange rate etc at the minute?   Any tips or advice on the following:

-decent nightspots in Newry area on a Friday night
-cheap accomodation with late drinking facilities  (anything considered)

thanks in advance
