    Cathedral Quarter

    Starting with the obvious, the Cathedral Quarter is Belfast’s most well-known nightlife district. This historic and quaint area is home to a huge number of pubs, clubs, beer gardens and restaurants. Highlights include The Dirty Onion (a lively pub with a large beer garden), The Woodworkers (Belfast’s home of craft beer and shuffleboard) and The Crown (housed in a magnificent grade A listed building). But that doesn’t even scratch the surface, there’s so much to explore!

    Belfast Pedi Bus Tour

    One of the most iconic stag do activities in Belfast is the Belfast Pedi Bus Tour. This massive bike can be pedalled by up to 15 people at once. The result is a hilarious jaunt around Belfast city centre. You will be able to bring your own booze, so get stocked up on tins. Don’t worry, there will be a sober driver, so you can just drink and pedal. You’ll get to stop off at two pubs on the way too. Just don’t be surprised if people shout at you or cars honk (in a fun way!).

    Guided Belfast Pub Crawl

    Benefitting from a local’s insider nightlife knowledge, a Guided Belfast Pub Crawl will see you visiting four traditional Belfast pubs. These will range from small and intimate to big sprawling boozers. As well as visiting pubs that are worth your time, this is also a great way to make new pals for the night because often you get tourists from all over the world on these tours. Oh, and you’ll get a couple of free shots thrown in for good measure.

Taking part in an expansive forest (45 mins from Belfast), you will test your accuracy by shooting real shotguns at flying clay targets. Your dedicated professional instructor will give you hints and tips on how to handle the gun and teach you how to (hopefully) hit the target. You will have 25 clays and cartridges per person. This stag activity is sure to be a ‘hit’ with your group.

    Escape Room

    Our staff visited Belfast recently for an activity testing trip and we would really recommend doing these super-immersive horror-themed Escape Rooms. These particular escape rooms have a great range of themes including Time to Float (IT themed), Zombie Outbreak (zombie themed) and Dream House (Annabelle themed). Most of these rooms have multiple rooms to explore and a live actor(s), which really ramps up the intensity. If you don’t like horror, we wouldn’t suggest these, but if you do, get yourself in there, just make sure you escape you’ve got a wedding to be getting back for!

    Karaoke

    Have you been wanting to sing Sweet Caroline at the top of your voice whilst being tanked up on Guinness? You have?! Well, a Karaoke sesh could be right up your street. This karaoke is one where you sing in the shower (the mic is in a shower). We have tried and tested this ourselves, so believe us when we say there’s absolutely tons of songs to choose from. It’s in a room full of people (at the lovely River Rooms), but to give you some Dutch courage, you’ll enjoy cocktail towers on arrival.

    Ollie’s

    Found in the Cathedral Quarter, Ollie’s is a luxurious Belfast club known for world-class DJs, an electric atmosphere, opulent décor and impressive sound/lighting. To say this place draws a crowd is an understatement. On a weekend Ollie’s gets very busy, so if you want somewhere with a banging atmosphere and lots of people we’d highly recommend this place. Music-wise, you can expect a mix of disco, house and hip hop, with the addition of RnB on a Saturday.

    Prison Island

    Prison Island is like if The Crystal Maze was set in a prison. This place is split up into 31 cells, with each cell containing a challenge that may test your teamwork skills, brains or brawn. The skills you need to play will be on the door outside. You can play any cell as many times as you like within the time constraints and there’s no set route you have to follow. This certainly is a unique way to cell-ebrate.
