Hi Guys

Just looking for some advice/tips on organising a stag do to Liverpool in August 2011 (hopefully bank holiday). Im looking for suggestions on good centralised hotels as well as decent boozers/clubs etc. Also is there anywhere thats the "must be" place on the weekend, not as in footballers and celebs etc but just really busy with a good atmos?.

Would also appreciate if someone can suggest somewhere near any hotels suggested that would welcome 35+ lads for a good drink in the day time saturday. We usually do walkabout/whetherspoons, you can imagine the amount of money we spend as well biggrin

Looking for any advice possible on having a good stag do in Liverpool!!

Thanks for any advice PH's, much appreciated smile

I've only been here a few months but I'll try and help you out.

The Holiday Inn is in a perfect location IMO, it's right beside the train station and right in the city centre. You're within a short walk of all the pubs/clubs. You can also park in St. Johns car park (if yous are driving) at a reduced rate of £6/day.

I've stayed at the Adel

I've stayed at the Adelphi hotel before, it's slightly more central than the Holiday Inn but they're basically right beside eachother.

I don't really know about the nightlife once all the students have went home, but I'd look at Concert Square. It's a square full of pubs and clubs, and really alot of the other good spots stem off from there.

You also have the bigger nightclubs, Bamboo, Nation/Cream.

There's also a couple of strip clubs up beside the holiday inn..

If you plan to go on the bank holiday weekend you will be in for a busy weekend.
Its the Mathew street festival then.
Big outdoor free music event.

Have a look into serviced apartments - there's quite a few of them in the city centre.

I'd take Holiday Inn over Adelphi, having stayed at the latter recently. Its badly in need of a refurb imho, felt dirty and old. A shame as the building itself is impressive. Marriot is fairly central too of course but not worth the extra over a simple Hol Inn.

Indeed, check Duke Street... Or more specifically, Hudson Gardens. Loads along Duke street and Henry street all for a fraction of the cost of hotels.

When you here, it is the Matthew street festival which is brilliant and you can take your own shop bought booze.
Try the docks for a few day time beers, not overly priced and a nice atmosphere outside in the sun, also concert square bars are open day time (there is a walkabouts, yates and you can get food deals in both)

Night time I suggest for a big group... Anywhere, loads of bars and clubs, bear in mind that weekend is a bank holiday so the sunday night can be filled with scrotes like me that have been at creamfields all weekend.

Circo on the docks is good on a bank holiday too.

ETA: Rude lap dancing bar.

Thanks for the help Guys. I have now booked a hotel and changed the dates. We are booked in the Ibis City Centre and arriving on the 15th July.

Can anyone advise on how near bars/clubs etc the Ibis is? I have been on google maps but its hard to judge, my mate recons its miles and miles from the main bar area?

Your about a 10-15 minute walk, 3 minutes in a cab, which will be alrite with a few pissed up mates.
You'll have a laugh!

Ibis is close to docks, which I believe are the place to go now.

Clubbing has died and not suitable for a stag. Circo at the Docks is meant to be awesome when in full flow, but then my mate is manager there, so he might be spinning me a line.

Concert Sq is Ibis end of town, but its not what it was (dons Grandad hat), mainly due to stag and hen parties. However, as you are on a stag do you might love it.
