Theres a Go Kart place on the front past the Pleasure Beach .You can have some fun there .Not too dear either .
Night time there is a place called Funny Girls (in town centre if its still there ).Its a club with Drag Artists doing a show .Not everyones taste but for a group of lads it can be amusing and plenty of Birds in there .!!! When I went it gave me the Creeps at first .It has seating like the stalls on the Muppet show but it was a laugh .
And depending on the age group of your stag party ,there is always the Tower Ballroom to let your hair down and do a few Foxtrots or Passa Doubleys !!!!!!!!!!!
Plenty of places to stay but much of it hasnt had a makeover in 20-25 yrs to be honest so you will get what you pay for .
Have Fun .

Thursday is the student night out.
Friday isnt as busy as a Saturday.
Best places for mid twenties would be;
Walkabout (But can get a bit lairy when its late, odd fight etc)
Sanuk is a club which is a bit more "chilled out" than Syndicate, and isnt full of people gurning
There are a couple of decent rides on the peirs up by Pleasure Beach.
If your out in the day, the touristy pubs are a laugh, but again can get lairy especially the likes of Tower Longe etc.
Its a bit **** really mate..... Preston is a much better night out.

Blackpool is the worlds biggest sh1thole and it amazes me how many people go there on stag do's and then say to me afterwards that they regret every second of it.......
Best thing to do is never listen to the guy who suggested Blackpool ever again.

Blackpool requires local knowledge nowadays.
It used to be the party capital of the UK but its a shadow of its former self sadly and there are quite a few places that you must avoid to assure a good night out.

I like a challenge and my expectations of Blackpool,are,well...quite low. The reason we're going is its a midway point for everyone-the groom lives in scotland and the rest of us are Midlands/Worcester based.
We are all in the 30's bracket and the majority are not massively into clubbing but dont want to be tucked up with our horlicks come 10 o'clock!.
We could do without fighting or getting locked up...Any thoughts

Ok,
Presuming you are going to spend the majority of your day at the pleasure beach and or go karting and then going back to the hotel for a shower and change, where to eat depends on where abouts your are staying. If quite central, you cant really go wrong with Frankie and Benny's which has a pub next door too.
(Im thinking of easy group catering here)
Failing that there are a lot of pubs and such like all over the place and a pretty good Harry Ramsdens chippy just north of the tower that seats about 100.
Lots of Italians, Indians and Chinese in town centre, just ask any cabby for a nice venue. For a bunch of chaps my age (38), I would recommend the following.
First of all, start the night nice and easy in the Underbar which is directly behind Blackpool Tower. You don't want to eat or drink anywhere south of this venue if its isn't Frankie and Bennies IMO. There are good places, but few and far between and hard to access.
Come out of there and across the road is the Tower Ballroom. Very accommodating for groups as its a very large open bar.
Come out of there again and head north to Brannigans... about 4 Min's walk. Its a huge place. great for groups.
Come out of the Brannigans FRONT door onto the seafront, and EDEN Lapdancing club is a few doors North to the Right. 1 misn walk.
From EDEN front door, turn left, down the alley and then left again, along the road and into the Coco bar. About 3 mins walk. Its brand new and designed specifically to cater for over 25s. Its also next to another new bar called the Che bar if you want to eye up some younger talent and the clubs are connected internally so entrance should be free once your in Coco and Coco is a FAR easier queue.
From there, come out and head over the main road diagonally to a place called Rumours. About 2 mins walk. Again this is over 25s although does tend to attract the younger crowd too.
If you haven't had enough yet you have two main clubs to go to from there. One is the Syndicate. Ten mins walk. The Uk's largest 5000 capacity nightclub.
details here:
Or Sanuk, which I think you will favour. 5 mins walk. Details here.
I regularly arrange for large groups of my customers to come to Blackpool and we always have a great night and have never had a problem with fights or any aggro in general. You simply have to tread a sensible path through town and avoid certain areas. (Walkabout for example, or fightabout as we call it) Heres my last group shot from the Syndicate Foyer.
Im the guy in the middle feeling well smug that I got 57 people from all over Europe to the syndicate at 1am after an all day seesion, the pleasure beach two meals, 10 bars and I didnt lose a single person. LOL
