Default Stag weekend in Nottingham

Its my brothers stag do next weekend and he has picked Nottingham. I am looking for any advice on places to go or to avoid.

There are 16 of us flying down from Scotland on Friday morning and heading home on Sunday.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Erm, well depends where you want to go really... Clubs or pubs? Once in central nottingham its pretty safe and most of the places are good to go to . But obviously if you stray away from central Nottingham you may get knived/shot/raped or a combination of all 3

Go to NG1, @D2, Niche and the surrounding bars

Probably the only place you won't get murdered

Curry Lounge is great for a bite to eat before you hit the booze... The best curry I have had in ages!

If you want a curry, I recommend Desi Downtown, the best curry in Nottingham, IMO.

Actually, they'll be 16 cops in 'Ask' on Chapel Bar next Friday. We may actually start a little earlier than planned in The Castle though.

Anyone wearing a Derby County shirt is more than welcome to come to Nottingham, they'd save money if they only had a one way ticket as they won't be going back.

I can't remember the name of the strip club opposite Walkabout Apparently, they do extras on the top floor...

There's a 3:1 ratio. Just a shame that 2 out of the 3 are all pensioners

I'll try and knock up a quick map showing where all the bars are. You basically walk out of one and straight into another as there are so many.

Tantra is good for totty spotting, always lots of flesh on show and opportunities for photos with fitties. Just a bit pricey.

Dogma is cool too.

That was bit of a myth. But I expect some of the pensioners have kicked the bucket.

Any road highlighted in pink has loads of bars. Bubbles Spa is the blue/green cross.

Avoid the orange shaded areas unless you are bullet/knife proof

Cheers for that . I believe we are staying at the Jurys inn which i think is on the water front.

Scoobywon't thanks for the map.

And if you want to buy him a final ****, there is Bubbles Spa a few minutes walk away.


oh, sorry didn't realise you were all gay. lol




Jury's Inn is near Hooters, also walk along Canal Street, under the Tram 'fly-over' past the carpark + Crown Court and you'll come to the waterfront area (Fellows Morton Clayton, Via Fossa, Lloyds etc etc)

then after walk up to Nottm City Centre or stay at the OCEAN club (near Via Fossa) Ocean club is dfferent to OCEANA club... Oceana is the old RITZY but has various dance floors, you can get food in there too if you want to book a table, by doing so you get free admistion to the club.
opp side of the road to thre is ANTIBO's if you want Pizza/pasta stuff

you can also take him to THE OLD TRIP to JERUSELUM pub, oldest pub in the world, its a stomes throw from via fossa, near nottm castle.


you're only a ten min walk from the water front up to the May Sum area (one side of town to the other) anyway, so everything is close to hand.

Better pack the bullet proof vest then.

Living in scotland guns are not as common as down south but there were three murders in glasgow at the weekend and that wouldnt stop me going there for a drink.
