Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bachelor Parties are a great opportunity to do something different and fun. Below we\u2019ve listed ideas and activities you can do as a group. Just make sure they cater to your group size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At PartyWizz, we\u2019re not affiliated with any of the businesses listed below. They\u2019re purely our recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pro-tip<\/strong>: If you\u2019re planning on doing intensive sports-based activities, don\u2019t over-estimate the group’s physical abilities. It\u2019s hard to enjoy a bachelor party when everyone is exhausted from the start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dublin is the perfect city to hold a pub crawl. You can either plan your own or book an organised crawl; You can find some organised ones listed on Google<\/a>. As always, drink responsibly and have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pedal around Dublin as a group for a hysterical tour of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pedal Buses (or Pedi Bus) have become a Stag Party classic. There are now a few different companies that now offer this service in Dublin. You can see some options and reviews on Trip Advisor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Playing paintball is another Stag party classic. Inside the city, you can find indoor paintball arenas. Otherwise, you\u2019ll have to go a bit outside of the city. For example, Delta Force<\/a> in Wicklow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, you\u2019ll want to dress the groom in a silly (and highly visible outfit)… such as a rabbit onesie\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laser tag is a very tame game compared to paintball but it\u2019s still a lot of fun to play. As an activity, it\u2019s also shorter. Which means, depending on your schedule, it might be easier to fit in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a large group (10+), playing some indoor football can be great fun. There are a number of pitches in Dublin. Just make sure to place your booking ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bubble soccer has become extremely popular thanks to social media. If you\u2019re looking for something fun and different, this might be it. Just be prepared to get extremely warm in your bubbles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Airsoft is a sport in which participants shoot pellets instead of the paint bullets used in paintball. While paintball is usually more popular, airsoft is considered a more realistic experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most paintball venues in Dublin also offer Airsoft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this activity, you get to be part of the foosball table with all its benefits and drawbacks. It\u2019s a lot of fun and it evens out the skill gap compared to a regular football match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go bouncing around and play classic ball games in rooms that are filled with trampolines. It will definitely wear out your group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A tourist trap if ever there was one\u2026 but fun tourist traps never-the-less. The Viking Splash tour is located in the city centre<\/a> and is a chance to visit Dublin on land and on water, in an amphibious vehicle. It\u2019s difficult to be picky in Ireland, but this tour is a lot more fun in good weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Play some classic arcade games at coin-operated machines. This is a great in-between activity (for example: after your afternoon activity but before dinner) as you can play for as little or as long as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a few venues that provide this service. The most popular is probably Token<\/a>, in Smithfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bowling is usually considered to be a bit tame for a bachelor party. However, each to their own. You might be happy to do something tame to finish an intensive weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bring out your inner singing divas by booking a karaoke session. If you want to book a private room for the occasion, check out Ukiyo Bar<\/a>. Otherwise, there are different venues that host public karaoke events throughout the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For an unusual activity, you can book a magician to perform for the group. The show can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour depending on what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This activity does require a bit of space. For example, if you\u2019ve booked a function room or if you have a private area in a restaurant or a pub. You can browse and book some of the best magicians in Dublin<\/a> on PartyWizz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Celebrate by getting tickets to a show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dublin is constantly hosting world-renowned artists. Music, theatre, comedy\u2026 there is always something going on. Check out the programmes at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre<\/a>, the Olympia Theatre<\/a>, the Gaiety Theatre<\/a>, Victor Street<\/a> and 3 Arena<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also innumerable shows happening at a much smaller level. It\u2019s always worth checking what\u2019s on in Dublin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pro-tip<\/strong>: If this is something you\u2019re interested in, make your reservations as soon as possible. Seats fill up fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While soccer isn\u2019t huge in Ireland, if you\u2019re a Rugby fan, Dublin is the ideal place to be. Especially during the 6 nations. Most pubs will show the matches. However, if you want to be there at the Aviva stadium<\/a>, make sure you book your tickets early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you aren\u2019t from Ireland, why not get tickets for a GAA match in Croke Park<\/a>. Hurling and football matches are fast-paced games that are full of energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just check up on the rules ahead of time. It\u2019s similar but definitely different to anything you\u2019ve seen before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dublin is a great city to enjoy some comedy so why not use the bachelor party to get the groom properly heckled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend you check out the Laughter Lounge<\/a>. They\u2019re a bit pricier than the rest but they only book the best comedians and entertainers. You\u2019re guaranteed a top notch show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otherwise, you can check out some of the smaller comedy clubs, such as the International bar<\/a> or Cherry comedy.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Watching a traditional Irish show is always memorable. If you\u2019re not from Ireland, it\u2019s definitely a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Opinions differ as to what the \u2018best\u2019 traditional Irish show is. Johnny Foxes<\/a> tends to make most people\u2019s list. You can find a list of options on Publin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Escape rooms are another Bachelor Party classic. There are plenty of excellent ones in Dublin<\/a>. A quick google search will show you which ones will be the most accessible to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VR Rooms are an emerging concept.

It can be a full-body painting or just arm artwork. Just remember that if you want something extremely specific, you\u2019ll want to talk about it with the artist ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can browse and book a body artist<\/a> directly through PartyWizz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bingo night and musical bingo is an easy and fun option for Bachelor Parties.
