THE #1 CHALLENGE TO MAKING YOUR STAG PARTY GREAT

It’s simple: you don’t know the city. You’re heading into unfamiliar territory, and let’s be honest—you don’t have time to waste sifting through tedious “top 10” lists written by someone who’s never even set foot in the place. You need someone on the ground, and that’s exactly what you’re getting here.

My name is Joe Clarke, and I’ve hosted over 1,000 stag parties in the last 7 years. My company, Spartacus Bubble Soccer, has over 1,000 “excellent” reviews from stag groups all across the UK and beyond. I know Liverpool inside out, and when it comes to stags—I know all the best spots.

This isn’t some generic, cut-and-paste guide cobbled together by someone who’s never even been to Liverpool. I’ve seen those, and they’re full of absolute bollocks! I came across one the other day, written by a company in London—3 out of their top 10 recommendations had shut down! In the words of Donald Trump: “Fake News!“

What I’m giving you is real. We’re about to MAKE STAG PARTIES GREAT AGAIN! Everything here is straight from over 8 years of boots-on-the-ground experience. You’re not just getting tips; you’re getting plugged into my personal Liverpool network, the people who know this city inside and out.

So, are you ready, mate? We’re about to turn your stag party into something legendary.

Let’s go!

WHY LIVERPOOL IS PERFECT FOR YOUR STAG PARTY 

When you’re planning a stag do, the most important decision you’ll make is picking a city that’s built for it.

A lot of places just aren’t stag-friendly these days. I recently sat down with an official from an old seaside town that used to be famous for stag parties. The guy was so dismissive, saying they wanted to bring in families and move away from stag dos. Who’s the genius behind that idea? If you took your family to this particular place for a holiday, you should be locked up mate. 

The point is, you need a city that welcomes stag groups with open arms – and Liverpool is 100% that city.

It is absolutely massive for stags (and hens). Every weekend we’re invaded by groups from all over the country. Why? Because no one throws a party like Liverpool. We’ve earned the title of “UK’s Nightlife Capital” for a reason.

Any day of the week, you’ll find somewhere that’s bouncing. We’re a city of p*ssheads, mate, and we know how to throw a party. Just ask Connor McGreggor, who came here for the day to watch the Grand National – he ended up in a treehouse in Huyton for 2 days absolutely ballooned. Liverpool chewed him up and spat him out.

So, if you’re after a stag weekend full of shenanigans and loads of things to get stuck into, Liverpool is the go to city for your stag party.

STAG FRIENDLY GROUP ACCOMMODATION

This is where most stag planning begins – and where the real headaches kick in.

I remember a trip to Newcastle back in the day. Fifteen of us booked what we thought was “group accommodation,” but it was more like a Venezuelan prison. Ten bunk beds crammed into one windowless room, and sheets with suspicious stains. 

Luckily, group accommodation has levelled up since then. It’s a luxury now. The only problem is they’re hard to come by, and even harder to book if they know you’re a bunch of stags. Most places see “stag party” and run for the hills.

But here’s where Liverpool shines. This city was one of the pioneers of the group accommodation game, and it’s packed with options that actually welcome stag parties.

I’ve handpicked three of the best spots for you. They’ve got great locations, no party pooper residents to deal with (no one telling you to “keep it down”), and they’re 100% stag-approved.

1. HARRISONS APARTHOTEL

 2. INFINITY APARTMENTS

3. SHANKLY HOTEL

LIVERPOOL STAG DO ACTIVITIES 

Let’s be honest—booze is going to play a major role in this stag party. It’s a tradition that’s been around for centuries, and no matter what the so-called experts say, it’s not going anywhere.

But there’s been a big shift recently, and that’s the rise of stag do activities.

For me, activities are an absolute MUST. They’re not here to replace the drinking; they’re here to fuel the hilarious stories that’ll be retold once you’re back in the pub.

You need something that gets the people going, something that brings the group together and creates unforgettable talking points.

Well, crazy golf isn’t going to cut it, is it lads? You want a white-knuckle, adrenaline-pumping, laugh-until-you-p*ss-yourself kind of experience. And trust me, I’ve got just the thing.

So, let’s start with my top daytime activity picks…

LIVERPOOL DAYTIME STAG DO ACTIVITIES 

So, what’s my first pick? Well, I’ve had hands-on experience with this game for over 7 years, and it gets my vote as the absolute best stag do daytime activity – hands down. (It’s not even close, brother!)

No prizes for guessing what is about to come next:

1. BUBBLE SOCCER

Didn’t see that one coming, did you, mate? And before you say it—no, it’s not biased.

I said Bubble Soccer, not Spartacus Bubble Soccer (the biased bit comes later when I tell you to choose us).

So, why Bubble Soccer?

Stag groups are diverse – you’ve got the groom’s best mates, a few randoms you’ve never met, and then the family contingent: Dad, Father-in-Law, the lot. So, how do you get all these different factions to bond like they’ve known each other for years? Easy. You throw them into big inflatable bubbles and let the game do the rest. Watching the bride’s dad get launched into a mid-air somersault by some random bloke you’ve just met? Instant best mates. The pub stories practically write themselves, and the awkwardness? Melts away faster than a pint on a hot day.

It’s one of, if not the only activity on a stag do that guarantees 100% laughs. If you don’t laugh playing this game, there’s a high chance you’re a complete fruitcake.

HOWEVER: There’s Bubble Soccer, and then there’s Spartacus Bubble Soccer (here comes the biased part).

If you want an experience that’ll get your stag off to a flying start (literally, in some cases), you’ll need a company with BIG BALLS…and over 1,000 5-star reviews – more than all the other blaggers combined. 

Biased? Maybe. But over 1,000 stag groups who rated us excellent can’t be wrong, can they? 

Still on the fence? Here are my top 5 reasons why bubble soccer is the ultimate stag do activity—click here to find out more!

2. SINBAD’S SOCCER SHOWDOWN – BONUS ADD ON!

Another blockbuster from the geniuses at Spartacus (me), comes Sinbad’s Soccer Showdown. Available only as an add-on to Bubble Soccer for now – hence the BONUS pick.

It’s a game that mixes community service and football – two of Liverpool’s favourite pastimes. Jokes, of course. I’m allowed to say that because I’m a Scouser. But enough with the stereotypes – what’s the game about?

Sinbad, once a footballing legend, has fallen on hard times – he’s fat, bald, and broke. But that’s not even the worst of it. He’s been slapped with a community service order, and his punishment? Turning a bunch of misfits (that’s you) into a team of champions.

You’ll report for training where Sinbad’s no-nonsense coaches will put you through heart-pounding trials, hilarious challenges, and intense leaderboard showdowns.

It’s the perfect add-on to Bubble Soccer, played back-to-back, so all the action stays in one place. Once the thrill of Bubble Soccer wears off and you’ve taken off the zorbs, Sinbad’s Showdown lets you switch gears while still keeping the energy high. It’s more relaxed but still action packed with fun football challenges, making it perfect for all the footy-mad fans in your group.

LIVERPOOL NIGHTTIME STAG DO ACTIVITIES

Alright, lads, onto the nighttime antics. Not the seedy ones… not yet.

After sinking a few pints post-game and retelling all the hilarious stories from the pitch, it’s time to figure out what’s next. But before the night spirals into full-on debauchery and half the group wakes up wondering where their shoes are, let’s ease into it, shall we?

A few more beers and maybe some bar games? How about a comedy show for some pre-blackout laughs? Something to keep the momentum going before the group officially enters the point of no return.

So, here are my top 3 picks for nighttime activities to keep the party rolling before things descend into glorious chaos:

1. FLIGHT CLUB

2. POINT BLANK LIVERPOOL

3. HOT WATER COMEDY

BEST BARS IN LIVERPOOL (STAG FRIENDLY!)

Let’s be honest – when you’re rolling in with 10+ drunken lads, bars aren’t exactly rolling out the red carpet for you.

Sure, you could split into smaller groups and try to sneak in, but we all know how that goes. Dave—who’s already had one too many—will be the first to vanish. Next thing you know, he’s in an alleyway smoking crack, and you’re organising a search party.

In my experience with stag parties over the years, Liverpool’s usually pretty relaxed about letting groups in. But still, it’s smart to have a backup plan. If one place shuts you out, you don’t want to be left standing there like a bunch of lemons.

These spots are no-brainers – they are tried and tested and are 100% approved by stags.

They’ve got everything you need: great beers (some have great views), solid bar food, live sports, and a lively atmosphere. 

Alright, let’s get into it:

1.HOOTERS

2. MCCOOLEYS

3. BIERKELLER

Looking for the best spots to catch all the live sports? It’d be a sin not to squeeze in a game while you’re in Liverpool! Check out my “STAG-FRIENDLY LIVERPOOL PUBS WITH LIVE SPORTS”!”

STAG FRIENDLY VS GROUP FRIENDLY SCRANS

Alright lads—time to talk stag-friendly scrans. Notice I said “stag” and not “group”—there’s a big difference. Sure, Pizza Hut is group-friendly, but is it really stag-friendly? Imagine being sat next to a family of five, while the stag awkwardly tries to keep Blow-Up Brenda from bouncing off little Timmy’s head.

To avoid that awkward scenario (and keep the stag out of jail), I’ve handpicked 3 of the best spots for stag-friendly scran in town. Here are my top picks:

1. ALMOST FAMOUS 

2. PIZZA PUNKS LIVERPOOL

3. BALTIC FOOD MARKET

TOP 3 BREAKFASTS IN LIVERPOOL – ULTIMATE HANGOVER CURE 

Alright lads, as part of a stag group you are typically in the 28-42 age range. We’re not over the hill yet, but we’re definitely not bouncing back like we used to. Gone are the days when we could knock back 10 pints and 5 tequilas, then wake up like nothing happened. Now? We need all the hacks we can get to recover from the inevitable hangover apocalypse.

When it comes to hangover cures, nothing beats a Full English Breakfast. It’s more than just food – it’s a national institution. Somehow, it manages to provide temporary relief from the questionable decisions of the night before. But let’s be honest—the hangover’s only taking a short break before it comes back swinging. That’s just your body’s way of telling you it’s time to get back on the horse.

Now, I’m not saying this breakfast will save your life, but it’ll definitely buy you a few hours before the next round of pints kicks off. And, because I’m a dedicated man of the people, I took it upon myself to personally review these fry-ups. Tough gig, I know. 

Alright, lads, let’s tuck in:

1.THE BAGELRY 

2. BARSCO LOUNGE

3. BRUNCH CLUB

LIVERPOOL’S 4 MAIN DRINKING AREAS (WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE)

The secret to Liverpool’s bouncing nightlife isn’t just the locals’ love for a good ol’ piss-up—it’s the layout of the bars and clubs. Aside from the Baltic Triangle, which sits on the outskirts, the 4 main party areas are all within staggering distance of each other. With everything from live music to food markets, lively squares, and even bars open till 7am, there’s something for everyone.

So, let’s not waste any more time—here’s your guide to the four main drinking spots in our mad little city:

BALTIC TRIANGLE
Liverpool’s hipster haven, where gin is served in Victorian vases and cheesecake comes on satellite dishes. But it’s not all quirky—there’s a solid food market, plus bars pumping house, funk, and laid-back vibes for when you want to escape the city centre madness.

CONCERT SQUARE
The ultimate party central. Shot girls, shisha, Irish bars, Bierhauses, and nightclubs surround the buzzing square. It’s lively from early afternoon (even earlier in the summer), and yes, there’s a Popworld around the corner—don’t act like you won’t end up there, you big tosspot.

MATTHEW STREET
The world-famous Mathew Street is all about live music. Home to the iconic Cavern Club, it pulls in tourists from everywhere. Expect Beatles-themed bars, Irish pubs, and classic boozers—it’s a must-visit for any stag group.

VICTORIA STREET
Running parallel to Mathew Street, it’s packed with bars and close to hotels—convenient for stumbling back. Just off Victoria Street is Heaven, a local legend because it’s open until 7am. If drinking Carlsberg at sunrise with a face full of smoke sounds like your thing, this is your spot.

JOE’S TOP TIPS FOR A GREAT STAG PARTY IN LIVERPOOL 

1. GET SOME ACTIVITIES BOOKED

The best stag dos are built around memorable experiences – ones that break the ice and get everyone laughing. 

Sure, a big chunk of this stag do is about getting pissed, but you can do that anytime. When will you get the chance to create memories with all these people again?

That’s why you need to break up the booze with some solid activities – ones that recharge the group and give you plenty to laugh about in the pub later.

If you want an experience that over 1000 stag parties have rated “excellent” then click here and see how me and my team can help.

2. CENTRAL ACCOMMODATION IS A MUST

Not every city is set up for stag groups.  In Liverpool, however, there are plenty of options. But, don’t leave it too late or you’ll end up in some bedsit in Kensington (rough as f*ck!) with a bunch of smack heads for neighbors. 

Stick with central, stag-friendly places. You might find a bargain that’s “just 5 miles out,” but then you’ll end up stranded with a hefty taxi bill every time you want to hit the city. Keep it central, make sure they’re happy to take stags, and avoid the hassle.

3. LEAVE TIME FOR SPONTANEITY 

Book a couple of solid activities, one or two in the day and one in the night and then let the weekend take on a life of its own. Trying to micromanage every minute is a nightmare – believe me, I’ve seen it. You’ll be chasing a bunch of half-pissed stags around, trying to ferry them from one place to another – it will start to feel like a chore. You’re the main man but you’re here to have a good time just as much as anyone so swerve the 5 page stag itinerary and keep it simple.

Instead, book two daytime activities (max) and a more relaxed night time activity, but leave room for some spontaneity.

CONCLUSION: MAKE YOUR LIVERPOOL STAG DO UNFORGETTABLE
