My Liverpool Stag Weekend: A Real Groom's Review
Lived up to expectations.
Editor's Note (December 2025): While this legendary stag do took place a few years ago, we have updated this post to ensure all venues, activities, and prices are accurate for the 2026 season.
Ever since I heard about the legendary nightlife in Liverpool, I knew I had to go. When the time came to choose a destination, there was only one real contender. I wanted my stag weekend in Liverpool, and I was right up for the challenge.
Here is the full diary of our weekend, from Zorb football battles to VIP clubbing in the Cavern Quarter.
Friday: Arrival & Zorbing
There were 14 of us in total, and we booked ourselves into the Printworks Apartments on Henry Street. The location was perfect—just a few minutes’ walk from Liverpool Central station, so we didn’t even need a taxi. The apartments were modern, clean, and gave us a great base to crash in.
After dropping the bags, we headed straight to our first activity: Zorb Football.
We got strapped into individual bubble suits and attempted to play football. I say "attempted" because the most effective tactic is just to body-slam your opponent and watch them bounce! It was amazing fun and an ideal icebreaker. After 30 minutes of football and a brutal game of "British Bulldog," we had worked up a serious thirst.
Friday Night: Curry & Clubs
We freshened up at the apartments and headed out. We started with a curry at the Spice Lounge near the Albert Dock—highly recommended for fueling up.
From there, we hit the Cavern Quarter. We started at the Slug and Lettuce (classic), then moved to The Merchant, which had a brilliant party vibe. We decided not to burn out too early, so instead of a nightclub, we went to Angels Paradise, a gentlemen's club. It was surprisingly classy, and as the stag, I obviously got pulled up on stage for a dance. It definitely made my evening!
Saturday: Karting & The Beatles
Saturday afternoon was all about speed. We booked a 50-lap race at Teamsport Go Karting, just a mile from the city centre.
I was seriously impressed with the track—it has an overpass, hairpins, and fast straights. The 200cc karts really shift! It was fiercely competitive, and the perfect way to wake everyone up.
For dinner, we went to Blakes, a Beatles-themed restaurant in the Hard Days Night Hotel. The steak was amazing, and it set us up nicely for the main event.
Saturday Night: The Cavern & The Mansion
You can't go to Liverpool without visiting the Cavern Club. It rocked. The live band was tight, the atmosphere was electric, and it felt like a proper pilgrimage.
We kept the theme going at Sgt Peppers before finishing the night at Mansion Nightclub. We had booked VIP tables with a £1,200 bar tab (paid upfront, thankfully!). Having waitress service meant we didn't have to queue at the bar once. Needless to say, the details get a bit blurry after that, but everyone agreed it was an epic night.
The Verdict
My Liverpool stag weekend was a massive success. The city has everything: great accommodation, unique activities like Zorb Football, and a nightlife scene that is out of this world.
