Where to Go on Your Newquay Stag Night

Fore Street

There are plenty of bars and nightclubs on this street, and a load of sports bars and traditional pubs just off it that are ready to welcome you in.

East Street

Time to line your stomachs before pre-drinks. You've got a wide range of restaurants, chain pubs and Irish bars to kickstart that big night out.

The Beachfront

Soak up the sun, enjoy the sea views with an ice-cold pint, and catch some footy at the live sports bars. Stag perfection!

Top Newquay Pubs, Bars & Clubs

Tom Thumb Cocktail Bar

This cracking bar is a great place to come for a few stag cocktails. Definitely a place for the late afternoon or early evening.

Where: 27A East St, TR7 1DN

Berties

Berties nightclub is a blast. The club opens at 10, but the neighbouring Hotel Victoria has a cracking beer garden with views out over the sea if you want to pitch up in the daytime.

Where: East St, TR7 1DB

Sailors

A pub and club, this place is a master of all trades and absolutely nails each one. It's got great views of the bay plus live sports, music and more stag madness.

Where: 15-17 Fore St, TR7 1HB

Belushi's

From their cliff-top terrace to their cracking food and drink menus, Belushi's is a solid place for stags to start their celebrations.

Where: 35 Fore St, TR7 1HD

The Edgcliff

If you want to crank up the competition, head to the Edgcliff for a little pool battle. It's got eight well-maintained tables plus live sports on three big screens.

Where: 40 Cliff Rd, TR7 2ND

Slug & Lettuce

You're probably familiar with the stag-friendly chain bar that is Slug & Lettuce, but for those who don't know, this place is unpretentious and knows how to party.

Where: 11 Gover Ln, TR7 1ER

Fistral Beach Bar

Located, you guessed it, right on the beach, this is where to go when the sun is shining, lads! One of our favourites for sure.

Where: The Crescent, TR7 1DS

The Best Time to Go

Our stats at StagWeb tell us that 55% of stags went to Newquay between May and July in 2023.

This is ideal for 3 reasons:

  1. You miss the price increase in the summer holidays
  2. You have a buffer before wedding season kicks off
  3. You'll start to get some great weather

By all means, go to Newquay whenever works for you, but these months are the peak stag and hen months for sure.

How Long Do People Go For?

63% of stags stayed in Newquay for 3 days and 2 nights.

Whilst this is probably enough for most groups, we'd always recommend staying longer if you can.

For most of the UK, it's quite a drive away, so you're going to want to make the most of it.

Equally, who wouldn't want an extra day or two to lounge around on the beach and enjoy the sun?!

How Soon Do People Book?

According to our end-of-year stats, most of the guys booking for Newquay in 2023 booked 4 months before they were due to go, which is the average for stags.

Four months does give you enough time to get things organised, but we'd still recommend booking earlier if you can.

Newquay is quite a popular destination amongst stag and hens, and it's quite small which means availability is limited.

The early bird catches the worm and the early stag books the best weekend!

Where to Stay in Newquay

From hotels and hostels to cracking stag houses, we've got an awesome range of Newquay stag accommodation right by the town centre.

As these places are in the thick of it, the availability can sometimes be thin, so if you're thinking of booking a stag house, then we suggest you book and pay the deposit early to secure your place.
