Dublin Stag Activities Group Size Guide
Under 10 Stags - Try These
- Whiskey Blending Experience: A sophisticated session where you create your own unique blend. Perfect for a smaller group to sit around a table and chat.
- Escape Game: Dublin has some tricky escape rooms. Ideal for a tight squad to test their brains before the beers.
- Casino: Hit the tables for a bit of Blackjack or Roulette. Easier to manage with a compact group.
10-20 Stags - Try These
- Dublin Party Bike: You need pedal power to move this mobile bar. A mid-sized group is perfect to keep the momentum (and the banter) going.
- Indoor Go Karting: Race on a multi-level track. A grid of 12-16 drivers makes for a competitive Grand Prix format.
- Gaelic Games: Learn to play Hurling and Gaelic Football. You need two teams for a proper match, so this size is ideal.
20+ Stags - Try These
- Guinness Storehouse: It's Dublin's #1 attraction for a reason. It handles thousands of people a day, so even a massive stag group fits right in.
- Bar Pass: Getting 25 lads into a Temple Bar pub on a Saturday is a nightmare. This pass smoothes the way.
- Backyard BBQ: Feeding an army? This BBQ package gets everyone fed with burgers, ribs, and beers in a dedicated space.

Activities Unique to Dublin
- Guinness Storehouse: You can drink the black stuff anywhere, but you can only visit its spiritual home at St. James's Gate here. The view from the Gravity Bar is iconic.
- Gaelic Games: This is a proper Irish experience. You won't find Hurling or Gaelic Football anywhere else in the world. It's a cultural workout.
- Distillery Tour: Dublin is the heart of Irish whiskey. Visiting the historic Bow St. (Jameson) or the working Teeling distillery is a must.

Dublin Stag Activity FAQs
How many activities do stags usually do in Dublin per day?
Most groups do one "big" activity (like Gaelic Games or Paintball) which often requires travel, followed by a visit to the Guinness Storehouse in the late afternoon before hitting the pubs.
Can I change activities after I book?
Yes. If the lads decide they're too hungover for Gaelic Games and want the Guinness Storehouse tour instead, we can switch it up (availability permitting) right up until the final balance is due.
What stag activities are in Dublin city centre?
Guinness Storehouse, Distilleries, Escape Rooms, and Nightlife are all central. Adventure activities are usually in the Wicklow Mountains or outskirts.
Do you offer transport to the activities?
Yes. Dublin traffic can be heavy and activities like Paintball or Clay Shooting are outside the city. We can arrange return private transfers so you don't have to worry about buses or taxis.
Is Temple Bar expensive?
It can be pricey (the "tourist tax" on pints is real). Our Bar Crawl guides know the best spots for a proper pint at a proper price.
Discover the Real Dublin
Avoid the tourist traps and drink like a local. Our main Dublin Stag Do hub is filled with advice on where to stay, how to get around, and how to make the most of the Temple Bar atmosphere.
