Southampton Nightlife

Above Bar Street

Above Bar Street is home to some incredible bars (the clue's in the name, eyy?!), including stag do institutions like Slug & Lettuce, O'Neill's, plus a range of pubs and sports bars that are ready to welcome you in.

Bedford Place

North of Above Bar Street (or above Above Bar Street?!), you'll find Bedford Place, which is a network of roads with loads of craft beer bars, plus places like BrewDog and Popworld. A great place to start and end the night.

Things to See in Southampton

St Mary's Stadium

A Southampton stag do works well for a straightforward south coast weekend, but it's often weighed up against a Portsmouth stag weekend just next door. If you're after something busier, a Bournemouth stag weekend or Brighton stag do both bring more nightlife, while a London stag weekend is the obvious upgrade for groups wanting maximum choice.
