Mad, bad and hilarious to know, Bratislava stag weekends are packed full of the
craziest activities and nightlife. Bag the boys a Bratislava bargain with StagWeb.
"...Loved every minute do not hesitate to book with this company. 5 star service...."
Machine Gun Shooting - Get your itchy trigger fingers on some legendary hardware. Shoot AK-47's in a test to see who is the weekend's Top Gun.
Jelly Wrestling - Two smoking hot bikini clad babes, one giant pool of jelly and one very nervous looking groom... "Fiiiiighhht!"
Papichulo - This trendy bar/club is actually a converted public toilet. "You're taking the p..." Open until 5am it has beer pong, karaoke, DJs & big screen sport.
Americké Námestie, 811 07 Bratislava
Bar Rock - Does exactly what it says on the tin. Live music, lively crowd, lethal drinks. It's like a night out with Dave Grohl.
Bar Rock, Sedlárska 366/1, 811 01
Primi - A great bar with fancy ideas. There's a cool club upstairs, stylish restaurant downstairs and large covered courtyard.
Pimi, Michalská 378/21, 811 03
January - Knights at Devin. Go back in time (and maybe pack some popcorn) as warriors of old do battle for your entertainment.
June - Junifest. Inspired by Oktoberfest, this is Bratislava's beery celebration of every man's beverage of choice.
July - Medieval Castle Festival. Game of Thrones fans will love this epic festival of all things medieval in Lubovna Castle.
July - Pohoda. Bratislava's huge summer festival with top rock, hip hop, pop and dance music acts.
"Barter like a gypsy but pay like a gentleman."
- Slovak proverb
Districts - Everything can be found in the Old Town which is pedestrianised and packed with dozens of superb bars, all within easy walking distance. There's even an area of bars known locally as 'The Bermuda Triangle' because so many people go there and aren't seen again for days. Many Old Town venues don't start filling up until 9-10pm but stay open until late if you're thinking of heading straight to breakfast like real men!
Must See... - Sad Janka Krala - If you're looking for a quiet, wide open space to let any tender stag heads recover the Sad Janke Krala park is an oasis of calm greenery to lie back and think of England until you're feeling human again.
Statues - Bratislava is full of them and if you're feeling artistic you can get some great team photos alongside one of the weirder sculptures.
Taxi 'schmaxi'! The old town is all entirely pedestrian only.
Slovakia was formerly part of Czechoslovakia until 1989.
Touching the hat of Bratislava's statue of a man lying in a manhole is supposed to bring good luck. But it's also a popular peeing post for local dogs.
Eats - Keep it real and enjoy some local 'man-food' at the Mestiansky Pivovar. You'll find traditional food in what is actually a giant brewery. Yes, a p*** up in a brewery. You're welcome!
Mestiansky Pivovar Drevená 575/8, 811 06
Drinks - One thing you must try is Borovick. It's like the Devil himself has built a still and decided to start brewing stuff. We could go into a flowery description of the soft botanicals, delicate nose, strong taste of... The simple truth is, it'll melt your tongue, shrivel your eyeballs and you'll wake up to find out you're now engaged to a bus driver called Marek.
On foot. The Old Town is a relatively small area and everything is within easy walking distance (we can arrange transport for any activities outside the city centre). Our top transport tip is fly to Vienna (more flights and better prices) then get the bus from Vienna to Bratislava, which takes around 45 minutes and costs just €5.

Andy Warhol - The famous American pop artist Andy Warhol's parents came from Slovakia, although that fact probably won't earn you your '15 minutes of fame'.
Lochness - Step off the streets of Bratislava and into this perfect pub that feels as if it's been imported straight from the Scottish highlands. Tuck into hearty pub grub, indulge in some seriously tasty whiskies and finish with a smoke in the cigar lounge. Aye, Lochness is just that good. See more...

Welcome to Bratislava - More insider hints and tips on the best parties in town.
There are three certainties in life; Death, taxes and incredible Bratislava stag weekends. Slovakia might have only "gone official" as a country as recently as 1993 but in the past two decades its party capital has cemented itself as one of the world's must-see cities for its incredible underground clubs, vibrant pubs, packed bars and quite frankly bonkers activities. And the best bit is that the Slovaks have kept the costs down to entice adventure-hungry blokes like you to their beer-fuelled shores. Couple that fact with StagWeb's low rates and your weekend funds won't just be intact, they'll be booming, leaving you with more in your pockets to treat the groom to a truly unforgettable last hurrah in Eastern Europe.
Stag Fact #1 - Bratislava has a bridge named after Walker Texas Ranger action hero Chuck Norris.
Bratislava is a truly eclectic city with its own UFO-shaped viewing platform (weird), nightclub-boxing rings with gorgeous girls strutting their stuff (weirder) and a former "Miss Wonderbra" with the world record for Longest Legs on a Supermodel (WTF... Show me a picture?). But knowing where to stray in this Slovak party paradise is even more of a head-scratcher, which is why we try out all our accommodation before sending out our groups. It's the only way we can be sure that you're in the perfect place to kick off your big weekend. Which in Bratislava's case is right in the city centre, with the vibrant nightlife by the Danube riverside and the Old Town both within an easy walking distance from all our hotels, hostels and even Boatels. Yep, hotels on boats. Bratislava is that cool.
Stag Fact #2 - Bratislava boasts 10,000 beds for bleary-eyed stags to rest their heads.
...It really isn't. The pre-wedding action you can take on in this city is, frankly, balls-and-quite-literally-everything-that-isn't-nailed-down-to-the-floor awesome. Nowhere else in Europe will you find such an epic smorgasbord of activities for your nearly-married gent to enjoy before he sacrifices his weekends to wandering aimlessly around IKEA and telling his mother-in-law how just much he enjoys her new curtains under the vicious gaze of his newly betrothed wife. There really is something for everybody, whether it's racing wheel to wheel on Bratislava's premier Go Karting track, navigating the extreme currents of the city's White Water Rafting course or giving the groom the scare of a lifetime and having the Stag Arrested.
Here's just a few of the greats...
Stag Fact #3 - Bratislava ranks 10th in the world for annual beer consumption
Dust yourselves off. After the days of did-that-just-happen activities comes this city's incredible nights, and a Bratislava stag weekend just isn't complete without the chance to wet the groom's head with a healthy amount of the Slovakian party capital's finest Pilsner. The warm continental climate of the city also means that most of the amazing clubs, pubs and bars spill out onto the streets, creating an awesome summer vibe for most of the year (although in winter you will be glad that most of the clubs are underground). Add a side helping of gorgeous locals and it's not hard to see why most of Eastern Europe flocks to Bratislava in the warmer months to let loose and let the good times flow.
But you aren't like most of Eastern Europe. You're stags, lords of the night and masters of all you survey, so you need to be treated as such. That's exactly what we'll do by giving you the chance to go VIP on your big nights out so you can spend less time queuing and more time making memories for your groom-to-be.
Surprise the groom with these extras...

But don't fear. StagWeb are both ABTA bonded (No. W7797) and ATOL protected (No. 11011) which means we adhere to the strictest codes of conduct in our industry, giving you and your booking complete financial protection.
