Also the 'English garden' , the whole of Munich heads there if it's sunny to hang out , play games . picnics , people watch - sorry i know it sounds silly - but wel;l worth a wander over there if the weather is good.
Trust me there will be some excellent scenery
It's 10-15 minutes walk from the centre tops :

Stadium tour of the Munich stadium ? Even better check and see if 1860 Munich are playing , they share the stadium with Bayern and you should be able to get tickets to the 1860 games is they are home.

BMW plant tour would seem a PH sort of thing to do

I've done this twice now and it's excellent!http://www.bmw-welt.com/en/visitor_information/gui...
Went to Munich for my stag do almost 2 years ago, had a great time.
BMW Welt was excellent, wanted to go here too http://www.deutsches-museum.de/index.php?id=1&... but the day I'd set aside to do it turned out to be a public holiday and it was closed!
English Garden is great if the weather is good, Hofbrauhaus is worth going to for a look, but there are lots of better places for both food and drink - I liked Ayingers opposite, which does good food,though they were about wary about a stag do, but we weren't a particulary rowdy bunch so it was fine.
A few of us, including me, went to Dachau, not everyone's idea of a stag do activity perhaps, but interesting and thought provoking.
Saw an interesting looking cycle powered mobile bar (!) thing there, looked like it was aimed at stag groups, might be worth a look depending on the dynamic of your group.

If you want to something really German, how about getting authentically naked with them? Very echt.
Therme Erding www.therme-erding.de is Europe's largest waterpark / thermal bath complex. It's located in Erding, a pretty small town close to Munich airport.
This covers most of what you need to know : http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g19...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therme_Erding
The place is absolutely vast, it even has its own multi-storey car park. The waterpark is open to all ages, so can get unbelievably crowded with families at weekends. The Sauna area is adults only, and is much calmer. This area is 'textilfrei', ie clothing free, and it's surprisingly good fun lounging around the outdoor pool bar in the nude while sampling the local brew, Erdinger weissbier.

Hitting Berlin this weekend for a stag.
Done deutschland stag dos twice before (Stuttgart and hamburg) and the beer and sausage advice is valid. Also a commendable mention for German kebabs.
If I recall anything useful from this weekend, I will relay sometime about Tuesday, when I can type again.

I have posted this before in response to a similar question.
May be of use to you too!...................
'I work with a bunch of guys from Munich & mentioned this to one them, I thought he might just mention a couple of places but as per German efficiency he sent me the following e mail which may be of use to you!:-'
"I would assume that the guys will visit Munich during a weekend. Let’s start with the two parts the lads could tell their families at home about… ;-)
Food and Drinks on evenings:
Restaurant-wise I recommend the Museumstüberl (Sterneckerstrasse 2, Muenchen / unfortunately, the webpage is just in German, so I sent the link with the pics...) since I consider this as a traditional place in a very central location serving good quality food where you get all that duck and pig stuff of any kind you would expect in Bavaria. On top of that they serve Augustiner Bier, which is the most appreciated beer brand by the locals and they offer a fair range of Schnaps as well. The place also runs a museum, but I think it’s rather a bit of time and money wasted unless you really want to know how beer is being brewed and the Oktoberfest looked decades ago.
Another lovely place for dinner is the Augustiner Bräustuben (Landsberger Straße 19, Muenchen / again, webpage just in German but again I would rather regard this place as usually less frequented by tourists and serves similar food and drinks to the Museumstüberl). As Desert, I highly recommend the ‘Kaiserschmarrn’ – probably the best I ever had north of the Alps!
For lunch, the roof terrace of the department store Oberpollinger close to Karlstor in the city centre offers lovely views as well as reasonable prices.
Another thing for take away lunch is the chain of a butcher called Vinzenz Murr where you get the classic Bavarian ‘Leberkäs Semmel’. Ask for the sweet mustard to go with it. You might get that from other butchers as well, but these guys offer quite a nice quality and are spread all over Munich.
Both of the above mentioned restaurants just serve indoor seating. So if the weather is nice, you might also want to consider visiting one of the numerous beer gardens. On weekends and especially when the weather is fine, you better go there (early) in the afternoon since sitting in the shadow with a cold beer and a Brez’n instead of melting away in the bright sun is preferred by the locals. So – as with the sunbeds in Spain – the best seats might already be taken if you are late (sorry, the sunbeds had to be mentioned…). Both of the following places have serving and self-serving tables, so make sure to get the self-serving tables (usually beer benches instead of tables with chairs). In Beer Gardens in you are allowed to bring your food along but you have to buy the beer or soft drinks. Therefore, if you fancy some food you think you might not get there, you are welcome to bring it with you.
China Turm (Englischer Garten 3, Muenchen / again just some pics) is a rather nice place which is certainly well appreciated in Munich even so it’s well frequented by tourists and locals.
Seehaus (Kleinhesselohe, Muenchen – in Google Maps it’s the property right at the little lake) just a bit north of China Turm might be interesting as well since that place attracts a bit more trendy people and is usually well frequented by girls.
‘Culture’-wise I’m not so sure what’s really appreciated, since that issue certainly provides a rather wide range. I would really require some more info on that since I don’t want to bother about Museums, Paintings, Bavarian History or the like unless someone’s really interested. Cause if not, that could certainly turn into bloody boring…
Independent of that, I think the Residence in Munich (Residenzstrasse, Muenchen) is a good place to visit without stretching the cultural aspects of the trip too far. It provides kind of a view on some of the history of Munich, Bavaria and some mad kings Bavaria had the pleasure to live with in the past. Another advantage is that the place is located in the city centre and within close proximity, there is the Pfaelzer Weinstube which serves great wine and small dishes in a lovely backyard off the street (in Emperor’s Court).
The Alter Peter (Petersplatz, Muenchen) might be worth a visit as well. It’s a bell-tower to climb by a staircase and I recommend to get up there at 11.30 in the morning and enjoy the view over the city centre of Munich. At 12 noon, the bells ring and it’s rather interesting to hear and feel that combined with the view of the city. The church itself looks quite different to many of the English churches I’ve seen as well since the Catholics were rather a bit extreme when it came to fitting out and designing churches
The BMW-museum might be worth a visit in case our carmaker is of interest. The whole thing has just been refurbished and extended and is definitely worth visiting.
OK Lisa, I think this is where the mail ends for you but the guys are welcome to continue reading…
We’re coming to the rather delicate places in Munich. There are two spots I would recommend and certainly many to avoid. Amongst the ones to avoid are in general the places around central station.
New York Table Dance (Grafingerstr.6, Muenchen) is probably the most ‘proper’ place to go to. It’s part of ‘Kultfabrik’ which is where many local youngsters go out on the weekends – therefore, some also rather nice bars like e.g. ‘Cohibar’ (in case be there in time (let’s say 9 p.m.) – it might be harder to get in with a bunch of guys when it’s already late and crowded but it’s a good spot later in the evening…) are around. For New York Table Dance, Friday and Saturday are the evenings you might be interested in. Avoid Sundays: this is where men get naked and I assume you want to avoid that…
The other place got the promising name Boobs (Dachauerstr. 12, Muenchen). It’s close to central station and should rather be considered as the second best choice (may be an option for Sundays?!?).
Well, that’s it so far. Guys, enjoy Munich and
Kind regards,
Daniel"
