Bristol/Bath Stag Stuff & Suggestions
Discussion
Morning Guys, heading to Bristol (specifically staying in Wick) for a stag do on Friday. We're approx. 30mins outside Bristol and 10 mins from Bath, Saturday we plan to go into Bristol, we've got mini golf planned, but playing it mostly by ear. Bath on Sunday, come back Monday.
Does anyone have any suggestions for any other fun things to do aside from drinking or any must visit pubs/bars, be about 16 of us.
Thanks in advance.

There's a little greasy takeaway a couple of doors up from the little Sainsburys in the middle of Bath, across from the Boston Tea Party coffee shop.
It does the best grilled spicy lamb ribs. They're even better after a few beers.
Nothing more useful than that to add though, I worked in Bath for 6 months Monday-Thursday, so all I did was work long hours, drink beer and eat! Didn't get up to much else.

For the typical staggy type stuff Bristol activity centre would have you covered. Shooting/Quads/Paintball etc:

Zaza is a decent option for accommodating different food types, but a word of warning not to stuff yourself!

There’s a few places doing a booze cruise around the harbour:

But you could quite easily walk the harbour for a less packed pub crawl:
The Cottage/The pump house/Mardyke/grain barge and then into town.
Wick is miles away for a taxi home, but Bristol has far more for a Sat night than Bath, so it’s the better option.

Wick is on the on the outer edge where a taxi may not come and as far as I recall none local.
Pre book an Uber will be your best bet, from Bristol to the next town we often walk the 4 miles as we cannot taxi and we live on the edge of Brizzle.
We could get a bus but a 30 minute walk to the stop we are half way there. We are 8 miles from Bath as well.

Amazing, love the look of Kongs, thank you for the tips about taxis, I have asked and asked about pre booking, but not being listened too!
Try Vcars for pre book I think Wick has one bus every 6 months(Joking), Uber will also pre book whether they or Vcars turn up is another matter.Kongs is nice, and dependant on time St Nicks market has great street food.
I had my stag in Bristol, unfortunately I have very little recollection of event details , other than clay pigeon shooting when I’m pretty sure I was still a bit drunk.
We did one night in the centre and another in Clifton.
Saracens Head pub is a usual stop when in Bath.
Whilst a stag do being run like a military operation isn’t always fun booking some basic stuff like taxis will avoid a disaster.
I have been on a stag where there was nothing organised and it was s

Saracens Head or the Pig and Fiddle for reliable pubs in Bath followed Schwartz Bros burgers (either Walcott St or by the Theatre for a good dirty burger at the end of the night.
For Bristol boozing, try the Coronation Tap in Clifton Village; Exhibition Cider at £2/half pint is legendary (both good and bad).
As others have said, getting taxis to and from Wick has the potential to be a bit of a nightmare. Uber operate in Bristol however, so £30 to get back - getting in may be more of a problem!
Overall, think Bath is the much more enjoyable night out of the two.

Hire a boat or two at the Bathwick Boathouse in Bath. Top fun on the Avon.
The restaurant there is excellent two, I've been three times and always been impressed.
Do they still punt (the boathouse not the restaurant The restaurant there is excellent two, I've been three times and always been impressed.
)?Did that a few times as a student in the late '70s.
Great fun.
^^^ "too" not "two". Silly me.
If you’re in Bristol, there’s a few stand up paddle board hire place in the harbour which would be good as they do taster sessions, the Pump house and Cottage are both good pubs very nearby. Walk up to Clifton, find yourself a table outside at the Avon gorge hotel, drink more.
Some good restaurants and bars in Clifton, Corrie tap mentioned earlier is over rated, yes the cider is expensive and very strong but it’s just not that great. The Mall is a better pub. Make your way to the top of Whiteladies Road and walk down. Try the Jersey Lily, Brewhouse Kitchen or the Clyde Arms (if you’re a smallish group). There are eating options along the way and a reasonably big Wetherspoons for cheap group food
you could try the Wave (surfing centre about five miles away), https://www.thewave.com/contact/
axe throwing place in the centre https://whistlepunks.com/location/bristol/
or the ubiquitous escape rooms.
There’s a kart track at avonmouth and one in east Bristol a bit closer to Wick, both are good
https://www.team-sport.co.uk/bristol/
https://absolutely-karting.co.uk/
All easily Uber-able. Or just hire a load of Voi electric scooters and race around the centre but be warned, the police can stop you for drink driving on them!
Bath is a good night out for couples and friends but everywhere seems to close at about 2200, pubs and bars are small and it’s expensive….
