Organising a stag do can be tricky, with the pressure on to make sure that everyone has a great time. Although many now choose to have a Europe stag do, in locations such as Prague and Budapest, there are still many great places to spend your last night as a free man in the UK. From Maidstone to Manchester, Newcastle to Newquay, the Britain is full of excellent lively locations to have a blast with your friends. However, perhaps foremost among these destinations is London, the UK’s bustling capital and a city with a fantastic nightlife along with so much more.
Perhaps the best pub for a stag party that you will find in the capital and maybe even in the country as a whole, is the Fifty Five Bar and Lounge in Camden. Its location is ideal, as it is in a vibrant area of London and is close to major transport links. It’s only a five-minute walk from Camden Town Underground station, which straddles both branches of the Northern Line and lies only two stops away from both Euston and King’s Cross St Pancras, both major national (and international) rail stations.
Camden is an exciting and youthful part of London and Fifty Five is well situated to make the most of this atmosphere without being too close to the more touristy parts of the area. In addition, the great location and transport links make it perfect if you want to takeyour party on to one of London’s many great nightclubs.
Fifty Five prides itself on its huge range of drinks, with over 200 choices available on the menu, including a great choice of cocktails, draught and bottled beers and, for the stags who are especially enthusiastic, a vast selection of spirits. There are also plenty of special drinks deals available, including a two-for-one happy hour that runs from 6.00pm to 8.00pm every night from Monday to Saturday and from 5.00pm to 8.00pm on Fridays. On Sundays, they offer their renowned ‘Sunday Sessions’, which includes two-for-one, starts at 6.00pm and lasts all night long.
Aside from the drinks, which is reason enough to choose Fifty Five, the bar and lounge also has plenty else to offer for stag parties. It is free to reserve booths, tables and areas in any part of the venue. It is also possible for bigger groups to hire out the whole upstairs bar any time between Sunday and Thursday, which offers a more intimate atmosphere and plenty of seating. To add to the unpretentious and buzzing atmosphere of Fifty Five, the music choices are eclectic but fully complement the atmosphere of the venue. They range from electro and indie to soul and rock, with a few sing-along tunes in there as well.
All in all, while many now choose a Europe stag do for a blast of hedonism, the UK still has more than enough to satisfy the needs of any stag party and Fifty Five Bar in London is a prime example of this. It’s in a great location, both in terms of getting there on public transport and its being close to other great locations. The range of drinks, all offered at excellent prices, guarantees that all of the group will enjoy themselves. The atmosphere and the music are ideal for any stag party, with fellow customers all intent on having a great night. For those who want it, the possibility of hiring a couple of booths or the whole upstairs bar could make for an unforgettable last night of freedom.
