What’s on offer for a stag party in Edinburgh

Enter the ultimate powerhouse of sporting activities

The guys can watch the world’s best rugby teams play at the Murrayfield Stadium , enjoy top horse racing at Musselburgh Racecourse, or, if they prefer to take part there’s the Midlothian Snowsports Centre and Edinburgh International Climbing Arena.

Enjoy a wee dram or two

There are plenty of drinking holes at which you can whet your whistle!  For a selection of real ales try the Bow Bar.  If whiskey is your tipple, drop into The Canny Man’s and if you’re a fan of Ian Rankin, why not try his favourite haunt – the Oxford Bar.

Exclusive cultural night scene

The city’s pubs, bars and clubs remain true to its strong sense of exclusivity and culture.  For a touch of class try 99 Hanover Street; a beautiful bar with live music.  Go for bold at Bond No.9 with over 400 spirits and liqueurs to choose from!  For a hint of Swedish culture get the girls down to Boda Bar.
