Where is the Cheapest Stag Destination To Get A Pint?

A beer being pulled

Here at the DesignaVenture Stag Do Blog we like to go against the grain.

Whilst the press are banging on about 'people drinking less' (a tiny percentage if you dig deep), we feel it's still extremely important to find out where you can get "more pint for your pound" whilst on your stag weekend.

Lots of different factors come into play when picking your stag party destination such as; distance to travel, stag activities on offer, nightlife and package price.

Here's one more factor that must also be taken onboard, the price of BEER!

We started looking at the stats brought out by the Money Guru, and found out some alarming facts.

To get a pint in Dubai you're looking at £9, Oslo isn't too far behind with £7. OK these aren't exactly popular stag destinations however, rounds will be expensive.

So we have have delved deep and looked at popular stag destinations around the world.

Whilst one thing is guaranteed, London will be expensive, where can you get four pints for one London pint?

This infographic gives you the low down:

So Prague takes the prize for the cheapest pint, and they do dam good Pilsner in the Czech Republic, plus Prague is an absolute belter of a stag weekend destination.

I recently returned from one of our Rural Inns in North Wales where they sell a pint of Carlsberg or Fosters for just £2.50. So that's 2 pints for one London pint, and you still get 19p change.

Here's the list of beer prices (per pint) for stag destinations around the UK:

(Cheapest to the most expensive)

  • Swansea - £2.97
  • Hereford - £3.00
  • Chester - £3.00
  • Newquay (Truro) - £3.00
  • North Wales - £3.30
  • Cardiff - £3.41
  • Liverpool - £3.45
  • Leeds - £3.53
  • Newcastle - £3.74
  • Nottingham - £3.81
  • Bournemouth - £3.83
  • Southampton - £3.83
  • Reading - £3.93
  • Manchester - £3.93
  • Birmingham - £4.16
  • Brighton - £4.24
  • Edinburgh - £4.35
  • London - £5.19
Please note: If you decide to drink in a trendy pub with bare concrete walls, beer served in jam jars and chalk boards everywhere with deep thoughts etched onto them, expect to pay a little more.

All these stats came out after a pub in 2017 was heavily criticised on Twitter for selling a pint for £13.40!

The Rake in Borough Market blames the high cost of it's distributor Euroboozer who markup the price of IPA. The landlord advised "good beer costs good money".

Whatever you get up to on your stag, have a good one.

Stag Do Traditions

Image
In the UK a stag do is a tradition, a time when a man calls for all his best mates and friends to get together and celebrate his single life before he gets married. In France they call it " enterrement de vie de garçon" which basically translates to "burial of the life as a boy or bachelor". Back to the UK, usually the 'stag or groom to be', nominates one, two or even three best men who will then take on the task of organising the stag. They will not only organise the it but also arrange what's going to happen on the stag, The Traditions. People think that traditions are hundreds of years old, but in my mind a tradition is something which has passed on from stag to stag. What are these traditions I hear you ask? I'm just getting to that... The Right To Humiliate The Stag Humiliating the stag is a good one to start with, these humiliation rituals are done on different levels of the embarrassment spectrum. The worst I saw was when

Top 10 Stag Do Rules

Stag do rules whether they're funny or serious are part and parcel of a well planned stag do, and we are about to rummage through the depths of another top 10. There are quite a few unwritten rules, which I have written down? To be honest, it wouldn't be much of a top 10 without some stag do etiquette (unwritten rules). By the way if you are lost and are looking for some brilliant stag do games, go here . Rule Number 1 - What Goes On Tour, Stays On Tour This is one of the mentioned unwritten rules, it either makes the stag do sound: Mysteriously amazing Something has happened and no one wants to talk about it  No one can remember However whatever the reason, it's the most important rule to abide by. Rule Number 2 - Don't Leave Your Man Behind Enemy Lines In other words do not leave a member of the stag party asleep in a club, leaving him to get nudged by the bouncer leaving him to traverse his own way back to the hotel. You can also apply this ru

So which stag do movies have received the DesignaVenture Movie Gongs: At 10…. Bachelor Party Vegas  (2006 - IMDb rating 4.7/10) Possibly the start of the modern stag do comedy movie where the stars pack their bags and head to Vegas for a weekend to remember, or forget! This funny film also includes lots of naked ladies and even Paintball guns, how very apt. At 9….

Stag Do Games are a must on a stag do, not only will it create a togetherness amoungst the group, it will also be fricking funny. Just a word of warning , we do not condone masses amounts of drinking that these games promote, this article is just a service we provide for people that would like to know about stag do games, which obviously includes a little tipple or two. Chicken Run This game is brilliant and includes dressing the stag up as a chicken. SO, dress the stag up in a chicken outfit then, everyone sticks £10 into a kitty and gives it to the stag. The stag dressed up as a chicken has as long as it takes for everyone to buy a drink and finish it to find a bar and drink the kitty dry - just imagine, a bloke sat in a bar, dressed up as a chicken, drinking alone, hilarious! The group splits up into teams of 2 - 3, the first teams to find the stag/chicken get to drink from the kitty. The game is over once the kitty is dry or all the teams have fo
