Hi all a work colleague of mine has decided to have his stag weekend in Warrington and has asked me for advice, although I am a season ticket holder in the north stand I don't know much about night life in the town (but I do know Bridge Street can get a bit like a war zone at the weekend), so if I could get any advice on how a bunch of lads could have a weekend to remember in Wireland it would be much appreciated.Anything from where to stay to decent night clubs would be welcome ( is Mr Smiths still any good now ?) and where to avoid. Thanks in advance.

Depends what you're after in terms of clubs, Friars (the 'home of indie' as they like to call themselves, admitedly quite cringeworthy) and Level (cheap as chips but always jam packed) are the best two places imo.

I'd avoid Warrington. I couldn't think of anything worse to be honest. If he wants one in the North West then at least go to Manchester, Liverpool or even Blackpool. It's not too far to Leeds either.

Yeah I agree with Latchford Bob Avoid Warrington Town Centre at all costs!!
Liverpool is agreat night out Matthew street comes alive at night,also some great pubs in and around lime street station for Saturday afternoon thats if you are going on a Saturday.
Also you will be spoilt for somewhere to get your head down for the evening,some great hotels to choose from either in the city centre or outside of Liverpool.

As you get in to Warrington, head to Central Station and get on a train to Liverpool or Manchester. That is my advice.

Is Warrington that bad for a night out ?

No it isn't but depends on your age! Best drinking in the pubs up Church St or going a bit further up the road to Stockton Heath.

It isn't exactly terrible, but the fact you have two far better places that are a twenty minute train journey away, makes the decision for you.

Yeah sure is and we all blame Jon Clarke!!!!

Joking aside every town and city as its nobheads and heros when they are full of ale or whatever Narcotics they can get their hands on and spike themselves into oblivion!!!
I just think you would be better served taking your Friends/Stags to a different place other than Warrington that Resembles the film Deliverence come 10 o clock Saturday evening...

I'm sorting out my brother's stag atm and we're ending up in Warrington, but we're doing it after 2 days heavy drinking in Manchester to watch a Wire game, then heading back to London. It seems a bit tame to spend a whole stage in such a small town!

saw the title of this thread and thought it must be a wind-up. Seriously mate, forget Warrington for a stag night. If he really wants to stay here then at least get him/them on an early train to liverpool. The city centre's small enough to get round with loads of choice of bars and clubs far more used to welcoming groups after a good time/laugh etc. Last train back is at 11:40pm but you're best getting the 1st ones back starting at 5:45am as the clubs are still open til 8-9am.

Sir Alan has it spot on.
My suggestion
Use Warrington as a meeting point, maybe Wilkies or the Rodney, and have a couple
Get on the train to L/pool
A few pints
Pen'n'wig
a few more pints, ending up in Flanagan's Apple, and a cab home

few nob ends met, and a good night had by all




contrast this, with a night round Warrington...

Stay away from the town centre of Warrington

It's not just the trouble aspect of Warrington town centre that make it a bad choice. I've been out in town a few times of the last couple of years and it has been completely dead. Hardly the recipe for a good night out to remember which is the idea of a stag night.

Warrington is probably the second worst place for a night out after St Helens. I'd suggest going to Manchester to be honest, it's a very good night out. Stag party's usually end up naked in Canal Street at some point during the night.

I try to avoid going as much as possible now and i am only 19. Enjoyed it once i turned 18 but the couple of places that i enjoyed are now just packed and full of knobs. Surely ain't the place for a stag night.

Unless you are a 'friend of Dorothy' this is unwise.

i echo the above comments,wouldnt have a quick pint in warringtons town centre at night..jump on the train to either manny or liverpool,,if you go manny try the gay village,trouble free and a great night and noyou wont get picked up by some 6 foot 6 docker in a dress.its packed with women all having a good time..and there are plenty of straight bars as well

Every time I go out to warrington I see fighting, whenever I go to manc or liv I don't see any! ... Simples!

Don't go on a stag do to Warrington it's full of knobs and the bouncers are knobs too!

Stockton Heath is better but no doubt it will lead to town afterwards

Wigan and saints is the same if not worse! Stick to a city! IMO

My advice - enjoy a stag do elsewhere.

i would rather have a stag do in my garden shed.

like many others have said.... Liverpool and Manchester are not far away... do yourself and your mate a favour and go there instead.

Why would anyone choose to go to Warrington, Wigan or St Helens for a night out? Barmy when Manchester and Liverpool are so easily accessible.

Great call - that's what I did

The idea of a stag night is you provide the nob'eads, and the host city provides the cheap beer and Eastern European hookers. Warrington provides the nob'eads but you will have to take your own cheap beer and order the girls online.
