Having a crawl for my stag do soon and heading to the Big Chill as this is where I met my fiancé. However, I'm unfamiliar with the area in terms of drinkeries and was hoping you could punt some ideas my way.

Yes, I've UTFS and also beerintheevening, but personal choices are more sound.

Usual criteria for a sound afternoon/evening/night/morning out.

Thanks in advance.

Will this be a 'traditional' stag do, so to speak?

browns

If you mean titty bars, then probably not. Probably.

I didn't say nowt.

Bar Kick... Great spot, good drinks and excellent food, not too many knobs...

If you want decent music/gigs, then I recommend:

Cargo
93 Feet East
The Macbeth

Less music orientated more laid back:

Zigfried von underbelly on hoxton square
The Elbow Room (american pool bar)
Electricity showrooms

I like Cargo - club arch, bar arch, food arch and a garden. It's the perfect club for people who can't hack a whole night of clubbing. Plus the coctails are decent enough.

The strongrooms are nice. Through a little archway on Great Eastern Street, has a cool forecourt to sit outside too

The Griffin - A classic boozer..

I second Kick.

A stag-do in Shoreditch sounds like the second circle of hell to me, mind, so what do I know.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll plunder them all.

And yes, stag dos in London generally are fucking dreadful, but I hope it'll be like an extended day of drinking where I don't have to have an inflatable sheep taped to my penis.
