    Being a southern ex-shandy drinking soft tulipe type I've been to Brighton many times. Honestly, you will need some local knowledge before you go on a crawl down there.

      Can you part with your local knowledge then i.e. keep me out of the gay bars!

        I think you'll know when you're in the gay bars.

          I've been on a couple of stag dos in Birmingham. If you want to go the races you could go to Warwick/Wolverhampton, or there are 2 dog tracks in Brum.

          Book a travel lodge on Broad street and you are bang in the centre.

            I went on two stag weekends to Brum last year. Travelodge is pretty grim, as would be expected. I highly recommend the Weatherspoons hotel, which is the same price but 100 times nicer. Pretty close to Broad Street.

                Think Birmingham might be worth a look for you. Broad St is as cheesey as hell and there are loads of bars.
                But you do also have the option of some nicer bars in Brindley place or the Arcadian.

                  I arranged one there last year.

                  £59 per room per person for two night inc brekkie (2 lads per room)

                  A night at the dog track (free admission + max a tenner in a taxi to get there) followed by booze & curry on Broad St.
                  Next day: The offroad buggy thingies for a couple of hrs followed by pub crawling up/down broad st.

                      Is it because they have Gerbils in the vending machines ?
