Stay at the Malmaison IMO.
That's all I can tell you about Leeds.

what's the reason you're going to Leeds for it?

Thought Newcastle would be a popular destination for you lot, decent shout anyway. I've never done the rounds in Leeds but always had a good time whenever I've gone drinking there. Can't be of any actual help but there you go.

And yes, you can be of help, even if it's only areas or names of bars. Just been googling which of course doesn't really tell you much. |

The Nation of Shopkeepers and Carpe Diem are my favourites, but anything around the Cookridge Street/Millenium Square area is solid (there's also a lot of best avoided chain places too, like Walkabout and Vodka Revs, but rough with the smooth and all that). The 02 arena is around there too, but that's only recommended if there's a specific band you want to go see.
That's the best area to head out hit the booze without much plan, anyway. Whatever you do don't be tempted by an Otley Run. The novelty of walking sizeable distances between pubs that shut at 12 with hundreds of freshers in "costume" wears off very quickly. I wouldn't bother with Headingley at all unless you plan on daytime drinking. Another favoured pairing of mine is the Headley Verity (Wetherspoon's in thin disguise) opposite the Fab Cafe (late-night student's alt rock fare), but I doubt that's stag worthy. In my admittedly limited experience, the best curry is at the Shabab, near the station; the best English restaraunt that won't break the bank is Browns, near the aforementioned Nation; the best sports bar is Shooter's, on the Headrow (main street); and the best real ale pub is a tiny place near the Victoria shopping centre called the Angel. Can't help you with strip clubs. I'm a house party man rather than a club man, so I'm not the one to ask. All I really know of clubbing is some atrocious ones from Fresher's week. You can't all come to my house. Probably.

What sort of stag night is it, and will rack my memory for more specifics. I know that might sound a stupid question, but in my experience some lads are just going for a night out that's a bit bigger than usual, and some are looking to 'do' something within said city (strip club, casino etc) Last edited by GIMH; 07-01-2012 at 09:13 AM. |

Incidentally, one thing to bear in mind is that in March, at least half the people you see on a night out are students and in some places almost all of them will be. If you're looking to avoid them, I'm not sure I'll be of much use. Quote:
