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.

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.

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.
