    Stag weekend in Southampton

    I'm going on a stag-do this weekend, staying near Southampton. Does anyone know any good nightspots?

    I come from the South but I've never been to Southampton, and come to think of it I've never met anyone from Southampton. So I'm not sure what to expect.

      You may well be right... but we're stuck seven miles from Southampton in the New Forest. Frankly we'll be lucky to make it to So'ton.

      If it was up to me we'd be in Copenhagen or Stockholme

        There's a 'For Your Eyes Only' in Southampton, in the High Street. I think there's one in Bournemouth too.

        I can't vouch for how good it is, I didn't go in it. I just had the misfortune of staying in a hotel opposite.

        Addendum. There are a few bars on that street so it is quite lively. Make sure you take ID with you because they will demand you show it wherever you go. I was refused a drink because I didn't have ID, and I am 36 FFS. OK I don't look it but still, I have been able to legally buy alcohol for the last 18 years FFS.

          If you go in just head for town centre lots of watering holes but you make ur mind up when you get in them!!! Some of outskirting areas are scary so I would avoid.
          Not a lot in New Forest really just a few village pubs, if your lucky!!!
          Personally would go to Bucharest lots of fun to be had!!!

            The town centre atmosphere depends on whether there are any big ships in.
            The brasses hang out on St Mary's Road.

              Thanks for that advice. It's enough to get us started.

              I feel between us all we have probably covered most of the bars in Christendom, but Southampton is unchartered territory to me.

                Why Southampton?
                How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                  Expect a dull night out
                  I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?

                    Bournemouth has Spearmint, For Your Eyes Only, Fantasy Palace and best of all Wiggle, plus decent bars and clubs.

                    Prob only twice as much in a taxi than So'ton would be.
