You can find plenty of bars and beer gardens around the city that are sure to please. If you're feeling adventurous and want to try something different, there are also many unique venues in Melbourne that you should definitely check out.
Every group of guys is different. Some of you might be seeking a wild night out on the town, while others are perhaps looking for a more calm and low-key stag party. Whatever it is that you’re looking for, chances are Melbourne has it! In this fun and lively city, you’ll find party locations everywhere from a poker night or go-kart racing to beer/whisky tastings and gentlemen's cruises. One of the most popular events you should consider adding to your agenda is a paintball! There isn’t much else that will make you feel like a man than strapping up and going to war with your mates! One fun idea is to have the groom and best man run from one end of the field and back while the rest of the guys fire paintballs at them (for good luck.) You’ll make some great memories, and the groom might end up with some welts he’ll have to explain to Mrs.
