Bachelor Party Ideas

I had my bachelor party in DC, and I had a pretty damn good time. My best man planned a pretty awesome trek, started on a party bus complete with keg and booze.

Since we started in Germantown, we had a good 45-60 minute ride to the first bar, so you get several in you before you even start. First stop was Island Jim's Tiki Bar over by Catholic University. Considering I had on a hawaiian shirt and a ship captain's hat that was too small, this was the perfect place to start. Then we headed over to Buffalo Billiards for cigars and beer. Next stop was to be The Reef in Adams Morgan, but the line was already down the street, so we went to the Angry Inch instead, where I got to pee out the 2nd story back door. Last stop was Nexus Gold Club before heading back to Germantown. To be honest, I don't remember much of the strip club since we got there at 1am and had been drinking since 5:30pm. We got back to Germantown at 3am, and I slept until Noon the next day.

Other ideas: Dinner at Morton's or Charlie Palmer's, a Caps/Zards game followed by a crawl in and around Chinatown (one of my favorite bars down there is Irish Channel) or a stop at ESPNZone might not be too bad. A crawl in Adams Morgan (make sure to end the night with a slice of pizza) or Georgetown/Foggy Bottom.

I had to plan a bachelor party without strippers this summer, it was actually a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, it's important to cater to your audience. The group of us went out and did some paintball in the morning, we had 3 places setup for showers, rested for about an hour, met up for dinner at Texas De Brazil in Fair Oaks (awesome meat fest...) then went back and had a bit of a house party, played poker, etc.

However, sounds like you're looking more for a day out on the town. The atlas district in DC is fun. A lot of fun. I haven't been there but the H street country club is supposed to be great. Not the cheapest place in town, but where else have you seen the combination of an inside mini golf course and bar? Sticky Rice is nearby which is a great time, especially if you want sushi and/or a bucket of tater tots. At the end of the night, maybe a little Ben's Chili Bowl to soak up the sin.

I don't want to live in a world where this is.....POSSIBLE!!!

HOWEVER, you could plan a golf outing? With some....drinks.
Yes I think that could be done? A Golf Outing....with hookers, strippers and booze and the occasional dwarf.........

So I'm guessing his soon to be wife would not allow strippers? Are they still married and how hen peck is he. If its a family member sorry.

A buddy of mine got married not too long ago. We had his bachelor party in DC, but his wife-to-be said absolutely no strip clubs. Did the Adams Morgan thing, got to be around 1am...and promptly took him to Good Guys (The bouncer at Camelot wouldn't let us in because the groom and best man looked too drunk...I'm thinking they had issues already that evening because both were fine and neither slurred their speech or had a tough time standing upright). Needless to say, she wasn't too happy with us, but she still married him anyways.

i highly encourage you not to take your friends to atlantic city for a bachelor party.

If my wife told me no strippers I would not have married her. Its not about the strippers and more to do with the trust thing.

I couldn't agree with you more on this one

Texas de Brazil looks like a great option for dinner. Has anyone ever been to Overwood?

I ate there twice actually. First time i was there with my girlfriend and the food was awesome. The second time the service was abysmal, of course that's the time that i recommended it to my boss's when we were there for a conference.

I think the problem with the second time i was there that it was a group 11(two of whom were insurance agents for my company that i just met). It wasn't the atmosphere it was the food that lacked the quality that it received the first time i was there. Im assuming that it was the larger group that hurt the food quality. But if your getting drunk im sure you would have a good time anywhere.

I group of 11 is not that big and you probably had reservations so its not like you just popped in on them.
