Run a pub quiz about the groom, add a pint-pouring challenge at a Guinness experience, and finish with a sing-along dare in a pub with live music if staff are happy. The most famous bar area is busy and pricey, and some venues limit large groups, so plan a few quieter pubs and book ahead.
Check group policies. Some Dublin pubs restrict large stag groups or ask for bookings, so ask before you arrive and keep the group size sensible.
