Nightlife Guide to Essex Stag Weekends

After an epic day filled with activities, a drink is definitely on the cards for the night, right? Luckily for you lads, Essex is famous for its nightlife and you could be partying with some of the hottest reality TV stars and famous footballers in the trendest bars.

Chelmsford

If you’re looking to have a bar crawl, the only way is Chelmsford lads. All of the best hotspots are based around one another, which means you can stumble in and out of places pretty easily and get a taste for everything Chelmsford has to offer.

For one, the always popular Bar & Beyond is here to bring you a stylish edge to your night out, with graffiti style décor and delicious drinks. On from there is The Bootmaker, featuring neon lights to set the mood for your last night of freedom. If you’d prefer a cosy pub for your late night drink, The Nags Head offers great ales and friendly locals.

Brentwood

Brentwood’s nightlife is famous itself, having featured on shows like TOWIE as the backdrop for all the drama. One of the stars’ favourite places is Sugar Hut, a stylish venue with multiple cocktail bars and themed nights to get stuck into. Aside from the acclaimed nightclub, there’s a few bars that fly under the radar like The Dairyman, a hit for both food and drink if you feel a little peckish on the night.

Colchester

Although slightly more spread out, Colchester is a great place to celebrate the last blowout before your mate enters married life, and it’s worth the extra few steps to get around the bars dotted around the town. If you want friendly and inviting, the Purple Dog is right up your street with mega chilled out vibes.

For something a little livelier, we suggest you have some beers in Walkabout, an Australian themed bar that’s taken the UK by storm for it’s upbeat and different atmosphere. To finish your night on the right foot, ATIK nightclub is the be all and end all of nightclubs in the Essex county!
