The Bachelor Party Alternative

Guys look forward to the Bachelor Party. Women dread it. Long seen as the groom’s “last night of freedom”, Bachelor parties have a dubious reputation of liquor, women, and all-around excess. And frankly, the party is more often for the groom’s friends than it is for the groom.

Why not skip the “norm”…and the inevitable argument with your fiancée, and really enjoy a night-out with the guys closest to you? Consider these ideas for Bachelor Party spots. Sure, they may be G-Rated but they’re still big on fun!

Day Tripping
Get a jump on the party with a day activity. Go for a round of golf or place your bets at a local horse track. Chicagoland’s “mane” track is Arlington Racetrack in Arlington Heights.

Game Night
Guys love sports. So head-out to a game-themed spot and get competitive. Try Lucky Strike Lanes for bowling and billiards set against a lounge atmosphere. Or grab a game of air hockey at ESPN Zone. Head-out to one of the many city or suburban sports bars to watch a game and mingle with the crowds.

Raise the Bar
Still want serious bar time? Then pick one with a little character! Visit Hogs N Honeys for a no-frills establishment where the beer is flowing and the mechanic bull is bucking!

Dale Buziecki’s Bets: Avoid the eventual argument altogether and plan a group Bachelor and Bacherlotte party. Take part in the hottest bar trend and organize your own pub crawl! Go for a crazy theme! Some of the most popular Chicagoland crawls include the Double-Denim, Snuggie, and of course, Andersonville’s Zombie pub crawls!
