I simply cannot stand people who think their whole world revolves around this kind of vile filth-- the kind of filth that only brings emotional emptiness and moral bankruptcy.

I could rant on for hours about this, but I'm already fifteen minutes late meeting a few friends of mine at a local gentlemen's club.... so I must continue this some other time.

Sober ideas...

Amusement park (saw you lived in CA so that shouldn't be a problem)
A concert

QFT. I went to one once that had two strippers that rode the DSD Requiem for a Dream style. No A2A though. :)

Giggity.

Haha, got me there. Seriously, it's the last time you get booze and boobies in your honor so why waste the chance at any regular party?

Do all of his friends a favor and don't invite them.


Truth is, though, the bachelor has NO say whatsoever as to what goes on at the bachelor party. So do whatever the hell you want to do.

My groomsmen took me out camping for my bachelor party. No booze (except for a couple of beers) and no strippers. I had an awesome time.

I understand you guys ripping him for no booze, but no strippers? Who the fuck cares? Sorry, i don't think strippers are that exciting and if they aren't your thing, why waste money on it?

Rent a school bus (designated driver), bar hop and end at the strip club.

We did this about a year ago for a buddy's BP (about 35 guys) and had a blast. By far the best BP I ever attended.

I got nothing for the OP.

Oooh, snarky responses. Well done.

No way am I having strippers at my fucking bachelor party, either.

I expected it. :D

Main reason I was thinking Dave And Busters is then there'd be drinks, and groom would have something else to do as well. Any other good places like this?

Btw, I'm in the SF Bay area.

Let me know which day this will be so I can hit up DNB and see you. Hahaha, anyways yeah... Bowling would be my next pick cuz 300 or Strike @ Cupertino is pretty good for a more party atmosphere. You want the bar and games and nighttime feeling there, but honestly I love DNB. Other than that I can recommend going lasertagging but you guys are old enough I'm sure paintball would be awesome. Once again I hope I'm not listing my hobbies (I have my own bowling equipment and paintball stuff too)

Go play paintball in the day, and finish it off with with a night of dave n busters. That way you can drink your bruises and soreness away (guys get physical anyways right? and i imagine you will be pretty worn out from paintball).

Now, if this is your idea of a bachelor's party, come on I think you guys should GO somewhere. The Bay Area is cool, but to me there's nowhere to go especially if you're in the South Bay. Tons of women do their bachelorette parties in SF with a night of clubbing, but a lot of guys I hear do better things. Stripper once in a while, but go to Vegas or something. I would honestly do something bigger because I already go to Dave n Busters plenty and I have weekends of paintball fun. These are typical things that plenty of people do already. Not everyone goes to Vegas or Mexico or whatever on a regular basis...

Strippers are traditional at bachelor parties. Did he get her the traditional shiny rock for several thousand dollars?

The future wife should be doing the same. Bachelorette parties have become pretty much the same as bachelor parties now.

Reminds me of that joke about going camping and waking up with a sore butt or something or other...

I had a friend like that, and for his party, we went to Target Masters and pretty much shot everything from revolvers to pump-action shotguns.

Not the kind of party I would be crazy about, but hey... to each his own.

Having said all that - take him to a bar! With blackjack! And hookers!
