re: Recommendations for Charleston , SC bachelor party-UPDATE WITH DATES

I've been to both quite a good bit (Savannah and Charleston). Savannah is just more fun in my opinion. It has better nightlife. Charleston has better restaurants. Savannah has better drinking. Charleston is a better place for a family vacation. Savannah is a better place for a bachelor party.

Both places would make for a great bachelor party, but in my opinion, the only aspect in which Savannah is better than Charleston is the open container law. I love Savannah and have been going there since I was a kid, but Charleston is definitely the better place for a bachelor party of an upper-20's group.

Charleston is certainly more expensive, but the bars are better, the restaurants are better, the proximity to the beaches/golf courses are better, and the sights are better. You're getting more for what you pay IMO. Savannah offers many of the same things that Charleston does, but what I've learned is that Savannah has more of a sketchy crowd - from the homeless to the tatted artsy crowd. It's one of the negatives of having an art school as the prominent college in town.

I will say this, however, your earlier recommendation for Chicago is on fricking point. I was there for a bachelor party last June and it was the most fun I've ever had in a weekend. Wrigleyville, the beach, the food, the girls - everything about Chicago is awesome. Go there, OP.
