Bachelor Party in Austin, San Diego, or Denver

Nope, not a dick move at all. I am normally the first to use the search function, but didn't in this case. Well played and my apologies.

Palazio>Yellow Rose if you're wanting to go to strip clubs. Top Golf is always fun although its about a 20 minute trip from downtown. Plenty of places to have a good time.

no problem. you would definitely be stuck at lake travis. definitely stay downtown in austin. so awesome to walk everywhere.

on a bachelor party i went on there (i also went to school there for 2 years), we went paintballing on day (hot as frick) but it was awesome. I could track down the name of the place if youre interested. none of us were paintballers, but I highly recommend.

Dont do strip clubs, such a waste of time and money when you have downtown right there and there will be no less than 30 bachelorette parties you see looking to get wild

also, UT games are pretty lame, especially the tailgating. just a heads up. dont expect anything close to an LSU party

Not to complicate things, and I may do a title change, but my top three options are Austin, San Diego, and Denver.

San Diego would be my top choice, but Austin is currently in the lead due to the convenience factor for all the people I know living in Louisiana still. Anyone have a reason why one city would be best? I think all three would be valid options.

I think Denver should be eliminated. It's a fine town but not much of a destination in winter if you're not going to the mountains.

San Diego would be awesome right now. The weather is always perfect and there is a great weekend to be had pretty easily. You could have a night bar hopping at Pacific Beach or OB, a decent dinner somewhere scenic (Coronado, La Jolla, Gas Lamp), and a sailing trip aboard Stars & Stripes or one of the other sight seeing boats during an afternoon. Not to mention all the breweries to tour, the USS Midway, the beach, etc.

How is Austin a convenient drive from La? Hell, it's a 5 hour drive from Lake Charles. I would much prefer to fly in and fly home when the weekend is over - nothing kills me like a Sunday hungover drive.

I like your thinking though of these random fun cities. Mine was in Louisville, KY and probably the most fun one I've been on. We went bar hopping Thursday night, went to bourbon distilleries Friday, and had 2 tables on millionaire's row at Churchill all day Saturday on the weekend of Preakness (it was ~$40/person). Also went to a mediocre strip club and ate like kings. Everyone left happy.

Austin seems like a popular destination for bachelor parties and rightfully so.

That being said, I recently visited some family recently in Asheville, NC. That would be one hell of a bachelor party spot as well.

Asheville is what Austin was in the '70s. Love that town.

I agree. I went for the first time and was very impressed with it.

Austin has changed for the better (business) and for worse (losing its identity).

Yep, it's a mixed bag. I can see both sides. Sometime I lament the loss of the small town feel, the true uniqueness, the real independence, and relative obscurity, but at other times - like when it comes to having a job or having a zillion great restaurant and bar opportunities, brand new upscale grocery stores and movie theaters everywhere, I am thankful for it. Then, when I go run the trail around the lake and there are condo developments in what used to be quiet woods, I am bummed about it again.

I'm reading this thread, and was actively involved in the other thread. We are looking for places as we speak to get, but I just don't know where downtown. There will be roughly 15 people and I want a penthouse type atmosphere, but can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated.
