If you're getting married or know someone who is, the week before the ceremony is the most crucial time to relax and enjoy some of the last bit of fun best buddies can have. Avoid the typical junky strip club or busted bar and do something different or adventurous for once. Some of these places still serve booze, so it doesn't have to be a square evening; just something you might be able to admit to the bride after the fact.

Bikini bars are the perfect stop before kicking off the night's shenanigans, providing some eye candy along with the stiff drinks. This particular bar is filled with beautiful women and good times. Catch the ball game while sampling some bar snacks. However, be respectful of the cash-only policy, something that keeps the bachelor party paper trail that much shorter.

When was the last time you sat on the edge of your seat and said "That is some fine horsemanship?" Mix in a bit of live jousting, some mead and a gigantic turkey leg, and the primal guy's night out you've been craving can begin. Yeah, it's a bit nerdy to see lords and ladies serving Diet Coke, but suspend some disbelief for the night while bolas, mandibles and lances fly through the air and into some poor sap's fake armor.
