Denver, Colorado
Denver is perfect for a bachelor
party. Home to the Great American
Beer Festival, the Mile High City lays
claim to over 100 brewpubs and
breweries, making for the perfect
pub crawl. It’s also the gateway to
the Rockies and there’s plenty to do
for adrenaline junkies, like skiing,
snowboarding and white water
rafting. Add in eight professional
sports teams, a thriving food scene,
dozens of golf courses, miles of bike
trails, numerous burlesque and
vaudeville acts, and the groom-to-be
won’t come home disappointed.

Toronto, Canada
Head north to Toronto and this
cosmopolitan city will give you plenty
to brag about later. There’s no
shortage of pro sports venues here,
including the Bluejays, Maple Leafs,
Marlies, Raptors and Argronauts.
Check out Hogtown’s trendy
Entertainment and Distillery Districts
for great eats, pubs and nightlife.
During the day, enjoy a skyscraping
view atop the CN Tower, then visit
the Hockey Hall of Fame. Outdoor
recreational activities abound during
summer and winter, but for real
manly fun, try your hand at archery
tag, axe throwing or one of Toronto’s
many escape rooms.

Key West, Florida
If sun, surf and bikinis are more to your
liking, consider Key West. Charter a
boat and go marlin fishing or try your
hand at wind surfing. When you’re
ready to party, walk over to Duval
Street and toss a few down at the
Green Parrot Bar or The Bull & Whistle,
where anything goes. Then grab a bar
stool at Sloppy Joe’s for some of the
area’s best live music — it’s been a Key
West tradition since the day prohibition
ended in 1933. In the morning, Blue
Heaven oers the perfect hangover
breakfast. Afterwards, take a ride on
the Conch Tour Train for a scenic and
relaxing afternoon.

Bali, Indonesia
The island of Bali oers endless
opportunities for male bonding. Part
of the Coral Triangle, its surrounding
coastal waters possess the highest
biodiversity of marine species on the
planet. Consequently, it’s perfect for
scuba diving and snorkeling and its
beaches oer plenty of opportunity
for water sports. Bali is known for its
forested volcanic mountains and
they’re ideal for canyoning, free
diving and abseiling. A popular
tourist hang out, Bali has a thriving
party scene, scrumptious restaurants,
award-winning golf, lots of party
boat companies and plenty of eye
candy to enjoy.

Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam has been a popular
bachelor party destination for
years, given its no holds barred
reputation. It’s famous for its red
light district and its many coee
shops, but the “Venice of the North”
is also known for its many centuries-
old canals and bridges, spectacular
architectural buildings and fabulous
museums. Amsterdam’s nightlife is
an experience all its own and is part
of the reason the city attracts
5,000,000 international visitors
each year. Consider taking one of
the beer bike tours for a close and
personal look, if you can hang on.
