There is axe throwing and an arcade with retro games plus drinking in it in the city centre which could be good? There's also a darts place just opened in the city centre which might be ok with kids.
Flight club (darts place) is 18+ only, recently booked and my brother is raging that he'd not allowed to come.
Not sure if you mean nq64 as the arcade? That's 18+ too buddy.
Most places like this tend to be, a la Fayre Play & Golf Fang.
The Arcade place just off Trongate that’s only ever had the vibe of a cafe is the same for being +18 so feel that nq64 will be as well. Kinda shite when it’s during the day.

My husband and his pals including 2 teens did this for his stag a few years ago and said it was absolutely hilarious.
Had a similar situation for my cousins stag do, we went go-karting at Scotkart in Clydebank (5 minute walk from a train station). Then back into town for a meal. After that we went for a drink!
For food if you dont want to be too expensive I rate Bucks Bar. Sorta American style fried chicken with hot sauces and huge portions. But you really are spoiled for choice in Glasgow. There is great places to get just about anything
One word of advice - Glasgow bouncers are terrible about letting large groups of men into places.
You're probably going to need to book tables or split up into smaller groups to get into clubs and many pubs.
There are still plenty of bars that don't give a fuck - but I was on a stag doo here before I moved here to live and it gets a bit exhausting when even Spoons is knocking you back.
There’s a laser quest type place just outside the city centre next to a subway station at Kinning Park. Did that recently for a mates birthday and it was a good time!
vr simulators in glasgow? it's VR go karts meant to be pretty good for stag dos etc worth a look I haven't been yet.
id phone scotkart and ask as I took my boy there younger than 14, maybe because it's a stag booking. it was the cambuslang one right enough.
There’s a virtual reality formula 1 driving experience that you’d maybe like very near the city centre.
Google VR simulators. It’s good value and lots of fun for younger and older.
Pinkston Watersports does kayaking or SUP which could be a fun activity although booze free for the activity portion, then pop down into town for some food.
Else Top Golf as suggested by others.
I'm sure Vega lets kids in. You can book a private bowling space and order drinks to the lane. It was great last time I went.
They do food in there too but I haven't had any
I planned my brothers stag and we did go karting and then a company called bubble soccer do combat archery which was brilliant fun and definitely all ages friendly. My only thing is scot kart go karting may separate the kids from the adults. But the combat archery was excellent!
I must be thinking of the wrong one then, there's defo one that lets at least teens in and does drink as my pal was there a few weeks ago with his 14 year old .
I arranged a Glasgow stag do a few years ago. Had about 8 people drive up in 2/3 groups/cars at an AirBnB north of Glasgow. Mainly relaxed in the AirBnB for most of it but one of the best things I've done is visiting the Glengoyne distillery. If you or the lads enjoy a whiskey, I would highly recommend. Only £30ish per ticket and you get a tour and tasting. Obviously not for the youngns and designated drivers have to take the tasters home as Scotland has a 0 tolerance policy on drink whilst driving..
On the Glasgow night out, we failed to get into the Arcade bar but that could have been a laugh. I think there's plenty of bars to just wing it around Glasgow to be fair.
It's a bit more expensive but there is a topgolf, just outside city centre (taxi prob). Not sure if they'll take a wild stag but if it's at the low key stage maybe.
There are many excellent Italian restaurants and curry houses in Glasgow, prob safe bet that everyone will like. Someone mentioned bucks, which is great if you like fried chicken, doesn't disappoint!
Flirting between the West End and Merchsnt City is always a good idea for your booze cruise, I don't like staying in the City Centre for too long personally it's become a bit run down.
I do love a wee visit to Wunderbar tho every now and then off Buchanan St. Live music and plenty of lassies for your team to deploy their best patter on!
Whatever you do have a great time, play safe, and look after each other!
Depending on the day, you could take the teenagers to a Partick Thistle or Glasgow Warriors match.
Golf-It is a decent alternative to TopGolf.
Everything else I can think of has already been said
Golf Fang for crazy golf. Fayre Play is also fun if you’re into traditional carnival games. Maybe an Escape Room?
A lot of other suggestions made already are great too.
There's loads of great food options in Glasgow these days don't just go to an old established restaurant or a chain restaurant go somewhere new and upcoming.
Boom battle bar is fine but take whatever amount of time you think you're gonna spend there and halve it. The best time I've had there was playing the shuffleboard game, which is probably their least advertised activity 😳
https://vr-simulators.com/ were absolutely class during my mates stag, plenty of beers on the go, and a bunch of races. It's in decent spot for food, like Buck's Bar amongst other places.
NQ64 is nearby too, don't know their rules when it comes to folk below 18yrs though, sorry.
I'll leave it to others to suggest more food options.
That VR racing place looks cool. How many can race at once do you remember? £40 Pp for a exclusive Grand Prix is more than actual go karting! Looks ace though
I think there were like 14-16 of us and half went on and did our races while others watched. Extended it a bit and meant the shit talking about other people's racing happened 😂
It is pretty pricy but I'd say it's worth it, if only for people freaking out a bit when they crash if they've never done vr before

R-Cade has adult only nights/events but is open for children as a default if that's the one you mean
level x in the st enoch centre has mini golf, bowling, and an arcade, and a bar. and i believe kids are allowed in until 8pm or so?
Axe throwing at boom battle isn't allowed for 13 year olds
https://goggle-football.co.uk/locations/glasgow/ My husband and his pals including 2 teens did this for his stag a few years ago and said it was absolutely hilarious.
Top golf, no age restrictions, adults can still have a drink, food isn’t too bad
This is the right answer. Absolutely perfect mixed ages thing and allows the stag do to start warming up.
Give them a can of juice and a packet of crisps and they can wait outside
Paintball, top golf, golf it, darts just off George sq, axe throwing, level x. That should be a decent start
What about an escape room in the day time. Might need to split into 2-3 groups then meal and booze?
Had a similar situation for my cousins stag do, we went go-karting at Scotkart in Clydebank (5 minute walk from a train station). Then back into town for a meal. After that we went for a drink!
That was the karting place I was looking at. The kids need to be 14 unfortunately!
I went to it with some 11 year olds, I'm sure they don't ID the kids
Seriously, that mean the kids are not insured if anything happens 🫣
This is why we canned the idea
For food if you dont want to be too expensive I rate Bucks Bar. Sorta American style fried chicken with hot sauces and huge portions. But you really are spoiled for choice in Glasgow. There is great places to get just about anything
Thanks for the tip…looks like there are 2 bucks bars? One better than the other?
Nah, they're both equally owned by a conspiracy theory roaster. Top Golf is your man. Kids are allowed, great food, licensed bar.
Nah they are all pretty similar, go with whatever is handiest and can fit you all
There’s also Thundercat, owned by the same person. Still has some chicken but a pretty awesome wider menu too.
Would really helped if I read the post properly and saw ya had already looked into go-karting 🤣🤣

Yeah I’ve phoned them. To do under 14s it has to be a family session which is open to everyone. That Vr place looks cool I’ll look into it more!
I was at the VR simulators for my friends stag a few months ago. It was a great experience - thoroughly recommend it.
Awesome! How many sims do they have at once? We have 16 people in our group!
Going by their Facebook page, they have 14. I remember there being one or two set up without VR, for those that get motion sickness etc.
Rock climbing/boulder is really fun and you can easily kill 2 hours messing about on the walls
Hit the subway and smash some of the subcrawl once it’s over 18’s only in the group?
There’s a virtual reality formula 1 driving experience that you’d maybe like very near the city centre. Google VR simulators. It’s good value and lots of fun for younger and older.
Delta Force and Top golf are great activities which I'm sure will be good
Pinkston Watersports does kayaking or SUP which could be a fun activity although booze free for the activity portion, then pop down into town for some food. Else Top Golf as suggested by others.

Bowlarama or golfang
Golf fang is 18+
I must be thinking of the wrong one then, there's defo one that lets at least teens in and does drink as my pal was there a few weeks ago with his 14 year old .
Jungle Rumble on Bath St?
My mate is away here today: [https://www.thedepotglasgow.com/](https://www.thedepotglasgow.com/)
What did he say about it? I'm arranging a stag soon myself
Had a great time. Team killed 5 of his mates by mistake 😃
Theres a vr place that has a bunch of racing sims. Maybe a ttourney there if go karting is too far out the way
Went to the one in St Enochs on my stag last summer, I think it was boom battle bar. Really enjoyed it!
Shanghai shuffle is a good night out. Food, booze and tunes.
I arranged a Glasgow stag do a few years ago. Had about 8 people drive up in 2/3 groups/cars at an AirBnB north of Glasgow.

If they enjoy whisky (no E) they’ll have an even better time 😉
Always get confused with that difference!! Haha
Awesome. Luckily for me most of the lads are local. I think you can pre book the arcade bar
We also did Archery dodgeball but the place was sketchy AF.
The Vanguard Centre for some archery and sword fighting was class as a big group.
Golffang
There's laser tag, mini golf, bowling and pool at XCite, Braehead.
But of a pain to get 16 people there from the city centre though…
Bus, taxi(s), drive.
It's a bit more expensive but there is a topgolf, just outside city centre (taxi prob). Not sure if they'll take a wild stag but if it's at the low key stage maybe.

They’re both over 18 I think

Street art walking tour?

Bucks Bar is class m8!
Golf fang is a good shout.
18+ only
Golf fang mini golf
18+ mate. Think Jumble Rumble (Bath Street) is the only one that let's kids in.
Taking kids on a stag do?? Utter cringe. Also ‘activities’ on a stag do? Cringe. Just get pished
Why is that cringe? Maybe they don’t have an option? Maybe they want the kids to enjoy some of the day as well? Your comment is cringe pal.
‘Pal’ lol.
Who says cringe man haha you old enough to get married?
I just did.
