Planning a bachelor or bachelorette party is no easy task, so we’ve created an itinerary to make your adventure in Saratoga County a little bit easier. Whether you and your friends want to relax at a spa, enjoy a tasting at a local brewery, or spend the day at the races, we’ve rounded up the best Saratoga spots to enjoy your bachelor or bachelorette weekend!
Where to Stay and Kick off the Celebration
Start your weekend right by staying at one of our downtown hotel properties, like Embassy Suites by Hilton or the Adelphi—both off Broadway. If you're staying at Embassy Suites, bring your swimsuit and take a dip in their indoor pool before stopping at their chic bar for pregame drinks.
Celebrate in Saratoga: Drinks, Dining, and Dancing
No bachelor or bachelorette party is complete without Capital City Cycle Tours! Experience an unforgettable ride through the streets of Saratoga, complete with music, drinks, and your closest friends. Food is one of the most essential elements of a memorable bachelor or bachelorette party. In Saratoga, you’re spoiled for choice with many dining options, but you can’t go wrong with Italian! We recommend making a reservation at either Forno Bistro or Nove Italian Restaurant.
After dinner, take the party to 9 Maple for a nightcap (espresso martini, anyone?) or visit Bocage Champagne Bar, an intimate champagne and wine bar in downtown Saratoga. Then, rest up for a full day of excitement at the races!
Spend the Day at the Races (Or Sip and Savor at Local Breweries and Wineries)
Saratoga is truly the summer place to be! For 40 days, Saratoga Race Course becomes the heartbeat of the city. Get up early, pack a cooler with your favorite beverages, and make your way to America’s oldest sporting venue! After the races, stop by The Horseshoe for live music, great food, and cold drinks.
Not into horse racing? Set up a tasting at one of our many breweries or wineries. Druthers Brewing, located on Broadway, is one of the most popular brewpubs in the Capital Region. Their menu, filled with delicious comfort foods, is sure to impress every member of your group. If wine is more your style, we recommend scheduling a tasting at Saratoga Winery or Thirsty Owl Bistro. Both offer top-notch wines and mouth-watering tapas!
Dinner and Nightlife Hotspots for Your Saratoga Trip
For a white tablecloth experience, we suggest making a Saturday night reservation at 15 Church or Prime at Saratoga National. Make sure you dress to impress! After dinner, head to Caroline Street for a night of fun. The Bourbon Room offers a variety of bourbons, whiskeys, scotches, and specialty cocktails. Dance the night away at The Misfit or The Soundbar.
Brunch and Relaxation to Wrap Up Your Bachelorette Weekend
Before you head home, enjoy brunch at The Merc or Sweet Mimi’s, followed by a relaxing mineral bath at Roosevelt Baths & Spa (Saratoga is well-known for our naturally carbonated mineral waters) or enjoy a deep-tissue massage at Complexions Spa.
Shop Saratoga: Must-Visit Boutiques and Keepsakes
On your way out of town, make sure to do a little shopping at one of our many upscale boutiques and retail stores like Caroline & Main or Union Hall Supply Company. Visit Impressions of Saratoga or The Dark Horse Mercantile for all the best Saratoga swag!
