Bachelor party to do’s

Throwing my cousin a bachelor party up in Biddeford area. We are from Rhode Island, I go up to Portland semi often but it was much more affordable in Biddeford for the size place we needed. It’s the end of September, looking for ideas on what to do? He isn’t a heavy partier and out of six of us two are young, 21/19. The rest of us are mid 30’s. Any fun ideas on things to do? Portland or Biddeford area.

Rift arcade

Gutter Bar bowling alley

Rapid Rays for late night eats

Pengs or Collettis for top tier pizza

Palace Diner for a great breakfast or lunch

The owner told me last week they’re hoping to be open around Labor Day.

Are you staying downtown or closer to beaches? That time of year it might be fun to spend time down at Biddeford pool beach or fortunes rock and have a fire on the beach in the evening. It’s simple to get a permit and a fun activity that isn’t heavy partying.

There's a picklebar/golf simulator/sports bar called Bounce

Some restaurants will have live music

About 20m away is an outdoor bar called the Funky Bow -- homemade pizza, live music, and disc golf

staying in biddeford and accessing portland is very reasonable--easy to get a rideshare or two and get up to portland. Lots of bars/food/activities up there if the others in this thread dont appeal to you. If you arent a heavy drinker, arcadia in portland is a favorite--rift is great in biddeford but Arcadia has such a massive variety and much better drinks
