My little brother is getting married this summer, and we're trying to figure out how to send him off in style. I've had a few ideas, but would love to hear some more suggestions.
The followings rules do (unfortunately) apply:
1) No strippers, strip clubs, hookers, etc...
2) DC-area, or possibly NYC-area
3) The night can end in a bar or club, but that shouldn't be the entire event
The things I've thought of so far:
1) Caps game
2) Dave & Busters
3) AllSports

Hang out at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. The city itself is a shithole but that area has some decent things to do during the day. You can eat lunch at Hooters (since you can't have strippers), drink a ton of beer, stumble to the Aquarium, hit up ESPN Zone and then hop in a cab to close the night bar hopping in Fells Point. Everything is walking distance or a short cab ride away so you don't have to worry about DD.
My college buddies and I have done it a few times and it's a pretty solid way to celebrate.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
This sounds kind of ghetto but it's really fun. There are a couple of UNBELIEVABLE golf resorts in West Virginia. A group of guys and I every year go up around Mother's Day to Stonewall Resort (I think it's still 5 star rated) for a golf trip, but a few months ago we went back and did a bachelor party at another resort nearby. A few days of golfing, tons of booze, there are some nice bars / restaurants usually on the resort (Stonewall has an awesome one with a firepit). You can also rent houseboats (YES) or really nice cabins for everyone to crash in.
I don't know if you guys play golf, but that's a good way to celebrate just a "guys" weekend like a bachelor party. The last time we were at Stonewall there was a bachelorette party just down the street from the cabin we stayed in and once we found them the entire weekend got off the hook. AND I know you don't want strip clubs for some reason, but there are strip clubs within short driving distance haha

Golf is about $100-$125 per round IIRC

^^ Just read through the website again, Stonewall is ranked #22 out of the top 100 resort courses in the US. We've tried a couple other resorts that have been nice but that is by far my best suggestion.

There are also firing ranges in the Nova area you could go to. Most of them are handgun only but some of those a little bit outside of the beltway allow rifles. Some of them do handgun rentals too.

I don't know of any *inside* the beltway.
The only one I know of that rents firearms is Blue Ridge, whom I choose not to frequent any longer.

There's a place in Springfield (Gilbert Range) that rents handguns (or so they say).

We'll probably punt on the shooting range - we go shooting a lot anyway. Thanks for the suggestions though, keep 'em coming. If you've got some specific places you like in DC or wherever, I'd love to hear them.

Interesting. The NRA doesn't have it listed.

went to Atlantic City and gambled and played paintball for my buddy Greg's bachelor party.
paintball was a lot of fun, i'd recommend that. and it was even in the cold and outside

Good idea.

is this just an overnight deal or a weekend deal? That could factor in at a lot of potential places.

Good idea. PEVs and Hogback Mountain are in Leesburg if you decide to go with the paintball route. Both of them are pretty good places for it.
