    I found this link for you: http://www.10best.com/destinations/virginia/williamsburg/

    It says the Green Leafe Cafe is one of the 10 best bars in the country, but it is pubby. Not sure if that is what your sister wants or if she is more of a club person. The link has resturants and bars that you can research and see if it fits her style.

    You guys will have a BLAST at Busch Gardens. It is such a fun theme park! What a fun and cool bachelorette party!

    Honestly, i cant think of a ton of clubs or stuff BUT busch gardens is an awesome amusement park and you will have a blast. If youre going to be there for 2 days get the jump pass and go to Water Country as well. You'll be whooped by the end of the day.

    At Busch Gardens~foodwise, i normally recomend the Fest house in Germany bc its air conditioned and youll want that. If anyone suffers from asthma, dont go to the smokehouse~I cant even breathe over there its so smokey. Yummy tho.

    As for dinners/food outside the park~there are some amazing places in Williamsburg. The Trellis is phenomenal~I have eaten there at least 6 times. Its in Colonial Williamsburg and if the weather is nice, its a great place to walk around. www.thetrellis.com

    I have never been to Second Street, but I have heard amazing things from a coworker. www.secondst.com/menu.html

    And of course, we have all the standard chains :-(

    Captain George's Seafood Buffet isnt bad~the one in Virginia Beach is better. This would be at the bottom of my choices. Its an upscale buffet, but still a buffet

    There is also an outlet mall not far, its good; not spectacular. The Prime Outlets in Williamsburg.

    When will you be here? i might be able to offer tips based on the time of year.

    If youre going to be here for a couple days, I can recomend some awesome places in Newport News, Hampton, Norfolk and Virginia Beach for throw down crazy bar times :-)

    Perfect time of the year to come here. Water Country is def out because it will be a little too cold. Mid to late september is the best time of year here :-) If you come September 21st to Halloween, Busch Gardens does Howl-O-Scream. Its the regular park during the day and turns into an awesome parkwide Halloween town after 7pm. Totally worth it! If I were you, Id def plan around coming to that.

    Personally, I would avoid the Great Wolf Lodge. Its not really near Busch Gardens and its a family friendly place with an indoor water park. Not really the ideal place for a bach weekend.

    There's nothing major at W & M those weekends (homecoming in in Oct) so if you want to do a quick trip to Col Williamsburg and Merchants Square, youre in the clear.

    Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

    Im with Blair... definately come down to Va Beach oceanfront if you want some good bar times! Smiley smile and its only about 30-45 minutes away depending on how bad traffic is that day. Plus, it will still be nice out and it wont be quite as touristy so you could hang out at the beach for a day

    and yeah, if you are looking for a crazy bach party stay away from great wolf. its a fun place but its more for families with kids.... not quite bach party material IMO

    Did you have themed bachelorette party shirts? I’m going in October but wanted to have some that were not just the Halloween “Bride or Die” or basic fall themed ones. Ideas!?
