Raw Bar in Hotel Arts has amazing cocktails, but it is more of a date night location.
Indie style live music - Palomino (good bbq upstairs too), Nite Owl, Broken City, Commonwealth, sometimes there are events at #1 Legion. Once you know the date I can be more specific. Hang The DJ at Dickens. Ironwood is more of a sit-down granola-folkie scene, and can be quite expensive for cover.
I would not agree that there is more to do in Banff:

I don't think anybody would argue there is more
to do in Banff; however, I think most partiers would agree that for a one-off big night like a stag, it is a guaranteed better time.
Catching a band is the last thing I'd want to do on a stag. That's something I really enjoy as a casual thing to do on a "whatever" night.
Having said that, your advice is very good for a low-key stag. Mine is good for a party stag. Both have their place.
OP: Are these guys looking for a party? And if they're not, would they rise to the occasion if one presented itself? Are they a get-shmammered-and-own-Banff kind of crew, or a sip cocktails and take in some folk music kind of guys? Knowing that will help give you the best advice possible.
