Fun and entertainment Tarbes

Located in the city centre, the Mega CGR complex in the 8 rooms has conquered the tarbais public. It is not by chance: 1 200 comfortable armchairs, large screen, image and Dolby sound, digital, pop-corn, sodas… and then 10 movies to the poster with all the novelties of seventh art. Unique in Tarbes.

At the entrance of the pedestrian street, Couleur Café is an elegant and friendly tea room. You will always be welcomed and sweet and salty snacks are served all day long. Quiche, croque-monsieur or tortillas are served with salad, and the pastries change every day. If you are lucky, you will have the chance to taste the sabayon and the huge lemon pie, the two great classics of the place. The decor is warm, with large comfortable burgundy armchairs that match the woodwork for a cozy and warm atmosphere.

Located in the city center, l'Echoppe des Galopins is a cellar specialized in beer, with more than 300 references. You can taste many of them on the spot, advised by the waiters specialists in the matter. The place also does catering at lunchtime, a simple and tasty brasserie. In the evening, you can taste planks of cold meats and cheeses while listening to a concert. Many games are at your disposal and the place also organizes animations around the beer. A nice address to discover the specificities of this drink.

L'Europe is located in the center of Tarbes, near the pedestrian street and the department stores. This establishment has built up a solid reputation over the years. Unique and very original with its lighting and its adjustable colors, the place became the place to be for any generation. You can listen to jazz and contemporary music, and the theme nights are as frequent as they are varied. We recommend the selection of coffees and teas, and for later in the day, the list of famous cocktails.

This café with character is sober and efficient. The city dwellers enjoy meeting there every day. Ideally located in the heart of the city, it offers two terraces: one covered and heated in winter and the second, surrounded by palm trees, on the edge of the town hall square. As soon as the first rays of sunshine appear, it is taken by storm. Close to the major festive events, in summer and winter, it is the place to be in Tarbes! Sports aficionados also gather there, around the huge screen where the matches are played.

La Guinguette de l'Arsenal, this country bar-restaurant has quickly become one of the most popular places for parties in Tarbes. The festive and relaxed atmosphere attracts a young clientele who appreciate the low prices. The special evenings are numerous and the unbridled animations frequent. Flower power, beer-pong or afterwork themes give rhythm to the evenings. House cocktails, cheap beers, poke bowls and a tapas menu make for a great evening.

Immerse yourself in a futuristic sci-fi atmosphere with LASER QUEST! This 300 m² maze in the heart of the Arsenal takes you into an electrifying universe. Armed with harmless laser pistols, you'll take on your opponents as a team or solo in a maze that will test your sense of direction and strategy. Equipped with infrared cameras and a target harness, you'll have to avoid traps and ambushes to win in a whirlwind of laughter and adrenalin! It's a fun, interactive experience ideal for friends and family.

A punk-rock reference in the South of France, this den dedicated to alternative currents swears by excellence and originality. The annual program of its live shows is highly anticipated, so don't hesitate to follow it closely. The small stage of the Celtic welcomes punk, ska, rap, but also poetry, slam, or Occitan singing. Very lively, the atmosphere is supported by Jean-Louis who welcomes you every night and also offers you a nice beer menu.

Its decoration with hundreds of posters is also unique and worth a look.

The Acacias-Vic en Bigorre racecourse in Tarbes is one of a kind. It is the only racecourse in the Hautes-Pyrénées, apart from Laloubère, to host gallop races. However, its future is uncertain and a solution must be found before the summer of 2012, failing which the racecourse risks closure. Meetings have already been held with various local players, such as the principal of Lycée Jean-Monnet and the farm manager, as well as representatives of the region and local landowners. The region considers that this matter should be handled by local authorities, and that the long-term future of the racecourse will depend on the financial and human resources required for its upkeep. Several avenues of financing are being explored, notably with the regional and national racecourse federations, as well as the Conseil du Cheval. Further meetings are planned to discuss a possible transfer of responsibilities.

This intimate Italian theatre is pretty beautiful. It has a floor and three balconies, a corbel, a classical stage 16 meters long and 10 meters deep, with proscenium. A reception capacity of 632 places. The theatre of the Novelties welcomes part of the programming of the National Scene Tarbes-Pyrénées, so the quality and variety of performances are assured: concerts, theatrical forms or trekking to a wide audience.

A new structure made available to companies and artists by the Tarbaise municipality that wants to offer a cultural policy accessible to everyone. By working closely with local cultural associations, in order to support their creations, Irap proposes diversified programming: theatre, dance, music. A show, but also, in relation to the theme and the same place, workshops, conferences, exhibitions, readings and public rehearsals. The formula "Sunday at the Theatre", an original way to spend some Sunday afternoons in the theatre: show at 16 pm, followed by a convivial meeting with the troupe (often embellished with delicacies). Season programs are published on annual or monthly booklets.

The associative café of Tarbes has just celebrated its 5th anniversary. Solidarity and citizenship, it welcomes you for small meals at lunchtime, workshops during the day, events in the evening (concert, theater, movie-debate, reading...) or simply for a coffee and a chat. In this warm and welcoming place, you will also find a solidarity fridge, a computer corner, travel books, games... With the youth and popular education approval, it is a real model of social and solidarity actions but also cultural, where it is good to live!
