The theater of the Grand-Rond is a small theater with a beautiful popularity in Toulouse. It has to be said that its programming is as dynamic as it is sympathetic, like the team at its head. Just steps from the metro station François-Verdier, visit this small street to attend one of the two shows of the evening. For the originality of this theater is to propose an aperitif from 6:30 p. m., which opens sometimes to music, theater, mime or tales… The show can then start under the best auspices at 9 p. m. The theater receives regional companies but also broadcasts performances from anywhere else, for a selection always of quality. A very beautiful scene that all the smart guys must know!

This café-concert association keeps the city and its inhabitants moving outside the jazz festival. Pia and the team of volunteers organize themed meal-concerts. On the menu, jazz, salsa, rock, funk or flamenco... The stage is dedicated to world music. The menus are elaborated according to the musical style of the evening. In an affirmed approach of social and solidarity economy, the products privilege the short circuit and the small producers. La Peñac also offers game evenings, movie-debates, documentary screenings and various workshops.

The Maracana or Marak for the intimes is essential in this National Place. With its beautiful terrace under canopy cover, the Maracana opens late in the evening to the sound of electro-music for night-owls. You can also eat on the thumb at noon, for good value for money. And you will surely enjoy taking a little black in the morning, especially on Saturday when the streets animate with the market!

You've probably already stumbled on this small beer bar/bar located in rue de la Colombette, not far from Saint Aubin church. He underwent a complete breakthrough when his new owner arrived a few five years ago and got black from walls to ceiling. But do you misunderstand! The atmosphere is nothing dark, since the Shiny Shiny anime toulouse evenings, thanks to a trendy musical atmosphere, quality beer in quantity, as well as plates to be tasted not far from zinc… At noon and early evening you will be éclairerez with the Shiny Shiny first rays: in choice and on slate, cheerful aperitif and/or traditional brasserie menu: mustard andouillette, tartar and its worcestershire sauce or whole magret, south-West side served with wine from country or Chile… But it is only then that the Shiny Shiny really animates, coming to the night in Toulouse: You will taste one of the dozens of beers selected for you, from Faro or the Delirium Thinnest to the Kriek by the Blanche des Neiges, unless you prefer a sangria, a T-Punch or a Mojito served. You can then nibble some tapas served on platter: smoked ham, patatas bravas or foie gras… Ask the boss, he will advise you!

Erich, ex-patron of the legendary Erich Coffie, has moored his azure-blue barge on the Canal de Brienne to offer Toulousans a venue that has now become a must-see. The contemporary decor lends a warm character to this atypical venue, divided into two spaces: a bar and a concert hall. The venue is perfect for concert evenings. The program is eclectic and rich. Various Latin, soul jazz, blues and rock bands come here to perform, much to the delight of Toulousans!

Le Citron Bleu is a 100% humorous café-theatre. The small, intimate room is installed in one of the typical coal cellars that the neighbourhood is full of and offers a setting of character. On the ground floor, a bar is waiting for you to have a drink or an "aperitif basket" to get your strength back before offering you a nice slice of... laughter! On the program, stand-up, improvisation, imitation, magic or hypnosis, with the only common thread being a good communicative atmosphere. Children are not forgotten, with a show at 3pm, from Wednesday to Saturday, during school holidays. Enough to keep them busy and in good spirits! The good news: we can accompany them!

The Latin America in the very heart of Toulouse? Of course, it does exist! You will discover in this important place of Toulouse the Latin cultures along the canal, behind Halle aux Grains. This place is quite welcoming and unusual with its mezzanine allowing you to observe conveniently, while sipping a rhum arrangé, a daïkiri or a caipirinha offered chilled, the dancers who perform downstairs, on the dance floor! Because if you want to drink a cocktail while eating tapas in Puerto Habana, we recommend this place to you for dance!

And on Friday night the party with live mix until late in the night, a lot of people and a hot atmosphere. The establishment is part of the Bar-Bars collective, a network of musical bars. Festival every year in November.

This former cinema, well known to the people of Toulouse, located near the boulevards and bought a few years ago by the Chevaliers du Fiel, has moved away from humorous programming to devote itself fully to music. It strives to represent it in its widest diversity: soul, rock, funk, French chanson, rap and even big band... Without forgetting to highlight local artists and groups, of course! Enough to satisfy the passionate as well as the curious. A bar is open half an hour before the concert and, to extend your evening, you can dine at the Comptoir du Rex, a friendly tapas bar.

Close to the Canal du Midi, at the bottom of rue Camille Pujol, Baraka Jeux has already existed for some twenty years in Montpellier, where the idea has proved its worth. Set in a country bistro-style setting, with a cup of coffee or a good beer, you have access to over 1,000 board games! Far from being a place reserved exclusively for the rarer players, you'll find games here for all tastes and ages. Games of strategy, speed, bluffing, drawing, skill or mime, card or dice games, children's games, and if you're tired of sitting still, billiards or darts...

Located a little further back from the busy boulevard d'Arcole, La Comédie de Toulouse was created by the duo of comedians made in Toulouse, Les Chevaliers du Fiel. You are here in a theatre dedicated to humour and creation: one-man-show, improvisations and comedy follow one another in a variety of styles, halfway between theatre and café-théâtre. Beautifully decorated in an Italian style, the comfortable room welcomes you for moments of certified good humour.

The proposals - hot and cold - are sometimes less classic: hot white milk chocolate, cheesecake, teas and various herbal teas... An online shop is also available to order the brand's products.

Le Cratère is a charming little cinema in Toulouse that's a real treat for film buffs. With just 80 seats and one screen, it offers "Art et Essai, Recherche et Découverte" programming, 80% of which is made up of revivals of films after their run in the larger Art et Essai cinemas in the city center.

In addition to its good films, Le Cratère offers the friendly atmosphere of an "old neighborhood cinema", ideal for an authentic experience.

The Colomiers Bowling Stadium is one of the largest complexes in the region: on nearly 4,000 ^m2 entirely dedicated to games and leisure, there are twenty lanes with a particularly original fluorescent decoration. They are accompanied by eleven billiards tables (American or pool), a restaurant with a brasserie spirit adapted for a quick and unpretentious meal, as well as a discotheque reserved for those over 30 years old. It is also possible to start a laser-game game and even experience a virtual reality session. Be careful, the place is lively, musical and very popular, so it is better to go out with friends rather than for a quiet evening of relaxation! For the younger ones, it is of course possible to organize a birthday party.

Located in the city center, l'Echoppe des Galopins is a cellar specialized in beer, with more than 300 references.

At the Basque Bar, life is happy, especially at Happy Hour! Room, terrace and indoor garden never run out of space even when the snow softens the pink of the pink city. If you are looking for an address to experience the excitement of rugby matches in an atmosphere of madness, come here on the days of broadcasting. A giant screen awaits you in a dedicated room or on the facade with brick arches, on days of international cup competitions! On holiday evenings, we dance, we toast to the sound of the latest hits. The average age is then rather young and unbridled but you can enjoy the Basque Bar during the day or at lunchtime. Let's tell ourselves that!

A gourmet and cultural address, it pays homage to Vauban, an inquisitive and fascinating ^17th-century mind, who built the "percée" at Les Cammazes. A nod to history. In this fully restored former barn, you can eat a few slices of bread and talk about books at the same time. If you have a sweet tooth, you'll find several delicious desserts and "tartines souvenirs d'enfance". You'll also find some very good organic sorbets, fresh drinks made by local artisans, and syrups.

The Morning Bar delights all the moments of a busy city day… From the opening, sit on the terrace for a very tight black and watch the news of the day on "ducks" available… In the afternoon, sip a fresh fruit juice for the break, before enjoying at the counter a cooked wine or a bière beer… This is one of the most pleasant terraces in Toulouse, very well located close to the many restaurants adjoining the square of the Carmelites and the rue des Filatiers… A quick service, friendly reception for this coffee as you love… All you have to do is find a table!

Created in 1988, the Théâtre Garonne devotes its activity to contemporary arts, be it theatre, dance or music. It is housed in a former river water pumping station, made up of four fairground brick buildings, where the workshops and a 255-seat auditorium have been installed. Entirely renovated, it has a beautiful terrace overlooking the Garonne and a bar where you can sip a drink while waiting for the stage. The programme is international and helps to make an offbeat contemporary theatre more accessible, sometimes considered to be hermetic. Thanks to its many partnerships, this theatre is a beacon of artistic and cultural life.

Le Canabal is a beautiful renovated farmhouse where you can stay in a magnificent gîte or a lovely guest room, enjoy an inventive cuisine based on old vegetables or have a drink on the panoramic terrace.

Conviviality and entertainment are guaranteed!

The Carbet d 'Oc is a very lively tapas bar located in the lively Carmes district. A place where you can enjoy a drink for the aperitif with a few terraces on the terrace before dinner on the spot or in a restaurant nearby, and where you will be happy to return at the end of the evening to make the world… We also enjoy the evenings of the Carbet d 'Oc, to listen to Djs in madness! A nice address for festivities.

Your senses are quickly awakened by this tearoom. First your vision, which discovers a square surrounded by superb medieval architecture. Then your sense of smell and taste, as you encounter home-made pastries, artisanal ice creams, coffees, teas, lemonades, homemade fruit juices... At lunchtime, we offer a vegetarian savoury break. Everything is organic. Coffee and tea are available in bulk. This place is a paradise on the terrace in summer, or in the cosy little room in winter, with a cup of hot tea and a tasty pastry.

Great Innovation at CGR Blagnac: This is where the group chose to set up its first ICE room (Immersive Cinema Experience), understand a full immersion room! A state-of-the-art laser projector and 52 sound sources plunge you into the heart of your film, which you will enjoy comfortably in a club chair enveloping and inclined to be able to reserve the right place! But this room is not the only novelty, since in 2016 the whole multiplex has benefited from a profound renovation. Redesigned spaces, furniture with noble materials, dynamic lighting, it's a big blow to the Mega CGR of Blagnac, which does not forget its brands of factories. On the one hand, special sessions (concerts, pre-first or opera), on the other hand wide possibilities of privatization, from the lobby for an exhibition, until the reservation of one or more rooms, for business or private events.

In the historic center of Auch, this pub honors Ireland by offering lively evenings with happy hour, match broadcasts and roborative meals. Before you hit the dancefloor until the end of the night, take advantage of the menu featuring pizzas, flammekueches, burgers, grilled meats, fish & chips and Gascon dishes. The festive spirit takes over from the aperitif hour and lasts well into the night. Every weekend, DJs come in to get the 20-35 year-olds dancing... but not only!

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.

In this magical place, the shapes, the furniture, the colors, the setting and the scents blend together as in a dream. Tearoom, confectioner, chocolate maker, ice cream maker with 18 flavors but also restaurant and creperie, it is the den of all pleasures. In summer, pasta and salads accompany chicken or black pork, in winter a soup and buckwheat pancakes, including the famous ones with goat cheese, or black pudding and apples, enchant the gourmets. The farandole of desserts is formed by forty pastries: from the waffle to the French toast through the pancakes.

This authentic bistro stands out for its friendly atmosphere and selection of beers. It offers a peaceful lunch break with tasty French dishes.

The Casino d'Ax is a must-see institution. The large gaming room was decorated by a Spanish artist, and beautiful monumental frescoes cover the ochre and patinated walls. The 50 rustling slot machines ring with fresh and flashy coins. In a more confidential room: roulettes, balls and blackjack jealously guard the secret of chance. Below the gaming room, the discreet restaurant on the mezzanine dominates the situation and allows you to take a break. In summer, cocktails are served on the terrace.

There are few discos in the Gers and you have to go to Tasque to find one of the best! Do not be afraid by the name of the village, it is charming and, above all, it is at the exit of Plaisance, one kilometre. The dynamic Jean-Denis is at the head of the establishment he leads with good humour and a keen sense of celebration. In this decidedly generalist nightclub, theme nights join, for the delight of sleeping. Zouk, zumba, techno, latin or kitsch: the monotony does not exist in Mas! Yannick, resident deejay, keyboard over the 80 s and they are regularly honoured. Ideal for an outing on the weekend, the disco is a former mill renovated, especially like the surrounding atmosphere and the walls of stone, splendid.

With still four or five films at the poster, the cinema is part of the network Cinema The 65: an opportunity to access festivals and events organised by the The de Tarbes.

La Biérothèque has a very big plan: over three hundred beer references, eleven taps and a room for up to one hundred and sixty people. Alongside brown and blond beers, wines and spirits, you can look forward to an evening of discovery and tasting. And don't worry, you can enjoy the experience without counting the cost: the metro's not far away! Try a blond with the evocative name Méfons-nous des escargots, or opt for the more rustic Une queue de charrue ambrée. You'll leave delighted by the good atmosphere here, with, as a bonus, a range of new expressions that promise to liven up your next evening!

The Galeries Gourmandes, a department store located in the heart of Bagnères-de-Luchon, is a must. We like the "rustic chic" setting and the friendly atmosphere of the first floor. We can meet to eat cheese and charcuterie plates, around a glass of wine (nice menu), or we can prefer to settle down on the second floor in a more lounge atmosphere and choose a dish from the menu: confit of pig's breast, very perfumed Mikado sea bream, razor clams or chipirons... Something to satisfy all palates!

Finally! When you think: let's go somewhere for a drink? But where? Here you are. The Royal Bodega is the temple of fun, the place to go out with friends. A good-natured and serene address.

For thirteen years now, Limelight has made a place for itself in the Toulouse nightlife scene. It defines itself as a club and lounge concept with a futuristic spirit. Quite a programme!

The highlight that everyone loves is the heated terrace at the back of the establishment, perfect for summer nights. Tuesday is rum night, Thursday is foam party!

In the heart of the pink city, the Théâtre de la Cité is Toulouse's national drama centre. This imposing building of bricks, glass and stone, built in the footsteps of the former Toulouse Conservatory, echoes loud and clear the voices of poets and playwrights. Since 2018, under the direction of director Galin Stoev, has been launching a programme for the widest possible audience. This is a long way from elitist theatre. A place of life and sharing opens up. Similarly, space is given to creation and co-production, to artists' residencies. The theatre is oriented towards the repertoire of tomorrow, poetry, circus and puppet arts, music or dance.
