Full guide
Introduction
Fubar is the wildest après-ski spot in Argentière, located right by the Grands Montets base area. This bar kicks off the fun daily with happy hour from 16:00 to 18:00, followed by themed drink specials like “Cocktail Madness” at 21:00 and “Shot O’Clock” at 23:00. A signature feature is the Rodeo Bull – a bucking mechanical bull that dares patrons to “ride” it, adding a rodeo flair to alpine nightlife. There’s never a dull moment: whether you’re braving the bull or cheering on friends, the mix of laughter, music and adrenaline creates an unforgettable après-ski vibe.
Atmosphere & Offerings
Inside Fubar, you’ll find a rustic yet energetic atmosphere. The décor is casual and ski-themed, with pool tables, baby-foot (foosball), darts, and pinball machines spread around to keep everyone entertained. Live bands and DJs frequently pump out crowd-pleasing tunes ranging from rock to pop, turning evenings into dance parties. The bar serves a wide
selection of drinks
expect local beers on tap, affordable wines, and creative cocktails (especially during Cocktail Madness hour). Friendly bartenders often craft fun shots and there’s a buzz of multilingual chatter as skiers from around the world unwind. Fubar’s lively après-ski spirit is infectious – it’s common to see people still in ski boots dancing or challenging each other to a game of pool.
Events & Highlights
Fubar’s weekly schedule often includes special theme nights. For example, there may be live rock bands on Thursdays and DJ dance parties on Fridays. Sports fans will appreciate the big screen showing skiing videos or live sports events, adding to the communal feel. Of course, the highlight is the mechanical bull riding contests – manage to stay on the bull the longest and you earn boasting rights (and sometimes a free drink). With its late closing (often 02:00), Fubar is usually one of the last places still open in Argentière, making it the go-to spot for those who want to party late.
Tips
The bar can get crowded at peak après-ski (17:00–19:00) and around midnight when the “Shot O’Clock” begins. Arrive early for happy hour deals on beers and to secure a good spot near the action. If you plan to try the rodeo bull, do so before having too many drinks – it’s tougher than it looks! Finally, Fubar is open all winter season (and often in summer for mountain bikers too); no reservation is needed, but bring cash as large groups often do a whip-round for pitchers.
