Review Summary

Les Foufounes Électriques is widely regarded as an essential, legendary institution within Montréal's alternative music scene, celebrated for its authentic underground spirit and high-energy atmosphere. Visitors frequently praise the venue for its diverse lineup of punk, metal, and hard rock performances, its affordable beer prices, and its spacious multi-level layout that includes a popular summer terrace. While the majority of guests appreciate the unique, grit-filled aesthetic and inclusive community vibe that spans generations, experiences with customer service are occasionally inconsistent, with some patrons reporting excellent, professional interactions and others encountering rude or inattentive staff. Despite occasional complaints regarding service speed or security, the venue remains a beloved staple for music fans who value its raw, historical character and its enduring role as a gathering place for the city's alternative subcultures.

Mauvais accueil par le gars posté a l'entrée. Pas sympa pas souriant ... il donne une mauvaise image alors qu'il représente la 1ere image quand on rentre.

Nice place, the thing is that I was asking tequila 1 by 1 & the barman a guy was serving to little amount of tequila, when I confronted him he said is because I didn't tip but how I am gonna tip everytime I ask for a tequila, that's at the end when I leave the place.

Toujours un plaisir de passer une soirée aux Foufounes Électriques.
C'est le repaire parfait pour les amateurs de bonne musique (rock, métal, punk) & d'ambiance décontractée.
?Prix très compétitifs sur la bière & les pichets.
?Personnel efficace au bar malgré l'achalandage des grands soirs.
?Une terrasse arrière incontournable pour la saison estivale.
?L'esprit underground de Montréal est bien vivant ici.
Un établissement authentique à découvrir ou à redécouvrir.

Toujours agréable d'aller aux Foufounes, prix compétitif, oeuvres d'arts troublants & événements intéressants.

Depuis les rénovations il y a quelques années, le concept est agréable & il y a plus de place pour différents événements. Parfois même plusieurs en même temps!

Une décennie de bons souvenirs pour moi à chaque fois que j'y remet les pieds.
