You can't beat the vibe of this place. If you're a metal fan or punk fan, you'll feel right at home. The venue is excellent for small artist. It really makes intimate shows

Back in the 80's, affectionately called in french'Les Foufs', the venue was to Montreal what CBGB was to Manhattan in the late 70's. The music was loud, beer was cheap & mohawks were dangerously spiky, to say the least. To the sound of Skinny Puppy, Bauhaus & Siouxsie & the Banshees, with my good friend Mark & way too many beers, this is where I celebrated my first car, a ruined-down AMC Renault Alliance that barely made it through the winter. Nowadays, I go back occasionally so to remember the spirit, reminisce with my old punker friends still working on their art projects since the 80's, check out if my graffiti still entertain the toilets & hope the impossible mini-putt course that was under the stairs would one day rise from the graveyard. The venue, which was back then barely the size of a trunk, is now set over several floors, & might be a tad touristy (but a legend is a legend, so I'll close my eyes on this last fact). With plenty of indoor & outdoor seating area, a mezzanine & 2 showrooms, you can still chill over affordable beer, & later, when the beer-buzz hits the right spot, pogo-slam your way across the dance floor & yell at everybody that you were one of the originals !... Or just show-off & pretend…
Is punk dead ? No, it just got more comfortable & richer, ask Lydon !

The mixologists behind the bar are so willing to listen & quickly build the exact drink that the punks & drunks are demanding, it's such a beautiful dynamic. Don't ask for a menu, be an adult.
Go watch a show, have a pint, enjoy Montreal's biggest punk bar/showspace that's been around since the 90s.

Un pilier de la culture underground montréalaise
Fondé en 1983, Les Foufounes Électriques (ou simplement'Foufs') est considéré comme le plus vieux lieu de musique alternative de Montréal, & une véritable institution underground.
Situé au 87, rue Sainte-Catherine Est, en plein Quartier latin, l'établissement s'étend sur plusieurs niveaux, comprend deux salles de concert & un dance floor.
Un éventail de genres musicaux
On y joue un mélange dynamique de punk, métal, hardcore, grunge, hip-hop & électro, avec des styles qui varient selon les soirées.
Ce lieu a accueilli des groupes iconiques tels que Nirvana, Green Day, Queens of the Stone Age, Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, & d'autres figures majeures de la scène alternative.
Ambiance unique & authentique
Les murs décorés de graffitis, les sculptures étranges & les zones extérieures & intérieures vibrantes créent une ambiance brute, éclectique & sans prétention.
On y retrouve également des tables de billard, des babyfoots & une terrasse, contribuant à une atmosphère conviviale & décontractée

My absolute favorite bar in Montréal! The music is great (punk, rock & metal but you will survive!), the beer selection is good & the beer is cheap! They also have a venue upstairs for shows & nice, green terrasse in the back! A non-nogotiable if you are visiting Montréal!

Les Foufs est une unstitution, à Montréal, & avec raison. Ce vaste bar, au fil des années & malgré l'ajout de quelques écrans (qui clash avec son genre) a su garder son allure punk, underground. Bar alternatif où on peut parfois admirer quelques oeuvres en exposition, au rez-de-chaussé, présentant des shows & acceillant des évévements à l'étage, bénéficie d'une terrasse arrière. On s'y sent bienvenu & en sécurité.

Le chef est jovial accueillant. Pleins de bons conseils. Attentionné. Passionné par son métier. Ça déteint sur toute son équipe. Ce sont des punks très charmants. Je vous le conseille. Une inspiration pour les coulisses mantes la jolie

Classic punk bar with frequent live music. The CBGB's of MTL. Si t'es punk à Montréal, t'as passé au moins une soirée au Fouf!
Dean
Old punk bar. They still serve Full Size Pitchers of beer! Great vibe, interesting people. I stuck out like a sore thumb but I was happy to have stumbled in here.
