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

Super spot ! Oubliez le champagne, c'est pas la place ! Ici on boit de la bière & du fort, on écoute de la musique assez underground depuis des décennies & l'ambiance y est festive ! Service très agréable, tarifs corrects.
