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.

Trop de souvenirs flous pour ne pas aimer l'endroit. C'est tout le début de ma vie adulte qui y a passé & si je ne m'en souviens que trop peu, ça veut dire que c'était génial!

This was the venue for a band I saw play recently. The concert itself was awesome. I only hung out upstairs for the show, but it was a cool spot. I only ordered a soda, so no reference for drink prices or service really.

My friend & I came here last night to watch @NicotineDolls. Very different experience than clubbing in my 20s. Clean, open & friendly staff.
There was a fan blowing at us in the balcony, so it wasn't too hot. A perfect venue fo smaller bands. Very well put together.

1ere fois aux Foufounes bar mythique & je dois dire que je repars avec un avis plus que mitigé.
Nous avons commandé des bières & 1 pichet de sangria & la personne au bar à chargé 30$ (soit 3x pintes) pour,le pichet au lieu de 26$ car apparement le prix du pichet n'est pas enregistré dans la caisse (selon son explication). Pratique plus que douteuse ...
Lors d'une soirée, bar plein ce doit être très lucratif !

Excitée pour le concert de notre ami, ma conjointe & moi décidons d'aller l'encourager. Même pas entrer, le bouncer nous crie dessus & nous donne le pire regard de l'univers pour nous pointer l'entrer. Comme… are you ok? Déjà la, 0/10. Arrivée au bar, on demande un shooter. La bartender nous regarde encore une fois avec un regard de jugement & nous répond sec. Écoute, en voyant les réponses du propriétaire / gérant… pas étonnant que les employés soient aussi rude.

Never again.
PS; en discutant avec des gens, on s'est vite rendu compte qu'on avait la même expérience. Degeulasse.
