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.

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!

Le bar est plutôt cool, l'ambiance aussi!

3 eme visite, avec à chaque fois l'idée de me dire « oh t'es peut être tombée sur un mauvais jour, allez réessaie » mais c'est à chaque fois sans appel : le service est déplorable 😭😅 attente malgré plusieurs serveurs derrière le bar & peu de personne au comptoir, 0 sourire, pas de bonjour, ni merci etc

En lisant les commentaires je vois que je ne suis pas la seule à penser ça! J'ose espérer que c'est un peu une étiquette que vous souhaitez vous donner?! car la c'est vraiment dommage 🥲

I've been looking for a place with rock concerts & local bands for a while now. This is definitely the place. The audience seemed to be over 30, but I went to a Pearl Jam cover show, so don't take that unique experience as a basis for the audience that frequents the place. But the atmosphere is really cool. On the second floor where the show is taking place, there are some free arcade games, as well as a pool table & a table football. The sound is really good, & the quality of the bands that played was incredible!!!! The only thing that wasn't perfect for me was the delay in starting the shows. This, in particular, frustrated me a little, but it didn't detract from the quality of the connection at all. However, for the next show, I'll be prepared for some delay.

I've spent so many evenings in this institution… unfortunately I was too young to see Nirvana live when they came but spent plenty of time here with friends , drinking beers, playing babyfoot & dancing .
