Bière dégueu, sans aucune bulle. Même si le Nirvana était bien avant, c'est l'un des pires bars où l'on m'ait servi une bière.

J'en ai commandé une deuxième juste pour être sûr, & c'était encore pire. Franchement, une catastrophe.

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.
