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.

Went here for a Wheatus concert last night.

There were lots of stairs tho, I had to carry my mobility device up & down. It was worth the pain as the concert was possibly the funnest live show I have ever been to.

Didn't eat here but I'm a metal guy & this place is the go to, so it seems, for punk & metalheads. Good music, people & of course drinks. Downstairs is a great venue spot for music shows.

They have the worst bartenders. There are two or three of them that always have attitude & it's like why work with people if you're going to be like that.

The bar & venue were great, great shows put on & a good price. Event bartender was super nice & friendly, but the short blonde haired bartender downstairs was very unfriendly & rude, a lot of customers there I talked to said the same thing about her. Asked what was on tap because half of them were in French & we were also on the side of the bar (the taps were in the front of the bar) & we couldn't read them. & she goes'whatever you can see is what we have' & we explained that we couldn't read them & she goes'Budweiser isn't French' & ignored what I said about the position that we were in. Rest of the night she gave us attitude & crappy service, we still did tip though.

What a cool & unique venue. Attended the Montreal Oi! Fest & it was a fabulous time. The downstairs is simple sprawling, thought the wait times for beers is a bit long. Maybe different if sitting & being waited on. But the upstairs was great they had 2 bars & a very large space the servers were bang on! My only complaint is $8 for a PBR can buy a 30 pack in the US for that much lol..! The room for the show was a decent size for what I was there to see & the sound was pretty decent too. All the staff were great as well. Can't say enough good about this place I will absolutely be back
