Les avis présentent Foufounes Électriques comme une salle légendaire et énergique de Montréal, authentique et inclusive, qui accueille un large éventail de genres allant du punk et du métal au goth et au drum and bass, avec plusieurs niveaux et une terrasse, des boissons abordables et une ambiance qui anime le public; l'endroit est salué pour son esprit underground, son histoire et sa capacité à rassembler des personnes de tous horizons, bien que certains visiteurs signalent un son fort, parfois du monde et un service ou une sécurité parfois inégaux.
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
Back in the 80's, affectionately called in french'Les Foufs', the venue was to Montreal what CBGB was to Manhattan in the late 70's. The music was loud, beer was cheap & mohawks were dangerously spiky, to say the least. To the sound of Skinny Puppy, Bauhaus & Siouxsie & the Banshees, with my good friend Mark & way too many beers, this is where I celebrated my first car, a ruined-down AMC Renault Alliance that barely made it through the winter. Nowadays, I go back occasionally so to remember the spirit, reminisce with my old punker friends still working on their art projects since the 80's, check out if my graffiti still entertain the toilets & hope the impossible mini-putt course that was under the stairs would one day rise from the graveyard. The venue, which was back then barely the size of a trunk, is now set over several floors, & might be a tad touristy (but a legend is a legend, so I'll close my eyes on this last fact). With plenty of indoor & outdoor seating area, a mezzanine & 2 showrooms, you can still chill over affordable beer, & later, when the beer-buzz hits the right spot, pogo-slam your way across the dance floor & yell at everybody that you were one of the originals !... Or just show-off & pretend…
Is punk dead ? No, it just got more comfortable & richer, ask Lydon !
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!

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 .
Old punk bar. They still serve Full Size Pitchers of beer! Great vibe, interesting people. I stuck out like a sore thumb but I was happy to have stumbled in here.
