Foufounes Electriques: It translates to "Electric Butt cheeks"
  • Tip Rating:
  • Fouf's is a great crazy bar with a history of crazyness dating back 20 years. It's the canadian CBJB's. Foufounes was known back in the day as the place to go to for the pulse of live underground music in Montreal. That has kinda changed due to the times being what they are. You still get great music and a pitcher full of underground culture, but that's been somewhat diluted by the need to pay the bills and cater to younger crowds who buy a lot of beer. The bar itself is located on St-Catherines, 2 blocks est of St-Laurent, on the north side. You really can't miss it. Just look for a really weird looking entrance to a place with a lot of people hanging out in front. It's almost next door to the Metropolis so keep your eyes open and you can't miss it. Once you get in (there are covers some of the times now unfortunately), you have the choice of the mellow downstairs, or the more insane upper floors. If you go upstairs there is still a mellower room, a crazy room, and then the dance floor area that I've always called the Pool for some reason. The Pool has the typical floor space for a dance floor, a bar and sitting area near the back. If you go further upstairs, there is another floor that look down into the dancefloor. It's really cool on a packed night since the dancfloor/mosh pit is kinda like a pool....hey, there we go, that's why I called it that...ok, cool. VT saved my life! Drinks are cheap as well, so get the shine on. Notable acts that have played here in the past include pre-popular Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Skinny Puppy, Henry Rollins band, etc. I brought a bunch of friends to Foufs once who are straight laced Torontonian's and they actually looked scared. Some of the people at Fouf's think it's halloween year long. I'm so used to it, it doesn't phase me, but if you aren't into odd looking people and stuff, then just drop some acid or something. Oh, and drugs are not allowed on site...and if you do, then look out for the bouncers with gigantism.

    Take a lead pipe and bend it around your waist. Put on boots that go up to your armpits. Put vomit into your hair. There you go. You are ready for a night at Fouf's. Or just wear whatever you have on right now.

    Foufounes Electriques: Great fun, great price!
  • Tip Rating:
  • This night club is so crazy, a lot of people are really weird and I like that. Great deal, you can pay 8$ for going upstair and all the beer and shooter are a loonie. Music style is metal, trash, techno, alternatif, sometimes, they put '' popular'' stuff and quebec or french songs.

    Every styles is accept.

    Foufounes Electriques: Les Foufounnes Électriques...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Les Foufounnes Électriques (loosely translated, means "the electric bum" (bum as in butt, not hobo)) If you're looking for a very alternative scene, then this is for you! Very liberal and comfortable, everyone is welcomed (ah! except the underaged!), yet there is still a particular taste to the crowd. Everything's on the turntable, from heavy metal to techno-ish stuff.

    How many piercings do you have?

    Foufounes Electriques: electric weirdness
    It is rumoured that when Bowie comes to town, this is his favorite spot. Used to be trashy and dangerous, now it’s become stylized and tame. This place is a multi-level bar with a lot going on, and many interesting characters to look at. The music varies from night to night, so you don't really know what to expect from the Fouf.
