Me and my mate travelled to Montreal from Manchester and came across this place for a night out. Have to say I was pretty impressed, the atmosphere in there was really good, we got chatting to quite a few people and there's a club underneath with a dance floor. All the music was pretty good and you can play pool... More

This bar is located on Sainte Catherine which is the heart of nightlife in downtown Montreal. I would recommend it to a group of friends wanting to hang out in a stylish rock music bar. The prices are reasonable, rather average. Plus, there are TV screens with sports turned on. so you can watch your favorite teams play. More

If you are into any kind of rock or punk music try it. It is a good place after a concert to hang out and have a few drinks and relax after the show. Music is loud, drinks are cold, what else do you need... More

This place is just incredible. It's like a goth/alternative funhouse. On a visit to Montreal we wandered into the most incredible graffiti, stopped to take pictures and then discovered Foufs. The atmosphere draws you in...from the big spider at the entrance to the industrial decor. It's definitely a 'must see' place to be. Don't miss it when in Montreal! More

Every year a bunch of us take a guys trip from NYC to Montreal, and we ALL love this place. If you like, rock, metal, punk, goth, etc etc. This club is the real deal. I'd compare it to CBGB in NYC, except on a much grander scale. Not many tourists, mostly locals. I make it a point to visit... More

Everytime I'm in Montreal for a show or concert, I have to go to this bar before hand. It has the perfect atmosphere to sit, smoke, talk and drink with your friends before getting really roudy. Not to mention the free pool, foosball and soul caliber. More

What a kickass club! There are levels you can hang out on, different music on each level, and the crowd was weird, just how I like 'em. More

Foufs is a wild, punk club. It's the REAL THING. Uncompromising music and an uncompromising crowd. If you're hankering for a truly lasting Montreal experience, rock up to this joint, get wasted on the cheap beers, and get wasted by the punters. Foufounes isn't for everyone, but everyone should experience it. More
