Foufounes Électriques

Downtown · Punk / metal venue · $$

If your night runs to punk, metal, and moshing rather than house and techno, 'Foufs' is the institution. Decades of hardcore, metal, and punk in a graffiti-smothered downtown room, with cheap beer and live music. The big metal-spider sculpture on the facade marks the door. It's grimy in exactly the right way — the countercultural alternative to the cocktail-and-techno circuit.

The decades-old graffiti-covered punk-and-metal institution downtown — cheap beer, loud live music, and a floor where dancing means moshing.
