Located in the middle of the centre of the heart of downtown, downstairs we have punching bag strength tester, pool table and darts, classic arcade game, VLTs, and upstairs a 300 capacity live music venue. We love Montreal and provide relaxed, quality experience... and at night we are a spaceship come meet aliens
Piranha Bar comes across in reviews as a rugged dive with a heavy metal and punk vibe that draws locals and visitors alike, a place where the energy is electric, drinks are affordable, and the staff are friendly. The atmosphere feels like a tight knit crowd among regulars, with live music and shows ranging from rock and metal to Wednesday karaoke, making it a go to spot for socializing, atmosphere, and people watching. The venue spans two levels, delivering a lively upstairs bar and a downstairs concert space that many praise for sound quality given the venue size, even as some note heat and less ideal acoustics in the basement. Safety concerns are raised by a few, particularly for women, suggesting improvements in crowd management and security. Amenities like slot machines and pool tables add to the casual vibe, plus a terrace in the summer and a solid beer selection keep things appealing, though some reviews mention no on site food service and the rule of bringing your own food in. Overall it remains cherished by metal and punk crowds for its authenticity, energy, and welcoming atmosphere despite occasional ups and downs.

It's a nice place for concerts/events, & the sound is pretty good for a venue of that size. However, if you're a young woman please go as a group... I used to wait at the bar for my partner to finish their shift (they worked down the street) & would get harassed by men almost constantly... I hope they up their security/bouncers eventually as I do miss the atmosphere of the place...
