Pretty chill bar for grabbing a couple of beers. Was served pretty quickly by the bartender on duty. Chatted here with a friend & had a couple of pints & was never bothered by staff.

We stopped into Piranha Bar for a couple of beers. The service was good & the staff were friendly.
The beer selection isn't huge, but it's enough for a casual visit. Prices were reasonable, & the overall vibe makes it a decent spot for a social hangout.
We didn't stay long, but it's a solid place to pop into for a drink.

I didnt eat there, just drinks. Appreciate the alternative vibr although the music varied to very (too much) different styles during the time there lol the three different ambients there are an excellent idea.

C'est le meilleur bar en ville. La première fois que je suis allée à un bar à Montréal c'était ici & depuis, c'est la seule place que je vais. Les barmaids sont tellement fine & le boss encore plus !!! 🩷

genuinely the worst bar in montreal. avoid. the bouncers are the worst, they police the bathrooms & forcibly removed a transgender woman out of a washroom stall because she didn't look'woman' enough. ive also seen them confiscate belongings during bag checks. not to mention their complicity in hosting problematic right wing bands that other venues won't take. avoid avoid avoid if youre a real punk.

A good dive bar if you don't care if your barmaid doesn't know how to smile & feels entitled or how to make a drink go that matter.

The barmaid Alex is kinda annoying but really adorable at the same time, it's a little confusing.
She does her job really well & definitely knows how to keep the vibe going, definitely will come back

A dive bar in the best sense of the the term. Socialable staff & tasty beverages.

& there's metal. Can't forget the metal.

Post-covid, nothing has changed. Bar is still filled with carnivores.

2025/ Still awesome. Still metal.

2026/ 5/5 - would sell my soul c/o Pirahna Bar again.

Hail Satin.

Awesome bar. Good vibes. If you're spooky, you owe it to yourself to visit. 10's across the board.

They don't even care about customers. Bartenders are too entitled to serve. You don't deserve any tips.
