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
Reviews describe Piranha Bar as a downtown dive with an electric, eclectic vibe where cheap drinks, a welcoming crowd and a heavy metal, punk and goth sensibility draw locals and visitors alike. Staff are repeatedly praised for friendly, attentive service, the shows are well staged with solid sound for the venue size, and the place is noted for its lively atmosphere, a big terrace and even slot machines. Safety is a concern for some, with warnings to go in groups for young women and calls for better security. No kitchen currently serving food, but outside food is allowed, and the venue is known for its real piranha tank feature that adds to the unique vibe. Overall the place is seen as a standout metal-focused hub in the city, beloved by a mixed crowd and appreciated for its character, price point, and consistent live entertainment.
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.
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
très bon bar à ambiance, à la cooooool détendue. Maria est une excellente barmaid très professionnelle, mention spéciale pour elle ☺?

-People dont know what they are up too when they get here.
This place is gorgeous in its own way.
It has its essence, its own vibe.
Its a family, where you discover new kind souls everyday & bond with the atmosphere. I really do appreciate that bar. The staffs is amazing!
& tbh i can understand why some people would hate on that place. But the truth is Jesus is King⚡?🤍
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...
Je suis aller a la Messe des morts 2025, pour ce qui est de l'événement de la Messe comme chaque année Martin fait un travail exceptionnel tout a été sans faute.
Concernant le Piranha bar c'est plutôt différents comme a l'habitude pour tout les spectacles que j'ai assisté ici, que ce soit la salle du bas comme du haut c'est un crématoire on cuit litéralement.
La chaleur est insupportable & ce n'est pas normal quil fasse aussi chaud.
Côté service les barmaids était extrêmement gentille, polie ect. Le seule bémol est que le service est incohéren j'ai été au 3 jours du festival & j'ai commandée des cokes a l'étage du bar ainsi que dans les 2 salles & j'ai due recevoir 6 version différente, dans la salle du haut le coke en fontaine goute beaucoup l'eau au debut je me suis dit c'est peut être un erreur mais les 3 jours c'était comme ca, au niveau du bar le coke était correct mais parfois les vers n'était pas remplie a pleine capacité contrairement au autre étage, dans la salle du bas j'ai recu plusieurs versions différentes sois un simple coke fontaine dans un ver avec glace, un coke cannette mit dans un ver avec glace, un coke cannette sans ver & glace donc il a fallu que je le demande personellement & le meilleur d'entre touts qui devrait être le standard de tout les bars & restaurants est celui que j'ai recu dans la salle du bas un bon coke quil sois fontaine ou cannette dans un ver avec glace & la petite lime sur le rebord du ver ce que malheureusement je nai recu qu'une seule fois sur une dizaine de coke sur 3 jours.
