Review Summary

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.

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

The Piranha Bar is probably one of my favorite places to go in Montreal. I'm still not 100% sure what their schedule is for metal/alternative karaoke, but it's like the most incredible thing ever. Their drinks are poured well & their bartenders are incredibly efficient, knowledgeable, & tolerant. Piranha tanks, decorative bathrooms, slot machines, heavy handed drinks, & loud music- what more could you ask for? 10/10

calling this place a dive bar is almost an insult: great for a post workout beer with all the sport venues upstairs (jiu-jitsu, boxing, indoor football), its all booze, rock & roll, & bartenders in cute goth/metal outfits. you feel a bit back in time, & in the best way. if you are into the whole rock & roll scene, this place will feel like home coming back for a gig for sure, see you guys soon :)
