Review Summary

Piranha Bar is widely regarded as a legendary downtown dive bar that captures a unique, underground spirit. Patrons consistently praise the venue for its vibrant atmosphere, which serves as a sanctuary for fans of metal, punk, and eclectic live music. While some note that the space is unpolished and can become quite warm during busy events, the dedicated staff, affordable drink prices, and sense of community among the regulars make it a standout destination. Whether visiting for a concert in the basement, a game of pool, or simply a casual beer, visitors frequently highlight the welcoming service and authentic character that define this iconic Montreal establishment.

Sat down. Bartenders was talking g to regulars. After 6 minutes of siting at the bar & no one even said hello or acknowledge I was there I took off. I will try to give this place another chance.

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.

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