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.

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.

This is a solid dive/hospitality worker bar. I love it here.
One of the things I adore about this place is that it's for locals & tourists. I've met people from all around the world here.

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 :)
