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.

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.

Le Piranha Bar en plein centre-ville de Montréal? Oublie les clubs snobs & les bars à cocktails chiants. C'est le spot où tu te sens direct chez toi si t'es plus du genre à avoir les cheveux dans le vent & le cuir sur les épaules. C'est l'un des rares bastions heavy metal, punk & goth en ville, un vrai refuge où la vibe est toujours électrique. Le service est tellement cool & sans prise de tête que tu te sens comme si tu buvais une bière avec tes meilleurs potes. La crowd est ultra chill, & c'est le moment de sortir tes tenues les plus badass sans que personne te juge.
Pis attends, y'a pas que ça! Le Piranha c'est aussi une méga terrasse où tu peux prendre l'air & mater les étoiles (ou les autres punks stylés) sans te faire marcher dessus. Que ce soit pour les shows de malades le week-end qui te font headbanger comme un fou, ou juste pour traîner en semaine, y'a toujours du monde jusqu'à la fermeture. C'est le genre d'endroit où l'énergie est palpable, où tu peux être toi-même à 100%. Si t'as envie de bonne musique, de bonnes vibrations & de te sentir libre, le Piranha Bar, c'est ta place. Prépare-toi à une soirée qui déchire

It has changed a lot. Before the played good metal music. Now they just play bad punk music so you have to pay to select good metal music.

I was here for a metal/punk music festival.
Great atmosphere. The venue is relatively small but the energy is great. Can't wait to go see another show here.
