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.

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

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

Not much of a vibe about the place during the day. Bit disappointing that a rock/metal bar was playing Brit pop music like Blur....

Access to this bar is treacherous! The concrete was all broken, uneven, roped off & super unsafe. Cool vibe inside though!
