Located in the middle of the centre of the heart of downtown, downstairs we have punching bag strength tester, pool table and darts, classic arcade game, VLTs, and upstairs a 300 capacity live music venue. We love Montreal and provide relaxed, quality experience... and at night we are a spaceship come meet aliens
Piranha Bar comes across as a lively downtown staple with a strong metal and punk vibe, hosting regular live shows in both the basement and upstairs while drawing a mix of locals and visitors who say the energy is welcoming and unpretentious. The staff and bartenders receive frequent praise for friendliness and good service, beer is affordable, and the overall vibe is casual and social, with slot machines adding extra character. Some reviews note occasional delays or uneven service on busy nights and remind that there is no food served, though you can bring your own. Taken together, Piranha Bar is seen as a solid dive bar for fans of rock and metal who want a place to drink, watch bands, and soak up a distinctive, energetic atmosphere.
We came late on a Saturday night for essentially last call, was greeted by a friendly bartender & played some pool. great location overlooking an iconic street. Un grand merci de Toronto!
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.
We stopped into Piranha Bar for a couple of beers. The service was good & the staff were friendly.
The beer selection isn't huge, but it's enough for a casual visit. Prices were reasonable, & the overall vibe makes it a decent spot for a social hangout.
We didn't stay long, but it's a solid place to pop into for a drink.
I didnt eat there, just drinks. Appreciate the alternative vibr although the music varied to very (too much) different styles during the time there lol the three different ambients there are an excellent idea.
C'est le meilleur bar en ville. La première fois que je suis allée à un bar à Montréal c'était ici & depuis, c'est la seule place que je vais. Les barmaids sont tellement fine & le boss encore plus !!! 🩷
I love this place the vibs are great & everyone is so nice. I once shit myself cause the bathroom was full & someone from the bar helped me love this place
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.

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
