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 !!! 🩷

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.
