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
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.
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

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.

Went here for a show, so I was mostly upstairs but they have A REAL PIRANHA it's wonderful though I think the tank should be cleaned SO CUTE worth visiting & the drinks were well priced. They also have slot machines.
You're like an alien
Ur white boots on
The milky pale skin
I slurp like the goldfish behind clear plastic
Fearful & distraught for the lurking presence
& then the piranha
Comes around the corner
& suddenly I've seen
The pale white boots are pale no more
I've seen red fear glistening a sparkle in the eye
Of the 3 seconds mind of the goldfish
Behind
Separated
Alone
In my own tank.
Clairement, les toilettes au sous-sol on besoin d'être réparées, autant côté homme que femme! Je ne sais pas pour celles du rdc. Salle de spectacle agréable. Le bar d'en-bas tien le strict minimum en boisson mais il est possible de faire des achats au bar du rdc & descendre avec! J'y retournerais voir un show!
