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.

It's Piranha bar, man. The new haven for rockers & metalheads since Fouf's sold out. You've got all the usual potables, several floors, 2 reserved usually for events like local shows, & all in all, it's a fine place to sleaze out with your rocker buddies.

I went to Piranha Bar last saturday night (29/06/2024) & had a really fun time with my friend. I was served by Cole who had a perfect service & friendly attitude towards me & my friend. I really liked the renovation of the place & the new setup in place; shows are also always of good quality in the scene downstairs. Generally a 5/5 experience, greatly recommend the place! 😼🤟

The Piranha Bar is probably one of my favorite places to go in Montreal. I'm still not 100% sure what their schedule is for metal/alternative karaoke, but it's like the most incredible thing ever. Their drinks are poured well & their bartenders are incredibly efficient, knowledgeable, & tolerant. Piranha tanks, decorative bathrooms, slot machines, heavy handed drinks, & loud music- what more could you ask for? 10/10

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....

One of the best venues to see Metal bands passing through town, especially now that the stage is located in the basement. This makes it much cooler in the summer months. Regardless, good sound & intimate setting with clear sightlines. Always good beer available at competitive prices. Be sure to see all your favorite, obscure, Metal bands here.

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.
