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.

I was here for a metal/punk music festival.
Great atmosphere. The venue is relatively small but the energy is great. Can't wait to go see another show here.

The sound guy for concerts is the best I've ever seen in hundreds of bar shows! All three bands sounded incredible & we left without our ears ringing. Great bar service, friendly staff. It is however your typical Mtl alley out back, but we all expect that at these venues, it adds to the flavor!

Is this Montréals best dive bar
I dunno but if it is... glad I went.
Had some time to kill before catching a train & so I travelled down rue Sainte Catharine & found this gem.
Decor (sort of run down Canadiana), Casino (game slots on the other side of the space), Music (alternative, rock, metail), & a pool table - I dunno, it all just fit!
Cool drink specials during the day & the service was actually pretty good. Servers came to us for orders & all of it was enough to have tons of talking points.
Screens around to watch any game that is being played was nice.
Didn't realize concerts were played in here as well... maybe next time!

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