Le Piranha Bar est un dive bar du centre-ville de Montréal sur la rue Saint Catherine, connu pour son ambiance metal, punk et goth et pour une clientèle locale et touristique. Il accueille des concerts, du karaoké le mercredi et d'autres spectacles, et le son est correct pour la taille du lieu avec une terrasse agréable en été. Les boissons sont à bon prix et il est possible d apporter sa nourriture puisqu aucune cuisine n est disponible dorénavant. Le personnel est souvent décrit comme sympathique et accueillant, et l ambiance conviviale attire une clientèle fidèle et diversifiée. Le lieu propose aussi des machines à sous et des tables de billard; la salle du bas pour les spectacles est parfois mal configurée et trop chaude, tandis que le bar du haut est plus agréable. La sécurité fait parfois partie des remarques, notamment en ce qui concerne le harcèlement et venir en groupe ou renforcer la présence des agents est suggéré. C est l un des rares endroits à Montréal pour ceux qui aiment le metal, le punk et le goth, avec une énergie palpable, une grande terrasse et des shows qui attirent habitants et visiteurs.

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.
Came here for a Mayday hip hop concert. FYI there is 3 levels at this establishment. The basement level were I mistakenly went first was jammed packed & was rocking pretty awesome was not my final destination. Main level is the bar/pub & upstairs was where I was supposed to be. I did visit the main floor bar & the staff was very nice, wasn't too busy. This review is mainly for the upstairs venue. Poor signage to say the least if you walk up off the street at least. The upstairs was small, sound was good right at the stage but anything further back was way way too loud. The performers had issues with the venues wireless mics so one had to stay mostly stationary with the wired mic. Green room was tiny but added to the charm. Stage was pretty small & there is a large concrete beam almost forehead level on stage with lights that went directly into the performers eyes. I had a great time. Drinks were reasonable. Got to seey favorite band so no real complaints from me. Would love to see them in the downstairs spot in the future.
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
I sometimes go to this venue to see local music acts, my friends & their bands often play here. Never ate the food here (didn't even know they had food here), but the drinks aren't too expensive. Will definitely come back here for more shows.
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!
