Great spot for pinball & a beer in Montreal. Good selection of craft beers & a better choice of pins. All we're in excellent condition & played extremely well which makes all the difference. Definitely worth stopping in for an hour or two.

Any bar that starts the tipping at 18% is big a red warning flag. Raise the beer prices, double the already ridiculous price of 2$ a game of Pinball if you must. But don't hide you real prices behind an absurd tipping policy.
