Review Summary

North Star Machines À Piastres earns praise for a welcoming retro arcade vibe, a cozy bar scene, and a broad selection of craft beers and cocktails paired with a well maintained lineup of pinball and arcade machines. Reviews note machines ranging from vintage to modern, unlimited play on weekends, and regular freeplay events such as Sundays and Mondays, plus a monthly tournament that welcomes beginners. The staff and owners are repeatedly described as friendly and knowledgeable, with a visible care for keeping the machines in top condition and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like a close knit community. The venue works well for either groups or solo visitors who want to relax, socialize, and rack up high scores while enjoying drinks, with many complimenting the quality of drinks, the cleanliness of the machines, and the fun of the photo booth. Occasional comments mention that play can be pricey on some machines and one quirky misadvertised bathroom detail, but these are among a few notes in otherwise overwhelmingly positive experiences.

One of my all-time favourite spots in Montreal. The cozy vibe makes it easy to just relax & enjoy the games; the last time I was there the cute girl behind the bar made me a delicious cocktail. Go with friends & have some beers, or go by yourself, play a few rounds of pinball on an immaculately maintained machine, & then slip away into the night feeling like you know one of the city's coolest secrets.

This place is DOPE! The machines are insane & in great condition-- Metallica, Dolly Parton, Stranger Things, Godzilla. They have a pong table & boomerang air hockey table, too. One of the owners, Bruno, was working behind the bar when I was there. He's an excellent bartender, so don't think you only need to order well drinks & beer (which is what I'm accustomed to at an arcade bar).

Knowledgeable & friendly staff with a great selection of classic beers, local products, & in-house cocktails! Plus a great lineup of well-maintained vintage & modern pinball machines. Awesome spot for pinball fans & non-pinball fans alike! Worth a detour :)
