My partner & I are visiting Montreal for the week & decided to give this spot a try late night.
What a great spot! For a smaller bar, they had a great variety of arcade games & even an old school Photo Booth. Bruno was welcoming & gave us great recommendations of which craft beers to try. He even wrote down a few more places to check out because we are craft beer lovers & work in the industry. A fun spot to check out!

I've been going to this bar for the past year & I can't believe I haven't reviewed it yet. The pinball games rotate on a regular basis & if you go during Freeplay events (usually every Sunday & Monday) you get the *best* bang for your buck for vintage pinball gaming in montreal. If you're looking for a retro pinball arcade vibe, Northstar will not steer you wrong. They have a wide selection of games, ranging from vintage to modern eras, with stern pinball machines if that's of any interest for you pinheads :) The first Wednesday of every month is tournament day with beginners being more than welcome! They also have a nice photo booth. The owners are by far one of the friendliest, most accommodating people I have ever met. They truly have gone above & beyond to create a welcoming & accepting atmosphere with a close knit community that's a rare gem to find in Montreal nowadays. The bartenders are all very knowledgeable & will also create the most amazing cocktails & mixed drinks. I would name names but truthfully every single person that works here deserves an individual shoutout & I hope if you go here you find as much enjoyment as I have. I love this bar. Support a local business & the local pinball scene of Montreal & hopefully Ill see you around on a Freeplay day!

Best place for pinball in Montreal, & the best photo booth. I have only been going for a year, but they move in & out machines, sad to see Dialed In leave, but the new Big Lebowski & Godzilla, ooo & rick & Morty, & the skateboarding machines are great. & now there's a crane game. Also, never saw the Dolly Parton machine irl, they have that, amaaaazing

Lovely little gem of an arcade bar up some unassuming stairs. Nice drinks menu, many pinball machines, couple of videogames, a mechanical Pong, & a photo booth!

They've got Fleuri cidre on tap & every sort of pinball you could want. & a Photo Booth A great place to go out with friends, plus fun to encounter the Pin Ball People (who will want to chat with you about technique & history).

Great spot to spend an evening! After one visit .. I had to go back just days later. Affordable, fun, & welcoming atmosphere for all. Bathrooms are gender neutral with handwash stations outside of them which was fantastic. Owner was kind & friendly, bar staff was spot on. Pinball was prime ! One of the few places left with a photo booth also!

great little bar & pinball joint . some newer machines, some older more retro 20$ got us 25 tokens. some 2 player machines also . great spot to kill some time . The pong machine was my favorite unfortunately the photo booth was out of service so we had to take our own pictures . highly recommend a stop at North Star on a walk through the city .
