Display Allpinball(51) bar(23) game(15) drink(11) bière(9) booth(9) cocktail(9) selection(8) arcade(8) play(7) bartender(7) beer(6)Great staff & great pinball machines but the machines are too expensive with a 2 dollar per game is kind of crazy but they do have specials on certain days They also seem to have cancelled the options to win games with a good score wich sucks The sound of the machines is also way too low. It cuts the fun out i find
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!
Très bon service, toute l'équipe est très accueillante. Le concept avec les machines de Pinball est excellent & permet de jaser & s'occuper en même temps !
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.
J'ai adoré, les machines sont comme neuves, très bien entretenu, 13 pinball au total lors de ma présence, de 1$ à 2$ la partie, un bon mélange de pinball !!

Ma femme & moi, on aime bien le pinball, même si c'est plus trop à la mode comme avant. J'ai trouvé pas mal de places avec des machines, que ce soit en Colombie-Britannique, en Ontario ou même à l'étranger, & celle-là, c'est clairement la mieux entretenue que j'ai vue. Les machines sont propres, bien entretenues, & même la White Water de 1993 était en super état. Le proprio fait pas juste ça pour le style, on voit qu'il tient vraiment à ses machines. Si vous aimez le pinball ou vous voulez juste passer un bon moment, c'est une super place. Les drinks sont pas chers & l'ambiance est relax.
My wife & I enjoy pinball, but we all know it's not as common as it used to be. I've found lots of pinball arcades, or places with a machine or two, in the areas I've lived, such as BC, Ontario, & overseas. This is by far the best-maintained place I've visited. The machines are all clean & kept in great condition. Even the White Water pinball machine from 1993 was in immaculate shape. The owner of this bar isn't just running a gimmick, they actually care about their equipment. If you're into pinball or just want to have some fun, this is a great spot. Drinks were reasonably priced, & the atmosphere was chill too.
Très cool mini bar avec des machines de pinball. Mais j'ai trouvé les pinball un peu cher à 2$ de la partie.
Great drinks, awesome bartenders, & the best spot for pinball in MTL. Can't go wrong!
On y est allé lors d'un après-midi relax, pour jouer au pinball. Au final, on s'est retrouvé en plein milieu d'un tournoi de pinball... Beaucoup de pros & de mordus présents! C'était chouette! Ambiance rétro réussi! & la variété des machines & leur jolis visuels font que ça vaut le détour. Côté bouffe, je n'ai pas essayé mais ça semble limité. Côté boisson, beaucoup de choix, dont une belle sélection de bières de microbrasserie. Je recommande!
Had a amazing time! We came late at night on a whim & fell in love with the place. The whole place is super fun with amazing machines. Games are 1 token & a token is a dollar. You can exchange them at a machine but only gives you an amount option for cash. Otherwise its $10. Not bad honestly if you are good at pinball. Staff was also amazing. They enjoyed having some younger patrons at the bar & were super nice & friendly guys. Me & the bartender had a really long talk about them spinning vinyl on their speakers. (Seriously that collection was incredible.) Other patrons were also super nice people. We def will be coming back in the future!
Fun place to try multiple pinball machines from different eras. Make sure to try the kissing machine!
Belle place pour jouer aux machines pinball classiques. Boissons abordables & belle ambiance.
It's the ultimate destination for pinball & drinks. Bruno, the bartender, is welcoming & great company. They offer a superb selection of machines & reasonably priced drinks. I'd definitely return whenever I'm in town. 10/10 recommend!
Great pinball bar in Montreal with an excellent lineup. All the games played well without issue.
Un must pour tout fan de pinball, belle sélection de machines & toutes très bien entretenues.
Super endroit, relaxe, bonne bières. Toutes sortes de pinball, certaines plus rétro, certaines plus récentes. Un plaisir.
A really cool pinball arcade! Tokens are 1 per 1$ but if you spend $20 at once, you get 25. Most games are 1-2 tokens, & they have a pretty solid selection, as well as a well stocked bar. It's a great atmosphere altogether!
