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.

Really loved this spot nothing like this in NYC go on a weekend for unlimited play. Just avoid the Photo Booth as it get photos very quickly & is old

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.

+18 plus cause it's in a bar after five o'clock. Ummm. Twenty bucks at least & I saw a sign saying $10 all you can play on Sunday.

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 .
