Review Summary

North Star Machines À Piastres stands out with a fun retro vibe, a wide range of well maintained pinball machines and arcade games, and a solid craft beer selection alongside friendly staff. Reviews highlight the welcoming atmosphere, the mix of vintage and modern machines, and regular events such as freeplay on Sundays and Mondays and a beginners friendly tournament on the first Wednesday. The bartenders are praised for knowledge and craft cocktails, and the owners are described as warm and attentive, helping to build a close knit community. On the downside, per game prices are noted as high, the option to win games by scoring highly is missed by some, and the sound level from the machines can be a bit low. Food options are considered limited by a few, while the photo booth is seen as a mixed feature. Overall the venue is viewed as a standout in Montreal for pinball enthusiasts and a relaxed spot to hang out with friends, with pristine machines and a welcoming vibe.

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.
