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!

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).

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!

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!
