North Star Machines À Piastres

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!

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.

Knowledgeable & friendly staff with a great selection of classic beers, local products, & in-house cocktails! Plus a great lineup of well-maintained vintage & modern pinball machines. Awesome spot for pinball fans & non-pinball fans alike! Worth a detour :)
