Great bar in Downtown San Jose. They have a large selection of pinball and arcade machines. They also are very festive for Christmas and the decorations and lights are very fun. They have a selection of drinks that are pretty good and a full kitchen that was pumping out some good looking options. On a Saturday night it was very busy and was full of great vibes and is a must visit bar/arcade in the Bay!

Miniboss is one of our favorite date night spots in SJ! We first came in on a Saturday night around 9:30. It was decently full, but we didn’t have a problem ordering drinks or playing games. Staff are friendly, and we were served quickly.
The cocktails and the games are a highlight for sure. We usually find ourselves back at Miniboss after a weekend dinner in San Pedro area. Certain nights – like Halloween weekend – can get very packed. Recommend parking in any of the structures around San Pedro Square area and walking over.
Compared to some SF barcades I’ve been to, Miniboss is well organized, clean, and fun. We always have a blast playing games like Street Fighter, TMNT, and pinball. Sometimes you have to wait to play, but people are generally friendly and will let you take your turn shortly after them.
All in all, one of our go-to spots!

A friend and I went to this place a couple nights ago, and was both of our first times going to a bar. There was a good selection of Halloween-style cocktails, and my favorite was the Ziggy Starburst! The place filled up quickly on a Friday night. We didn’t actually get to play any of the arcade games, but there was a very wide selection.

It’s counter service but the food is actually pretty good. The game selection is so so, but memories. Drink selection and bar service is pretty good. Only draw back is tables stay dirty a bit. I’ve been here a few times and always a fun retro experience.

We have been visiting Miniboss since they first opened and have continued to visit.
We have always had a great time, and the staff have always been very welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable on cocktails. We have always felt safe on our visits over the years. The food menu has changed over the years, but the crack wings are always a favorite. Miniboss also has a solid selection of beers as well.
The selection of games and decor are very nostalgic and well done. All the games are usually in service, and it is not often to see a game out of order. The seasonal events for Christmas and Halloween have always been great, and the decorations and seasonal drink menu keeps things fresh.
The introduction of family days on Sundays has been a lot of fun as well, as we have been able to visit with friends with kids.
The ParkSJ lot nearby has treated us well, and is a very short walk from Miniboss. If you are in need of cash for the arcade games, Cash Only’s ATM fee had historically been lower than ATMs in the area.

Came here for a pinball tournament. It’s a very nice bar and has several separate areas where there also video games along the walls. The pinball machines are in the back area where the food pickup area is. I ordered a Maitai from the front bar and it was really nice. The pins are very nice too, and they are well maintained. Priced very well @.75/gm 3 for 2.00. I didn’t order food, so I cannot comment, but it looked good.

Mini Boss is the perfect bar for relaxing and escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. Friendly staff and great slot machines will keep you entertained. I recommend visiting this place with friends or your significant other. It gets very crowded on Saturdays and Sundays, so there might not be enough seats; book in advance.

The whole atmosphere of here is great, we went early on a Thursday to check it out. It wasn’t too busy when we got there but it quickly started filling up. The bartenders were great everyone was working fast but still very friendly. Drinks were good, I liked the uncommon blends they use to make unique cocktails.

Fun location, with many arcade cabinets & a very nice collection of pinball tables. Great atmosphere & staff… ( it also has a bar area, it’s a very relaxed and fun environment that is enjoyable without alcohol affecting the experience for non-drinkers).
