Great atmosphere
Great service
It was slow since I was there on a Sunday afternoon around 6. Pleasant for a drink alone and play a game or five :)
Next time I’ll try the food
The Zinny was a great and refreshing drink 🫶🏽
My favorite bar in downtown San Jose for three reasons: arcade machines, delicious cocktails, and decent pizza. Always a good time with friends. The only downsides are that it can get pretty busy and the cocktails are expensive (about $15 per drink before tax and tip).
Honestly, I forgot about this place. Went here after Christmas to have cousins night.
Today, I am here for Pokemon day with my cousins and sis.
It had been 30 years. I was 12 when I first played it on my gameboy. There is pokemon related drink menu, so I got Vs Red drink. :) The menu is very cute and awesome. I actually tried almost 35% to 40% of the drink menu ($$$ x.x). No complaints so far.
My cousin ordered pizza. Chicken garlic. Hm, if I think back how it...read full review

Miniboss in downtown San Jose is a haven for gamers, offering a range of classic arcade games and a welcoming atmosphere. The drinks are fantastic, with retro options like the Smoking Section and Tea-1000, while the food, such as Cowabunga pizza and Pulled Pork Sliders, is very tasty. Visitors can enjoy iconic titles like Street Fighter, Donkey Kong, Terminator, and Ms. Pac-Man, and the place is perfect for losing yourself in hours of fun. The staff are all awesome, and the vibe is great, though some games need fixing. Miniboss is a recommended spot for a fun night out, with a great holiday-inspired atmosphere and the opportunity to check out the decorations during different holidays. The location features 5-6 of the top pinball machines of all time, such as Medieval Madness, Jurassic Park, and Star Wars, as well as Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. The pinball machines are well-maintained, and the prices are very reasonable. The restaurant also offers a great variety of drinks and interesting food experiments, with the staff ensuring that everything is in good order.
