We’ve stopped in at Miniboss just for drinks a couple times, and it’s a winner in our books. Great drinks and great bartenders

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.

The place, music, and service was amazing 🤩. But the drinks were horrible. Mine tasted like vomit and my friend's was too sour to drink. I felt bad because our bartender was great.

They have security at the door, asking for ID. I'm near 40, asked for my ID as well. I've been told they ask ID due to alcohol served at this location. I've been turned away because I haven't had the chance to renew my state ID, yet. So, they think my age might've changed due to expired ID. I have no further comments. I will never visit again. They play loud music as well, you'll damage your hearing, avoid. Also, if you check other comments, you'll see tons and tons of comments mentioning security making up rules and causing problems, so, I confirm that this's an ongoing, unresolved issue which's another reason why you should AVOID visiting this place. I've been to a lot of age restricted venues, never been disrespected this bad.
Great variety of drinks lots of interesting experiments. Really tasty food, odd sounding pizza combinations that really worked. And staff walking around making sure everything was good busing tables cleaning things up. Plus a ton of great arcade games and pinball machines they actively working to make sure everything was up and running they fixed the KI machine while we were there.

I'm an old nerd. I get nostalgic vibes radiating through my inner 8 year old when I play Double Dragon and my inner 16 year old shooting Aliens on Area 51. The old nerd in me loves pinball. I wish they had a bigger selection of NA Beer.

Everything is self service placing order and picking food. Yet tip is forced, can't go below 20%
