Super fun place and good vibes! Probably the best bar in Downtown San Jose!

“A great, lively spot to enjoy the Christmas season while playing some video games and pinball machines. However, the tab was a bit of a shock — $117 for three beers and three cocktails is pretty steep!

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!

Very fun and unique place. Great beers and a lot of video games and pinball machines. Enjoyed playing classics like donkey kong, ms pac man, and many others. Since we are older, perhaps we felt a little out of place since most of the customers were in their 20s, but really, who cares? We're still young at heart.

They have a wide range of American food (Burgers, garlic fries) and drinks (craft beers and cocktails). I love the arcade games free play Thrusdays. A lot of the top games I played as a kid and you can versus your friends or random people. I ordered the multi player because it takes more players to finish

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!

Fun bar with great arcade games to play! A few of the machines didn't work and ate some coins, so be careful!

I work at an arcade bar so I am always excited to find another one to support. Unfortunately I didn't even get a chance to go inside because I didn't have my Service dogs physical card. I have her certificate and ID in digital form in which you could look up her service number to see if it is real. Which you shouldn't even require to see but I still made an effort. Still wouldn't let me in so I ended up going down the street to Fox Tail Fermentation Project and had a great drink and wonderful service. Don't think I will ever come back to try Miniboss which is very unfortunate 😕
I have gone 3 times in 2 weeks. I love the vibes. Especially for Halloween!

You wouldn't guess by looking at it, but this place has some of the best cocktails in the entire Bay Area. The games are also great.

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.
