News broke in the summer of 2017 that the old Toons Night Club location in downtown San Jose would soon be home to a retro-inspired bar & arcade. It's now looking like it's finally ready open at the corner of 2nd & Santa Clara St. this week. 

The spot is called 'MiniBoss' and there will be craft beer, cocktails & a food-service thanks to Supergood Kitchen

The 12,000 square foot space on the corner has been empty since Toons & Voodoo Lounge closed back in 2011. 

Sneak previews of MiniBoss were held this week & it officially opens at 5 PM on Thursday with 32 arcade machines, eight pinball machines, a full bar & more.

Here's a closer look:
