Manderes patrons pee in public? WTF? How did I not know this? I know many extremely scarily intelligent, well educated, people that go there on a regular basis. I am coming out with my camera to catch this!

Sounds like Mr. Son likes Folsom. He sure spends a lot of time around here. Who knows, maybe now that he stabbed someone he might get to be a resident!

First and foremost our family feels for the three victims who were attacked by David Son, we hope they have a safe and quick recovery.

The sad reality is that some people break the law regardless of where they are, and when they happen to choose to do it at our establishment our security is there to detain them and report them to the Folsom Police department. Many other establishments don't have security so there are many crimes that happen and are never caught, stopped or reported. In regards to this incident David son has a problem and he needs to get help. He was already on probation for having pulled a knife on someone at Costco gas station in 2010. Should we all stop getting gas at Costco? This reoccurrence is not because of our establishment, it's because this person was bound to have an incident because he has not received the help that he desperately needs.

Comparing the long track record of owning the Folsom Lake Bowl for 33 years we have seen a lot of trends over the years. Folsom is an amazing town to live in and go for entertainment. The people in Folsom are also amazing people that really love their town. We have observed that drinking and driving has heavily decreased over the last 10 years. That is largely due to the great jobs of the Folsom police and responsible establishments in Folsom. Folsom Lake Bowl and FLB Sports Bar & Casino has far less problems then many other serving establishments in our area. We also have a much higher amount of traffic that comes through our doors, averaging 5,000 patrons per week. This is due to always having security on staff that can openly communicate between each other and with management using high end ear pieces and microphones. We have invested in the most sophisticated ID system that is on the market that no other bar has in Folsom. We also have a state of the art video surveillance system inside and outside our establishment.

Please come in to our establishment and you will see for yourself how serious we are about operating a very well run business that is a safe and fun place to go for the whole family.

Best Regards,
Dan, Jeremy, Monica & Wally Dreher

Thanks, Dan! I love the Lake Bowl. It wouldn't be Folsom without you! Bowling with friends is always so fun and the place looks great and feels comfortable since your remodel. I have never felt anything but totally and completely safe there and I will continue to feel the same. This was just a wierd random thing. Keep up the good work!

Dan, don't think I'm raining on your business. No where did I say anything negative about the establishment. Heck, My kids love bowling there.

I do think that anywhere a business serves alcohol, there will be issues, on occasion
That doesn't mean that I don't think that that is acceptable. Sometimes it is the establishments fault. Sometimes it is the patrons. Sometimes it is a freak car flying through a parking lot. (joking).


There are statistics and public perception on bars, casinos, bowling alleys--as having more than their fair share in alcohol related issues, compared to family restaurants that sell alcohol.

As for this guy, that neck stabbed one of your patrons....I hope the new prison rules do not apply to him.I hope he goes to prison for a long, long, long time. <if he is actuallly guilty ofcoarse>

Dan and Fam, one thing I love about your place is that your staff really treats everyone well. You know I also dig the fact that you have a ton of High Def big screens for sports. My wife appreciates the lively atmosphere and low prices.

ok Manderes serves only beer. live experience says beer makes you pee more. the up side of drinking is it makes average looking women beautiful, if only for a few hours

I hate Manderes - that place is awful. But they serve beer and it's within walking distance from my house so...

Folsom Residents beware! Mr. Son has bailed out of the Sacramento County jail.

Folsom Residents beware! Mr. Son has bailed out of the Sacramento County jail.

Really?They let him have bail after assaulting someone with a lethal weapon and being charged with attempted murder?


Wow.

I wonder how the victims feel about that.



kind of ironic he went to jail because he was bumming cigarettes
Yet he can afford to bail out of jail
