a nice chill place. should have a security guard on the weekends tho, other then that im making this my new spot on the weekends. went on day in the afternoon and the owner of the bar and i had a convo about being pork n cheese lol, he gave me a free 133 club tshirt! not that im gonna sport it but i thought that was very nice. the rusty hook is nice but alot of snobby females and the bowling alley omg too expensive, the pub no parking. i also like the half pitchers for 5 bucks at the 133, pretty nice.
Review Source:Last week I had a great time witha couple of my boys at 133. A few cold pitchers and a couple games of pool. The jukebox has a variety of music so I got to pick classic rock, 80's and newer rock. A small place but we weren't looking for bootie shaking, not that night. Lol!! Just a few cold beers with friends. Since those guys live down the street I'm sure I will be visiting again.
Review Source:My gf and I went here after my 10-year high school reunion to meet up with some friends. As surreal as it was to be back in Manteca, it was even weirder going to a bar in my hometown.
My friend Ken is a bartender and he's pretty good, but the other girl working was not so much. We tried to explain to her how to make a kamikaze, but that wasn't happening. Thank goodness they had Blue Moon on tap.
I thought it was the weirdest thing that they had shuffleboard tables in the back, but my local Manteca friends acted like this was normal. At least there was a computerized jukebox, so my friends were able to steer the music away from the rock and country that was playing.
Above the jukebox, strangest of all, were the monitors for the many cameras (including the outside cameras). You'd expect the monitors to be hiding, rather than providing entertainment for the patrons. You can watch the people smoking outside the bar and pretend to guess what they're talking about.
It is also the most well-lit bar I've ever been too. But at midnight, it wasn't the best thing.
I'd probably only go back to meet up with friends while my bartender friend was working. Otherwise, I'd try another bar next time.
I totally agree with Nicole R's review. The 133 is a nice, clean bar. It's big and open and they have pool tables, shuffle boards, and a nice juke box.
If you go during the day (morning until early evening) it's like "Cheers"... lots of regulars and really nice people. =o) At night it's pretty fun there, too!
A great place to go have some drinks and hang out. =o)!
Mediocre, inconsistent, bar.
Only offer bud/bud light on tap, and the bartenders tend to close the bar down whenever they please based on "bar time." which can be anywhere between 1:10am and 1:40 am. Kind of a hassle, but the big problem is they won't hesitate to sell you a pitcher 1 minute before this time, then rush you to finish up.
The only reason we go here is for the two shuffleboard tables which they keep in great condition, and always have extra table salt available. We are big fans of shuffleboard, and since orleys closed down in stockton, this is really the only decent place to go play (there is flynn's, but don't even get me started on that place, meh).
The big problem is we never know what to expect when we go there on a friday night, one week it is all bikers, the next week it will be a mix, a week later it is gang bangers fighting out in the back parking lot (yes, this happened, and it was hilarious, since neither could fight, and were too drunk to stand), then a week later it will be cute college age girls. Quite strange.
