Rookie's

Not happy with the experience.  It started out as a fun evening with my family members, bowling a couple games then went into rookies to play some pool.  The music was too loud!  Everything was ok until my husband informed me that he was being asked to leave because he was wearing a plain (yellow) t-shirt. He's 60 years old!  Apparently we missed the  8x11 sheet of paper taped to the right upper corner of the door (with tiny print) as we were walking in.  When my husband pointed out other people in the bar had plain t-shirts on he was accused of having an attitude.  Really!  You put people on the defensive because they don't understand your dress code then accuse them of having an attitude!  If you have to have such a strict dress code, you need to have people outside the entrance letting people know before they go in and spend money in your establishment.  Or is that it,   you get people to go in and spend money then ask them to leave.  If we had known that, we would have never gone in there in the first place!  We'll never go there again!

Unbelievably slow service! Lots of problems with our order....my husband got the wrong sandwich, my son's bbq bacon burger came w/o bacon and I never received my drink.  will not go back again.

Was there one night. Food was okay for a bowling alley type establishment. The waitress was very friendly & polite, as was the bartender when I ordered a coke. I don't drink alcohol so don't know about that at Rookie's, but the crowd looked as though they were having fun. Not a "high-class" crowd, but a fun bunch nevertheless. I had to laugh at the dancers because they really needed those dance lessons they give there.

The biggest problem I observed at Rookie's is the sound. The building needs something to cut down on the huge amount of echo & rumbling bass. Both the DJ & band had horrible sound. Not the songs or talent or even volume, just the overall sound. It makes it exceedingly unpleasant to stay there for long.

But, check it out. Just might be the party venue in Manteca you're looking for!
