Let me tell you about my latest adventure at FLB Sports Bar, which just might be the best thing since TV remote controls! This place is a touchdown in every sense.First, let’s talk about the service. The staff here is incredibly attentive. They somehow manage to keep the perfect balance of being available without hovering like a fog. You’ll feel well taken care of without feeling watched.Now, onto the food! The menu is filled with all the crowd-pleasers, but the showstopper has to be the buffalo wings. They are the perfect blend of crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, coated in a sauce that is just the right amount of spicy. Whether you're a fan of mild or wild, these wings have your back.As for the ambiance, it's all about that sports bar feel we love. Screens everywhere mean you won’t miss a second of the game, and the energetic atmosphere makes you feel like you’re at the big game yourself.All in all, FLB Sports Bar is a slam dunk (oh wait, wrong sport). But you get the idea. It’s the kind of place you’d want to hang out at all the time. So, get over there, grab a cold one, and enjoy the experience!

I had a jalapeño burger that was excellent. Bartender was real nice, order was good and accuracy. Beer was cold and most definitely
I came in tonight and was greeted by Danny. He was beyond kind and very attentive. He kept me laughing while making such good drinks! He had good food recommendations as well. The buffalo chicken salad was amazing! Definitely will be back

We were there for over 2 hours and were unable to complete a single game because the lane required constant service and had to be fully reset to start working again.

Unfortunately, FLB staff does not treat their loyal customers with respect. Struggles with communication & appreciation.. Holds a lane then gives it up without informing you. Front desk lady will demonstrate an attitude if you ask for a refund. The manager appears to support the unprofessional behavior. FLB staff need additional training on how to treat their customer. My family and I ended up going to the APEX. PS. Mark Pro Shop is awesome and absolutely recognizes his loyal customers. FLB staff, please request advice from Mark on business behavior techniques towards customers. Thank you!

I came here last weekend for a friend's birthday, and the really handsome blonde guy at the front door was very helpful and went out of his way to help me when we needed service while bowling! The western burger was delicious, and fries were fresh. Prices were a bit higher, but the service and atmosphere were better than most places. Will come again with friends!
The sausage wasn't cooked all the way or got contaminated. I ate nothing else so there was no other option of what made me sick. I def got food poisoning from the sausage. My son and his friends seemed happy with their chicken strips, fries & mozzarella sticks. Maybe that would have been a safe bet to eat. I wish I had had a better experience with their food. I'll probably just stick to sodas if we go bowling here again.

This particular vist was short. Had a couple drinks during happy hour watching a Kings game,No food. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Other clientele were also friendly and talkative.

I went to this bar for the second time ever on Wednesday October 18 with a group. One of the bartenders started harassing me while I was being served by someone else. He tried to COERCE me into accepting an order for a half size beer that I DIDN'T ORDER with the threat of calling the police. (Probably a CRIME) He kept repeating it at least a few times while interjecting for no reason till I got into an argument with the other bartender who was serving me about it. When she left and I began speaking with him directly, I got fed up and finally told him to go ahead. Then, when he called the police, according to the police, he LIED and said it was because I wasn't leaving, even though I was actually just disputing an order. (An actual CRIME, lying to the police) I was just defending myself. Despite the bartender's rude and unprofessional, and possibly criminal provocations, I didn't actually do anything. There was no disturbance this time or the time before that merited the behavior or being removed from the property. I only disputed an order that I did not order and defended myself against the bartender's ATTEMPTED COERCION. The bartender laughed in my face about it, and the managers supported him despite his clearly unprofessional and unwarranted behavior. From my perspective, it was clearly DISCRIMINATION. As a result, I suspected the bartender was a racist, probably prejudiced against white people, if not more. I had to explain that they lied to the police and had to speak with them for about half an hour while I waited for my ride. Mysteriously, one of the three police officers, who was also Hispanic like the aforementioned bartender, interjected laughed in the same exact way (while I was being spoken to by a different police officer.)The entire incident was riddled with COWARDLY behavior, from the bartender and his unwarranted threats to call the police, to the staff who could not be bothered to argue against said clearly inappropriate behavior and alternatively decided to support it in the end. The people surrounding these likely racist individuals probably aren't suspicious of it because they are either too easily deceived, or aren't considered a threat by them. Either way it seems Folsom is filled with people who either don't know or don't care that they're being taken for a bunch of fools. I was only able to drink one 32 oz beer before this incident started and from then on the rest of my night was ruined by staff who are PAID to facilitate their customer's enjoyment with their services at the establishment. Instead, the OPPOSITE was done. My rights were violated, the establishment basically stole from me when they forced me to leave after I barely touched any of the $30 of food I ordered, and it was overall an extremely offensive and disrespectful way to treat a paying customer. The management seems to be too wishy washy and lacking in necessary management skills to be able to recognize when their employees act in bad faith, and in BAD BUSINESS.Beware of having too good of a time here, especially if any of the staff happens to be somehow prejudiced or threatened by you for their own personal reasons, despite the fact that they are getting paid. Pick somewhere else where the staff can act professionally.Also: I received harassment over yelp in response to my similar review there the form of a "compliment." Somebody who wrote with the diction of a child knew details which suggested they were told about the incident by one of the present employees. As far as I know, the establishment does not care and will not hold themselves or their obviously immature and unprofessional employees accountable.

The food used to taste so good but what happened to their Chef Benjamin? Used to come with my family for great food service and awesome food but the quality of food is not the same without the Chef.
