ManderesOne of my favorite beer joints / restaurants in Folsom is a small pub and grill at 402 E. Bidwell called Manderes. They have a motto that says "No Crap on Tap" and they mean it. This place is just like Cheers. Brent (pictured above) and Dave, the owners, along with Avalon, Lindsay, Tim and the rest are super friendly and always make you feel welcomed in their "home"
Manderes only serves the best of the best beers and wines, and their food is very good.
Some of their great beers include my favorites: Alagash, Leinenkugel, Anderson Valley, Deschutes, Lagunitas and at least 100 more choices between on tap and bottled.

I've had a lot of fun going to this place over the past 1.5 years since they opened and once a month they host a really fun beer tasting event that always packs the house. They usually showcase a brand or style of beer each time that includes a tasting of the best selections along with an entree' for $18. It's held on the 2nd Wedensday of every month
If
you're ever in the Folsom area, I highly recommend you all check out this restaurant and bar. They have daily food specials consisting of grilled salmon, pork chops, and more, and their regular menu consists of such tasty dishes as Chimay Glazed Chicken, Korean Bulgogi (which you know I like) and they do up a really great steak, ribs, shrimp and more.
Be sure to try their cheesecake blintz dessert sometime too!
Another thing to note about this great little place, they've won many awards since opening: They're in the list of Draft magazines Top 200 bars in the NATION, they were ranked in Sacramento Magazine as one of the best things to do in the Sacramento area. They won KCRA 13's Best Beer Selection in Sacramento, and they have won several times for Best Bar in MyFolsom.com's Best of Folsom selection.
Thanks Dave! Glad to hear that you still like the place.
